Reading Time: < 1 minute   Source: Google CN and Yahoo China (Why did not baidu come up with something?) I noticed Yahoo (US version) has lots of pictures about Lunar New Year.

Reading Time: < 1 minute I was a bit surprised to see Dixie Chicks won the “album of the year” award. I was happy because it’s a band I like. I got the “Taking the long way” CD last May when it was just out with lots of controversy. I guess the CD sales will soar and the price will go up 🙂 For the Dixie Chicks

Reading Time: < 1 minute Call it gourmet coffee, premium coffee, or designer coffee, whichever way you want to call it. But I have seen the “Gourmet Coffee” bulletin board put up by McDonald to make fun of Starbucks’ price.

Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s not on the web. But I found some deals at the local stores (Brentwood). Obviously it’s not just the online stores such as Zappos (or Amazon Endless) gives discount for shoes.  For instance this one ASICS GEL Kayano® XII Stability Running Shoe is $89.99 at SA. Amazon asks for $99.99 and  Zappos asks for $138.95.

I found Crocs shoes are actually gender-neutral, as you can see from the size definition, e.g., size 4 stands for Women 6/Men 4. I think people choose the

Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s Superbowl time. Time to get the HDTV. Here is Vizio 50″ from Circuit City. Note I am not getting any referring fee from them. I heard Superbowl is the big time for HDTV sales. Some retailors such as Best Buy, Circuit City should be very happy.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Today I went to Post Office to mail something. I noticed there are lots of people, which is not unusual, because people want to get things done in the weekend. What surprised me a bit is there are many people applying for the Passports. This also makes sense to me because recently the goverment issues
