In case you haven’t heard, I’ll be starting to work remotely from the Los Angeles area in only another week. I’ll be continuing to work for Yahoo!, as there are still plenty of projects that I want to work on. Unfortunately for me, this happens to be an extraordinarily busy time. However, i’ve got to follow my priorities, and it’s time for me to move closer to my long-distance girlfriend and try out close-distance for a while. 
It’s going to be hard to stay on top of everything, but knowing myself, a good challenge and probably a beneficial change of scenery.
I’ll be back pretty frequently, so hope to see all my Bay Area people all the time. Zankou Chicken, here I come!
Change, Tech, Work
First off, my powerbook has come back! After less than $350 in repairs (yes, i was an idiot and did not get the additional AppleCare), it’s back in my hands and working well. Apparently, some logic board repairs/replacements can be done without costing a grand.
Anyway, on to the main event: I was finally able to get my photos from my drive up online! I was able to use an iPhoto plugin for Flickr to upload a handpicked photoset, and carefully annotate and describe each photo, all in a nice interface with a minimum of fuss.

In any case, I hope that you swing by the new photoset, entitled with the same name as this post. It was a beautiful drive up north, and I absolutely did take my time. It made my relationship with my 911 even stronger, as driving up Big Sur in a sports car is pretty thrilling. I didn’t really push the envelope, but going around those turns, I really felt connected to the road through the wheel, tires, and the throttle (Real men don’t use brakes). I just don’t think I could have had the same driving experience in a modern BMW, Audi, or Porsche.
By the way, I was kidding about the brakes thing. I think I got it from the F-Zero manual way back when.
In any case, it was one hell of a way to move.
Change, Fun
So i finally jumped back on the bandwagon.
For ultimate reference, i’m Gordon Luk. I’m a guy living in Los Angeles with a penchant for getting in way over my head. I work as a Systems Administrator, but i also am experimenting with business, entrepreneurship, web programming, and trying to have a little fun on the side.
I decided to start this blog to archive my work and discoveries while developing my career. Also, it should be useful for annotating various thoughts and mental explorations that may otherwise go unresearched.
