My parents are really interested in parks, as evident that we visited most of the major parks in Beijing. Bei Hai Park had a body of water nearby like the Summer Palace, but we didn’t have as much time to visit the whole park.

China Trip 2007 Videos: Part 3 of 8
My family visited China in 2004 without me and I was jealous that I missed out on seeing the Great Wall of China. Thankfully, my parents were kind enough to take Jenni and I. I never realized that portions of the Great Wall had very steep inclines.

China Trip 2007 Videos: Part 1 of 8
There were many friends who were interested in what our China experience was like, so we put together videos of locations we visited. We presented our trip to our friends a week after we got back and also at my workplace.
The videos were too long to upload to YouTube or the now defunct Google Video, so we had not been able to share them on our blog. Until now.

All 4 Alive
I remember squinting to read the text on a gaming magazine page scan on the web that described an upcoming cooperative zombie game. Cooperative gaming, or “co-op” for short, hadn’t hit the renaissance it has today yet, but from what I read from the scans, Left 4 Dead was a game that made me think, “Why hasn’t this been done before? Fighting a zombie apocalypse with your friends?! Awesome!”

30 Thanks for My 30th Birthday
One of my favorite qualities about Jennilyn is her spirit for celebration. While I often get bogged down with the details in preparation, she always looks forward to any opportunity to make a day special—especially if it’s something like a landmark birthday.

Jenni and I had the privilege to hang out with Clark and Tovah on New Year’s Day as part of their marathon trip down the west coast. We introduced them to New Seasons Market and enjoyed a wok lunch.
When we returned to our house, Clark and I geeked out on Google Analytics, WordPress, Macs, Left 4 Dead, and Picasa while Jenni and Tovah caught up on other things.
While they have moved to the other side of the country, we’re still being blessed by their friendship. We miss them much and hope they can move back to Oregon someday.
They continued their tradition in giving the first baby gift (they gave us a onsie for Kadence at Easter Swing). This time, they opted to tap into my geek side.
