nth Degrees of Mike Shinoda
We’ve been too busy to post anything for a couple weeks and that’s a good thing… It’s been too fun meeting up with family, friends, and random celebrities. In the one month we’ve been here, I’ve seen Shaq driving a convertible on the 405 (not really), Kid Rock in a bar in Monterey (not really), DJ Qbert walking into the character breakfast at the Disneyland hotel (probably not really), and became aware that I have a mere two degrees of separation from Lincoln Park/Fort Minor headman Mike Shinoda (really). More photos and stuff will follow after our return home. We’re departing on April 25 and will be home at the…

The Children’s Museum at La Habra
This museum was about 40 minutes away from our house and had the most impressive trophy room I’ve ever seen. I mean, it was like a great trophy room with a bunch of stuff for kids to do as well. For the purpose of edutaining kids, this place gets 3.25 stars out of 5 (but if it had been crowded it would have dropped below 3, I think). Their flashtastic website is here.

Fishing Derby at Mile Square Park
Although we skunked out like most on that day (in spite of 1,600 lbs of rainbow trout being stocked a couple days before), we had a great time. We met Phil Friedman and everybody around us was friendly. The kid fishing next to us picked up his sister’s pole when it bent over late in the day (his sister had gotten bored and wandered off somewhere) and he pulled in the biggest fish of the day. All in all, it was a good day.

First three days back
Day 1: Indoor rock climbing with my little sister Day 2: First snow for Mina and Max, up at Wrightwood Day 3: Storytime at the Main St. Branch of the Huntington Beach Public Library. First beach visit – we parked in the state beach lot and started walking to the water, but MAx and Mina got distracted by the sand so we headed back. Still too cold anyway. Got a SIM for my phone (more on this later) at At&T and went indoor climbing again. Pho dac biet for late dinner.

Incheon blue
Say what you want, Incheon has the best WiFi of any mega airport in the world. It looks like they have 4g LTE service as well.

I accidentally deleted all of my Gmail contacts with my Android phone…
…but this is why I use Gmail instead of, say, Hmail or Ymail. I restored all 1,000+ of my contacts by logging into Gmail on a PC and doing the following: Click Contacts. From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts. Choose the time you’d like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you’d like to return to where you started. Click Restore. You’ll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete. You can perform a restore from up to…
