Last year I found a good deal on a Wacom Bamboo tablet and thought it would be fun to have. I’ve always loved to draw, sketch, and trace. I also loved to mess around with Photoshop and Illustrator. As you know, if you been reading since the beginning, I want to get into web development; but its been taking much longer and its more of a hobby.
Anyways, here are some of my sketching I made using Photoshop.

After reading this article on Cnet, I have to completely agree with Larry on his observation of his Windows XP machine. Not only does my corporate issued late model IBM Thinkpad running Windows XP takes forever to boot up, it also suffers from not being able to shut down properly. Since it is a laptop, my alternative to bypass the wait is to just close the lid and put it into hibernate. At least that shaves off about 3 minutes wait time for me. Its quite embarassing when I use my laptop to help troubleshoot the network and if I had to reboot; it’ll take approximately five whole minutes before I can start working my magical tech skills.
As for the shut down problem, I hardly experience that since I almost never turn the damn machine off to begin with. However, reboots are nightmare... Continue Reading...

I lost mine on my birthday last year and have been settling for using my iPhone. However, the in-laws are coming to town and so we need one now. I had the Sony Cybershot N1 model, the original 3 inch LCD touchscreen digital camera. It was 8.1 mega-pixels and I’d like to think it was cutting edge 3 years ago. The thing with Sony is that unless you purchase its top of line models, their items are very mediocre. From television sets to digital cameras to laptops; this runs true. Another thing with Sony besides it being quite stylish in aesthetics is that it packs way too many fun/uesless features that you’ll never use.
I am now looking for another digital camera which my main goal is to have it as compact and portable as possible. One thing is for sure, since Circuit... Continue Reading...

A client I am activing pursuing has been MediaPost, because I feel that they definitely can use my company’s services in regards to deploying a managed network solution for all their events. The reason being is this event relies on the internet as all its attendees and its main theme relates to online marketing and advertising. Since they were in Los Angeles, I decided to stop in at the venue to see how the event went as well as sit on some of the track sessions.
The event did not feel very large in terms of number of attendees and network usage did not seem very high as well. Rather than every attendee carrying a laptop, it looked more like every attendee had an iPhone. Perhaps its like that at all trade shows nowadays. Perhaps people are actually paying attention to what... Continue Reading...

The title sums up my resume and career outlook at the moment and that is my main concern. In order to be successful, you need a certain skill you excel at as opposed to being mediocre at many skills. I am an Account Manager managing a portfolio of over 20 properties in the Southern California region, namely, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties. However, I do much more than act as an Account Manager and when necessary, I put on a different hat and hop into a different role when needed. The exception to this is access, my company does not provide enough access for personal growth to become adept at one single skill.
I have two sets of clients, one is the hotels under contract with my company and the other set is the clients that use the conference spaces... Continue Reading...
