Last night I was surfing the internet and I ended up at my friend's Dave Everhart myspace page. He had background music which I had never heard and I liked it. It was Loro by Pinback . Here are lyrics to the "song" Loro . I like it. Since my buddy Eric Copen and his wife went to San Francisco , I decided add this cool video about San Francisco with Loro playing in the background. Enjoy!

I have been enjoying a series on Gallery HDTV which is called, " The Private Life of a Masterpiece ". It is an old BBC show which has been recreated for HDTV. It's an amazing show. I have always been an art lover and I am the type of person who can sit in front of a painting and view it, ponder on it, reflect on it and basically use it as a literary tool. My wife and friends sometimes don't see why I sometimes take so long to sit infront of a painting. When I look at good art, I tend to ponder about various things in life and what is the artist trying to convey through his art. Enough of the mumbo jumbo...So far I have seen the episode about Sandro Botticelli's Primavera and Vincent van Gogh's ("Goth") Sunflowers (the 9th version) . As many of don't know (including myself before I watched the show) that Vincent painted 10 versions of the Sunflower painting and his 9th is considered the masterpiece since the background is yellow and the m...

On February 24th, 2007, a dear old man from our church passed away. Usually when you tell someone that you are going to a funeral or when someone passed away, the answer mostly is ,"I am sorry" or "Sorry to hear that". Anyway I told about the old man to a Christian brother I know and he said "Good for Him" and then he said "I am happy for him." I was taken back by his comment since you hardly hear replies like that. After couple of seconds, it hit me why he said that. The Christian brother said those comments because he is was expressing his joy that the old man is going to be with Our Precious Jesus Christ. As the Christian brother put, the old man has finished his race. It is also a good reminder that our race is still not done and we need to stay on the right course. Once we die then other people can say we, as Paul, ran the good race. In closing, please look at Hebrews 12: 1 - 3 (KJV) , "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed ab...

Johannes Peter Wagner is considered to be one of the best to ever to play Major League Baseball. He was a short stop who: won eight batting titles in the National League lead the National League in RBI and stolen bases five times A career .329 hitter with 722 stolen bases. He was also known for his defensive skills. Now that's pretty good. Don't you agree? The reason why I am writing about "The Flying Dutchman" aka Honus Wagner is that his baseball card got sold couple of days ago for $2.35 million . Wow!!! That's alot money. Why is it so expensive? In the early 20th century, tobacco companies had baseball cards in their tobacco products. After a few months in the store, Honus Wagner asked the tobacco company to ban his baseball cards since he felt that baseball cards in tobacco products encouraged kids to buy tobacco and smoke. That is truly remarkable since he did the "moral" thing. Unlike today where star baseball players shoot themselves with stero...

Who is David Wong? I worked with David Wong at Grants.gov where he and I worked on XML Forms using XFDL . He was a pretty good developer. Anyway I also periodically read David Wong's website . This David Wong is not a J2EE guru but rather an american foreign exchange student who is studying in Western China. I have been following his blog at http://www.davidwong.com for three years. I call it an ideal blog where he talks about his adventures in Urumqi, China and basically gives you an update about his life on the other side of the planet. It is not a blog about technology, nor a blog about raising kids, nor a blog about sports but it is someone's journal about their life in a distant country. Therefore if anyone of you is in another country and you keep an English blog then please write about it in the comments section. Thanks!

If I had to write to the Prime Minister of United Kingdom Tony Blair then what would I write to him about? Would it about his decision to join the US in "I-rack" (Iraq) or would it be about Faulklands or about the ridiculous Gas (Petrol) tax in English cities? Frankly I don't know. I would pass on the opportunity. Nevertheless yesterday I saw a letter in my mailbox which was addressed to: Prime Minister Tony Blair 10 Downing Street London SWIA 2AA and it was from a person in Hagerstown, Maryland. My wife is planning to put the letter back into the mailbox so that it would reach its appropriate destination.

This afternoon I drove my mother-in-law back to Philadelphia (Philly) and it was a long drive. First of all we ended up getting lost in Philly and therefore we drove for another hour before we reached our destination, my mother-in-law's home. While driving through Baltimore , I came across two vehicles which had the logo of Enoch Office Equipment . I immediately knew that Enoch Office Equipment, Inc would be very successful or it would be like Enoch in the Bible: "... he [was] not ;..." - Genesis 5:24 . My mother-in-law and I also stopped at The Maryland House and we ate Crab Cake sandwiches at Philips' Seafood Express . It was YUM!!! After dropping her off, I immediately drove back home. The return trip took four hours. It usually takes two and half hours from Philly back to my place. While I was stuck in traffic, I was listening to Howard Eskin's sports talk show on 610 WIP radio station. He talked about the Philly pro sports like the Flyers, Sixers, Eagles...
