It's 2023. I was surprised to realize that 30 years had passed since I got to college. I've seen many debates about engineers in their 40s. Many times it sounds silly or meaningless, but even to me, entering my 50s soon gets me into a complicated

My 2022 resolution was to write at least one blog post a week. Though I couldn't keep the phase, I wrote more than 60 articles this year. So, I've achieved my goal overall. Recently, I stopped using Twitter; I might use this place more like using

I couldn't watch this year's Oscar as I was captured in Nexus [https://www.ign.com/wikis/halo-infinite/Nexus], and I might miss the most controversial moment of the week - the slap by Will Smith. It is interesting (and surprising) to see that the most

Finally, my living room was completed with Xbox Series X. You might not know, but it was super hard to buy since it was released on 12/12/2019. I performed supersonic mouse clicking at the launch date but only found every effort in vain. While Series S is now

One collateral damage of my Death Valley trip was that we bought La-Z-Boy recliners. We had one night at Harris Ranch, and the room had a recliner. All my family loved it, and we decided to buy one. We bought one love chair and one manual recliner from La-Z-Boy. So,
