What's the best way to move my previous blogs here? Windows Live (whatever it was called before that.. oh, I think it's Spaces) is closing down for good and taking all contents to Wordpress. The blogs are there, but I lost all the photos. I kept some writings on Wordpress before but still can't quite navigate around the site well. Now my blogs are scattered all over the place, just like my brain.
Come to think of it, I still have stuff on some of the ancient devices that are now gathering dust somewhere in my pile of gadgets. How in the world am I going to get it out of there? Gotta find the charger first.

iPad 2 madness
I never imagined myself standing in line to purchase an Apple product... well, I didn't, but almost. I used to call those who lined up outside the store idiots when I walked by, and I nearly joined hundreds of thousands of them last Friday when Apple launched its iPad 2.
I had never been fond of any [i]shtuff in the past, mostly because I think they lack sophistication and customizability. They are great products, without doubt, but just not my cup of tea. However, the iPad 2 has a form factor, speed, and features that are far ahead of competition, namely Android and WP. I've been patiently waiting for an Android tablet to mature, but to this day haven't found one that can be an iPad challenger.
I finally ordered it online yesterday and now will have to endure the 4-5 wk wait that Apple claims on its website. After hitting a few retail stores, I'm now tired of the quest and Apple's info lock-down tactics for publicity purposes. So.. I'll just cultivate more patience and wait for it to arrive. Good news though, my green polyurethane smart cover shipped today. Ha!

Furlough
So I got sidetracked.. OK I'm alive and back, with renewed insights and perspective. 3 months whizzed by just like that and I don't even remember what important events occurred during this time. Oh, I heard on the radio today that some researcher discovered Alzheimer is linked to a protein produced in liver, so we can hope that by the time we fall between the high-risk range of age a cure would be found. Wishful thinking, eh!
We went to Vail on 2/19 for 4 days of what I thought was going to be great skiing, and I had to injure my right knee on the very first day! What luck! Good thing it's a tear in MCL, which will heal itself. Meanwhile, I'm on my best behavior, pausing all workout and dance.
Kids, on the other hand, had a wonderful ski trip. Stephie even went on black runs, and Anthony is ready for poles. I was able to ski with them a couple times before injury and see how well they maneuvered themselves on the slopes.
