• @uwfotog I use Spyder 3 and ColorEyes Display Pro (software) together. You can buy them as a bundle. #
• @adamnash I had no bids on my Blackberry Tour until last day, and then the guy never paid. This happened twice. eBay less useful these days. #
• I recommend Hotel Ryumeikan in Tokyo – just outside Tokyo station, ~$135/night, free internet. #
• I'm at the Conrad in Tokyo, which is incredibly beautiful, but crazy expensive. It's part of our honeymoon splurge — 1 night! :) #
• Places on Facebook App 1.9 for Blackberry hasn't worked for me yet in Japan. But my BB thinks I'm in the middle of the ocean. #
• Wow. As soon as we stepped into American territory (United lounge, NRT), the fruit became shitty. #
• Congrats to Sam Odio and the Facebook photos team: photo upload finally imports IPTC caption information! This changes everything for me. #

• We may be using a 640×480 projector for Taiwan banquet slideshow — quite embarrassing for a photographer's show. #
• Pam is a Small in the States, Medium in Taiwan, Large in Japan and XL in Thailand (Bangkok). Women's clothing sizes are so confusing! #
• Ohhhh boy. The (physical) wedding gifts have begun. We've tried to prevent it, but it is not possible!! #
• Trying to get family tree information while I'm here in Taiwan. The Japanese & Chinese names are making it quite difficult! #

• Driving by the (abandoned) paper mill my grandfather worked in from the age of 12 to retirement. #
• Pam, my sister and mom are off having hair and makeup done. My dad is playing solitaire, and I am going to fire up Angry Birds. #
• Ready for Taipei wedding banquet! http://yfrog.com/h28wjrmj #
