Google has recently announced Google Finance service that competes directly with Yahoo! Finance. Yahoo! Finance has been around for a long time and it is at a much better position then Google Finance. Google Finance certainly is not a weak competitor in the arena. Google Finance has all the basic features a financial website offers you, such as searching symbols in either north America (NASDAQ,

Friend of mine forwarded me this video which shows a multi-input touch screen demo. I am amazed by their video processing performance. I wonder how it feels like :)Speaking of which, I believe I have seen something similar before. It wasn't available to the public but I happened to get it from a friend of mine in Korea. He forwarded me 4 multi-input touch screen video demo from Sony Japan who

As an honor member of Elec2005, I was invited to the New Year Dinner Party of Elec2005 organized by Rishi Anand on December 30, 2005. The party took place in Frankie Tomatto's (Italian buffet restaurant) and there were close to 40+ people showed up. When I was dinning with the classmates of Elec2005 (aside: I am originally from Comp and I took a lot of power/semiconductor courses in 4th year ...

Allan is my best bud in HK and he is a super nice guy! We used to play basketball together while we were in high school in HK. I went to HK this summer after I graduated. He told me that he was now in to digital photography. He has his own online photo album to share his photos, such as Trip to Taiwan and Christmas Décor in HK. He also has his pet cat (see pictures below ... and it's real!!) and

My co-worker, James Zhou (pronounced as Chow in Cantonese) , has received the best gift he has ever had - a new born girl. His daughter's name is Serena Zhou and she looks really cute! James has created a blog for Serena. Please take a moment check out her blog (although it's maintained by James :P) and best wishes this little girl on her first Christmas!(Courtesy of James Zhou)Cheers,--J

Kevin was my manager in PXLW and he is a super nice guy. Everyone in the office miss him alot and we took him out for dinner on the day before his last day. Victor and I drew him a farewell card (Thanks to Maria for finding out my talent!) and we (Drake, Matt, Maria, Laila, Victor and me) had also prepared a hockey goalie stick with all our pictures on it as a farewell gift ...I've took some

Yeah, pictures are simply not enough. People say "picture means a thoursand words". Nowadays, people should also say "video means ten thoursand words"! My DC certainly isn't the top-of-the-line but it does a great job for taking instant video. Since I've already had my phot blog, might also take the advantage of video blog to share videos with you all, and there it is ... http://

I've read an interview of Dr. Kai Fu Lee from a website. Part of the interview he talked about one of his unforgettable experience in SGI (I will translate it in English)李 开复曾经认为， 做技术就要做最高深先进的技术。1996年在SGI公司，李开复和同事们做了一个很酷很棒的技术，获了很多大奖，但他们没有考虑到市场需求，因为没有市 场，这个技术等于白做，李开复不得不把部门卖掉，解散了员工。这件事对李开复影响很大，甚至是自己认为成长经历中最难忘的一件事，也是学习的最大的一个教 训。 李开复带着这个教训来到微软之后，发现这里的技术是面向市场、对社会产生变革和作用的技术。李开复记得盖茨说的话：“

Alright ... it's me again. Although it seems a long time, our convocation was just 3 months ago. I finally organized the photos and uploaded them to my online photo album site. I have to admit that the photo aren't premium quality because I don't have a super-fast Internet connection. To avoid spending hours to upload, I reduced the quality so I can upload them sooner.

"Late better than never" always works for me :P ... I've kept these photos for over a year now. Finally I've organized them and post them to my on-line photo album. Project ARTEMIS is the thesis project of our undergraduate degree. It is one of the most successful project I've had. I am sure my partners (Alisa, Dan, Ian and Sunny) feel the same.There are two parts of these photos. The first part

The weather in GTA was insanely bad on 19 Aug, 2005 and tornado was reported in certain areas. Cars were flipped over and trees were damaged by the tornado.100 cm of rain fall was recorded in less than two hours (!!) and certain area (such as Scarborough ) was flooded and power was out for that evening.

Sunny is a cool guy and he is also a buddy of mine. Recently he sent me the URL of his blog. I have known him for years and he is a better writer than me. I am sure you will enjoy reading his blog more than mine. As you may see, I have been treating my blog as a online photo album ... Probably it isn't the smartest way but hey it works!

The ECE486 class has a deal with Prof. Wang. We need to raise $150.00 for Tsunami Relief and Engineers Without Borders ($75.00/ea.) by next Wenesday (Feb 23, 2005), and we will have our ECE486 lecture cancelled the day after IRS.

Okay, today my supervisor purchased x2 512MB SDRAM PC133 modules and the computer boots now. But the thing that I was worry about becomes true: those sons of a bitch formatted hard drive as well as stole the memory modules (!!) Man, I seriously have nothing say ... Either they really hate my supervisor or they really have nothing to do. It seriously affects the project schedule and I will need to

Even though there are locks in all lab doors, someone still finds one's way to take whatever one's want ... Today I went in the robotic lab and tried to work on my research project. Last time I came to the lab was this Monday. In the next couple days I was so busy preparing job fair and interviews. So on Thursday I told me supervisor that I would come to the lab during weekend.
