I have been waiting for the second generation of iTouch for couple months now. A few weeks back, I finally got one. I have to say, it exceeds my expectation even after all the hypes surrounding it. The touch screen is top notch. I have not use a touch screen so responsive before. After using it for awhile, I have trouble adoption to my dull and sluggish Garmin gps.Most of the build-in

Couple weeks ago, I finished the game in regular level. It clocked my total game time at 11 hrs. In reality, it probably took me around 12 hrs with a few death along the way. I found the game to be quite easy, especially for those who have played the first one in the series. Many of the opponents are directly ported over, with minimum changes. So you can apply the same techniques you learned to

For the first time last night, I finally got to play GOW II on my PS2. I only played up to the first check point and I got to tell you, this game is simply amazing. The gameplay is very much like the first one, which I am glad they didn't change. It sports fixed angle third person perspective on the main character, Kratos. The look and feel of Kratos are also similar to the original. After

For those of you actually following my blog, you know that I have been waiting to get my hands on a copy of God of War II. On March 13, this game was finally released in the US for the PS2 console. I didn't have time to pick up a copy last week. Bu I will definitely try to get it this week. This game so far has a rating of 95% on GameRankings, which ranks even higher than the first one!:-~~~~

This afternoon, my wife and I went to a Japanese restaurant (name not disclosed) in Japantown that we normally go for lunch during weekends. As usual, the place was packed with many people already waiting outside. We walked in to put our name on the reservation list and noticed the Sushi Bar was pretty empty with only one customer. I have heard before that some sushi bars have minimum charges

Couple months ago, a group of friends and I were discussing about Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area and Kabuto came up as the best one in San Francisco from one of them. I didn't catch the exact location of the place, so it got shoved in the back of my mind. Then last weekend during our drive back from snowboarding, another friend also mentioned it as one of his top two Japanese restaurants in

This pass Sat., I went to Alpine Meadows for snowboarding and had a chance to tested out my new Burton Elite board! At first, I thought I could not make because I could not find a ride to hitch. At the final moment, a friend with a X5 stepped up and offerred to drive. First time been to Alpine. It is a short distance from Squaw Valley. Not as big, but the trails are nice and long. The weather was

I have been looking for a new board whole season long to replace my 4 years old, badly beaten, Lamar board. There are many so-called End of Season Sales going on in many stores throughout the bay area as well as online. But either they are made by no known companies or the sales are mediocre discounts.Finally last week, I went to Any Mountain and saw some decent boards with over 40% off. One of
