Remembering Steve Jobs...

I have some information for remembering Steve Jobs.  I spoke to my friend at Apple and he said that the public can send your thoughts, memories, and condolences via email: rememberingsteve@apple.com or go to apple.com.

Have you seen the Apple logo with Steve's silhouette?  You can buy the tee shirts from a third party which 100% of the profit will go to NPCF (National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation).

For me, Steve Jobs' death hits close to home.  I grew up in the Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale and I lived there for 20+ years since 1980.  I saw the ups and downs of the Silicon Valley.  It's hard not too.  The computer tech industry was the life line for everyone that lived in the Silicon Valley.

We Say Goodbye to Steve Jobs...

Sadly, yesterday on October 5, 2011 Steve Jobs passed away at the age of 56.  The world will miss the most iconic creative 'Genius' CEO of our times. 

I think President Obama's tribute to Steve Jobs sums it up perfectly.  Obama said that Steve Jobs was one of America's greatest innovators, a man "brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."

Steve Jobs helped create everything that we've grown to love and use religiously on a daily basis from all the Apple products such as the iPhone, iPad, iPods, iTunes, Mac products, and Apple stores.          

He truly understood what the end…

The Night Life in Tahoe City at Lake Tahoe

Ok, we really don't get to go out for late night events since we have three kids, but since our good friend Lucas Rodenbush was djing up in Tahoe City at Lake Tahoe last Saturday we went up to support him.

Lucas who goes by E.B.E. professionally is in the underground dance music industry.  He's put out many records through various labels since 1995 and has djed all over the US and the World.  With that being said, it worked out well that he was visiting us and picked up a gig to dj up in Tahoe City, so off we went.

Going to Tahoe City that night was also an adventure in itself.  We live in South Lake Tahoe, so normally we would go around West Shore to Tahoe City which would have taken about 50 minutes…

Today was Snowing in South Lake Tahoe.

Here's a shot of the Bijou Golf Course when it's snowing in South Lake Tahoe.

The visibility was so bad that I couldn't even see more than 10 feet ahead of me when I was driving through this neighborhood.  If the wind didn't blow the snow off the pine trees then it was fine.

Looks like it's going to be a fresh powder day tomorrow!!

Working Hard and Late in South Lake Tahoe...

Ok, I've been working hard and late in South Lake Tahoe to transfer all my contents into this new website of ours and I noticed it's already 2:42 in the morning.

I'm going to sign off now until tomorrow when there's daylight. 

Till then...

I've been tagged...here's my first Meme

Yesterday, I got tagged for the first time by Loreena Yeo from Frisco, TX whom I recently had the pleasure of personally connecting through AR.  Thanks Loreena.  So here I go...

1.  My husband, Brandon, and I sell real estate in Lake Tahoe.  Ok, that was a given.

2.  We have three girls.

3.  We love snowboarding so much that we moved to Lake Tahoe before our second child was born.  Brandon is a phenomenal snowboarder.  He can go really fast until his big accident five years ago when he went off a super huge jump in the snow park.  I think he still goes really fast.

4.  We love to travel.  Favorite spots are Hawaii and Disneyland.

5.  We're a BIG FOODIE family. …

Snowboarding at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe

We bought our Heavenly Ski Resort season passes that's good for Heavenly, North Star, and Sierra weeks ago, but we've been so busy with work that we finally got to snowboard just this last Sunday.  Our family came up to visit us from the Bay Area, so we all headed to Heavenly.

It was a gorgeous day with blue skies and the temperture was like spring time.  It was a perfect day.  The views were phenamonial, we had great company, it was a perfect day, the snow was great...what more can we say?  Snowboarding at Heavenly Ski Resort is just heavenly. 

We work hard, but we have to make room to play as well. …
