I wish I read this Snowboard FAQ when I started.

Google begins as a web search company, started by 2 researcher in Stanford with seed money from VC.

It grows and evolve into a big monster today; search (of course), email, newsgroup, news, translation tool, what not you got, and of course - IPOed.

Rumor has it going to go into browser too, it won't be long before it's into the like of Yahoo and Microsoft. It's cool to see Google is powered by the most advanced technologies, from Linux on cheap PC to many in-house software.

From the look at the bright people it employs, it must be a cool company to work for, if you have the calibre.

When I was a kid, there used to be a small shack by the side walk in my neighorhood that sell toys and snacks. Actually, it's more like a stand than a shack, it was made of woodboard and carton boxes, with a sheet on top of it.

It was ran by a old guy with short silverly white/grey hair. He carts out all his stuffs from home each morning and setup shop there. The stand is near Canton road, and there's a lot metal shops there. The area smells like rust and burn metals.

He sell snacks like candy, junk food and alike, as well as a lot of toys. Among the toys are small plastic model kit; I still remembered I bought the first Gundom 1:144 kit there. It was such an excitment to drop by and check out the new arrivals each day after school. I got hook for that, even I don't have a lot of money to buy. And Yes, I was window shopping.

I don't know if the stand still there anymore, but likely not since the area is re-built and roads in the surrounding are reshape into major road.

Damn.... can they come up with weapon like this? I still remember the Sterling unit Kevin and Michael have.
