Wow. Travelling a lot lately. Singapore last week, Ningbo, Shenzhen and Dongguan this week, Shanghai next week, Ningbo the week after that. A bit heavy, I must say. Good period of time, though. Decision time - do we hire those people that will allow us to dive into manufacturing over here, or no? My boss is here, and we are really coming to grips with it all. Checking out factory space tomorrow. Clarity of vision is what we need here, to be continued. It has been a great week with him thus far, to be sure. Some serious potential exists over here.

Had a good friend from China come down to Hong Kong a few weeks ago, and had a great time. He worked me over pretty well in Chinese Chess, a new game to me. Unlike international chess, there is a lot of blocking, skipping over pieces, and feinting in this game that reflects the culture it comes from, if you ask me. Good game, though - it makes you look at a competitive board game a bit differently.

Some interesting shots taken over the past few weeks. The new Airbus A380 is on the prowl, apparently, with Singapore Airlines getting the first planes. Man, is the tube big. It looks like it should be longer.


How in the world do you turn this fan off?
I thought I had seen some messy, hard to debug wiring in my time, and then I saw this in an apartment building in Hong Kong. This is a bad scene.


Now this is the way to dispense concrete to wheel barrows. Clever contraption.

What a nice goober. I bet he fills those shoes and much more.

I got Googled! Chris and I were in Singapore on work, and headed west on the Ayer Rajah Expressway in the Queenstown area, and a Google maps person was taking video for the 3D Google Earth project (name?). If anyone sees me in a taxi driving along the expressway, let me know!


That is all for now. Too tired to discuss anything deep!
