Kink.com

We went on a tour of the SF Armory, a historical building which is now the home of a fetish sex site, kink.com. It was definitely an interesting place. A few interesting facts:
1. There's thousands of rings mounted into the walls and floors all over the building. Every single one of these has been used at least once to suspend, hogtie, handcuff, or otherwise bind a nice lady.
2. One of their rooms features the largest arched roof in San Francisco.
3. Some Hollywood movies actually shoot scenes in here. The scene in Star Wars IV in which the Millienium Falcon lands in the Death Star's hangar bay was filmed in the large arched room.

Since these pictures are pretty risque, I'll just leave you with the link to the album:

Cute doogies!

I spent the weekend with Brian and Jenna helping them move, eating delicious food, and playing with their cute little doogies. Big thanks to them for their hospitality even during the very stressful act of moving. And here's some doogy pics. Check the link at the bottom for the full album.

Road Trip to San Francisco


I donated so much of my stuff over the past couple weeks that when I moved all my stuff into a tiny 5'x10' storage room it still had a lot of space left.
The drive from Seattle to San Francisco was quite pretty. Oregon is basically a big forest. This is was my view of Mount Shasta (and a truck).
I got to Brian's in Palo Alto right before Sunset and mostly missed all the traffic :)

The Adventure Begins

I just quit my awesome job in the Applied Sciences Group at Microsoft to make a massive life change. I moved out of my cushy Capitol Hill apartment with its comfy couch and huge TV into a backpack. I started a company called JRaph, LLC with my friend Raphael Mun. We're going traveling around the world together while working on projects for our new company. So far we've released one iPhone/iPad toy (it's not really a game), Intunesity, and are working on another one. A few days ago we left Seattle and split up to embark on road trips to visit friends and family before departing to Asia in December.

This is my first time ever having a blog, so this will be an interesting experience for me. I've never thought the things I had to say were interesting enough that people would want to read my ramblings. They probably still aren't. But hopefully I can make this interesting enough that it'll be something that people will want to read. I'm currently using Blogger but will be transitioning over to my own custom site I'll be building over the next couple months.

Well, here we go!
