Daiso Japan is right here in Mountain View, Ichiban Kan goes online

by Kris   ⋅   October 23, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

Yah, I’m a little late announcing it, but yah it opened a little late because they wanted the Grand Opening to be “just perfect”. What’s with Japanese and detailed perfectionism anyways? Ruins my life! Just kidding. Anyway, Daiso is a store packed with tons of cutesie utilitarian items from Japan and [...]

Yakko — restaurant review — California

by Kris   ⋅   July 10, 2007   ⋅   Comment [1]

Yakko joins Masa’s and Sushitomi for noteworthy Mountain View sushi. That already might sound a little odd, “Mountain View sushi”, but I’ve found much more authentic sushi down here in the Peninsula than in the City.

No confirmation on this just yet, but I heard that Google’s hiring criteria has just gotten even weirder. If you weren’t lucky enough to fall into the nepotism or Stanford alumni hiring line, you may have been scrutinized for all the little details including your college GPA, a practice more commonly reserved for high-end [...]

If you know Chris, you know that he’s spontaneously wacky yes, but he’s also very chill. And after a week of work and Calculus and Programming and other brainiac activities, he’d be happy to just kick back and watch a few movies or play some video games. That’s where opposites attract.. or maybe [...]
