Wild Flowers at Steveston
Here are some photos of wild flowers taken last weekend. I thought the photos would be totally shorty from the sun blasting right above us but they kind of turned out okay….

Gudrun Tasting Room
Discovered this little restaurant in Steveston and was waiting for an opportunity to try it out. Gudrun Tasting Room is located in the Steveston Village, somewhat hidden but very trendy in what it offers.

Muji Tea
Been drinking less coffee lately. I still enjoy coffee but sometimes I feel like some alternatives. So far I find Muji tea to be one of my favorites.

Cherry Blossom, the last wave
This is probably the last set of cherry blossoms photos for the year. Our Spring has been exceptionally early this year but it is also pretty long. These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago.

HG Seravee Gundam – Part 5
Some more work in progress update of my HG Seravee Gundam. As mentioned last time, I like to beef up the shoulder armors without making the Seravee Gundam wider than it originally is. So here is how it is turning out.

HG Seravee Gundam – Part 4
Been thinking that the extra armor on the shoulders look a bit skinny compared to some linearts I have seen online. So I have decided to try something and see if I can improve the proportion of the armor.

HG Seravee Gundam – Part 3
Worked on the HG Seravee Gundam over the weekend and got it all snapped together. It is a lot bigger than I originally anticipated. Here are some pictures of the progress.

WD My Book Studio Edition II 2TB
Been meaning to sort out the storage on my iMac for a while now. My iMac comes with only a 320GB hard drive. At first I thought that was plenty of room. But with a camera that takes photos at 15M pixels, and a whole bunch of podcast videos I have been downloading from iTunes, I was running low with hard drive space on my iMac. I tried to keep files on the Windows Home Server but even with a GBit network, the added latency does not feel as good as accessing files on the local hard drive. Hence some new hardware is justified :)
The iMac has 1 x FireWire 800, 1 x FireWire 400, and 3 x USB 2.0 connections. Obviously speed is important here and FireWire 800 is the default choice. Been looking around on the market for something that also provides some fault tolerance. Was considering Drobo ($350 just for the box and no hard drives) but cannot really come up with the money for it. So finally settled with a somewhat cheaper solution: a WD My Book Studio Edition II with 2 TB storage ($280).
