Catching up on my Reading

seonghuhn | October 25, 2009 5:49 AM

I had not been on Twitter for awhile so October 13 was a big catch up day.  Unfortunately slavery has not disappeared since the last time I was on Twitter.

And Ji Seon left me for four days!  But fortunately she’s coming back this evening.  We’ve done okay, the kids have been great but I am a little tired. :-)

These are my tweets from the last several days.

  • Ji Seon says to Victoria "You’re so demanding." Victoria responds "I want so demanding." :-) Oct 19 09:45:10
  • The wife is leaving me for four days. I am doomed. Please feel free to visit and help. :-) Oct 22 06:31:59

Tweeting and tweeting

seonghuhn | October 13, 2009 12:00 AM

I began saving my tweets in my blog on a daily basis so I can search for them later.  This is an example of my crippling perfectionism. :-)

The biggest news in my tweets was the announcement of baby #4.

I thought this For Better or For Worse cartoon, one of my favorite cartoons, humorously captured most families’ experiences with sleep training.

Business Ideas

seonghuhn | August 8, 2008 11:16 AM

  1. health club for metrosexual asians (cool music, dark lighting, lots of instant noodles)
  2. costco and farmer’s market shopper
  3. handheld machine that translates Spanish, Chinese and all Indian languages (or at least Hindu, Tamil, Urdu and Bengali)
  4. robot that rocks babies to sleep
  5. video camera attached to glasses which records everything you see.  When you like something, you rewind and watch it on your glasses (this idea is copied from here).
  6. a pill you can eat that instantly removes a bad mood, preferably like a gummy vitamin
