The Products/Services
I am using or have used: (Believe me, you can
tell a lot about a person from the products he/she uses)
My
Cars |
1986 Ford Tempo GL/2Dr,
a company car, I drove it from 01/95 - 06/95.
1995
Acura Integra LS Coupe, 5 speed, 1.8L engine, 140hp, very
practical hatchback, one time I even put all my entertainment
center electronics in the car. black/beige, bought new
on 06/30/95, sold 06/98, putting 32K miles on it.
1998
Acura 3.5 RL sedan special edition, the car I am driving
now.
Yes, as you can probably
tell, I do like Acura very
much, because they make solid cars, keep good value, and not
so feminine.

My
'pocket' |
- Telebank
-
- One of a few banks (another
one is Compubank), that
are solely operated on the internet (supposedly save a lot of
costs for maintaining lots of local offices, but on the other
hand, may lack the exposure to the public), it has very good
interest checking (3.10+% APR on $2500 minimum daily balance)
and savings account (4.88+% APR on $2500 minimum daily balance).
Also I like their online payment service very much, after I
started using that service, I have never missed my bills anymore.
- Before that, I have
used Coastal Federal Bank, which is bought by HomeSavings
America, after being bought, I received poorer service,
in such, my ATM card cannot link all my accounts anymore, from
time to time, I would receive bank charges, for various 'reasons'.
So, Bye now!

My
Computers |
- Apple
Computers' PowerMac
G3/266 Desktop
- Several Unbranded Linux boxes, I assembled them myself and
install Linux and other GNU softwares on them:
- Dual Celeron 366 (@550),
- Pentium III 450 with SCSI Card built-in.
|
My
Trans-
portation |
- BART,
- It may be one of the
best public transportations available in the SF Bay Area, but
it's still too expensive, comparing $1.50 everywhere in New
York, it took me $5.90/rt from El Cerrito to SF downtown (of
course, the parking in SF is $17/day)

My
Third Eye |
- First camera : Minolta
Dynax 7000i, second generation of the world's first autofocusing
35mm SLR. It's called Maxxum in the US. Very unfortunately,
I lost the whole set of camera along with 2 Sigma
lens (one 24-70mm f3.5-5.6 Aspherical, the other 100-300mm)
in 1995.
- Second camera (the one
I am using now): Nikon N70.
It's one level down from Nikon's most prestige AE,AF SLR N90.
Also 2 Sigma lens (24-70mm
f3.5-5.6 Aspherical, 70-300mm
f4-5.6 DL Macro)
- See some of my works
in my online
gallery. Most of them are done with my Nikon.

My
Fax |
- eFax
- It is so cool and fast,
that the first day I have this service, I went ahead send me
a fax, by the time I came back to my desk, I have already received
it in my email inbox. How long does it take you to go
to a store, compare all the brands and features, costs, etc,
and set it up? Let alone some fax machines would have
conflict with answering machines, that you have to define which
one will take over first.
- And above all, it's
FREE, like many other internet services.
- BTW, my fax number is
(708) 575-8470.

time, and you don't need a pocket to take it with you.
