IE6 + Yahoo Toolbar = Tabbed Windows Explorer
Maybe I’m the last one to figure this out, but just in case I’m not, maybe you’ll find this interesting.
Problem: Windows Explorer does not offer tabs, so you end up with 4 or 5 separate windows explorers to view files such as c:\foo, d:\bar, and so on and so on.
Hack solution: The yahoo toolbar enables tabbed browsing in IE6, which is really just the same as the windows explorer. So, if you keep one of the tabs as a web page (i.e. your personal home page), you can add tabs and use them to browse the file system, eliminating the need of multiple windows explorers in your task bar.
It’s a little tricky sometimes to add new tabs. You might have to put the browser focus on the web page, then hit Ctrl+N. I suspect IE7 will be able to support tabbed windows explorer by default.
You can find the Yahoo toolbar here.

How Microsoft Lost the API War - Joel on Software
Great article. The last paragraph summarizes exactly what I feel.
"The new API is HTML, and the new winners in the application development marketplace will be the people who can make HTML sing."

Pictures from Taipei
We went back to Taipei for chinese new year. Here are some pictures from the airport. We have more pictures, but I haven't downloaded them yet.
The pictures are with my dad John and his wife Gloria. That'd be Jack's grandpa and grandma!

Lakeshore Landing - Renton, WA
They are building a new outdoor shopping/entertainment complex near our house. To be completed 2007/2008. I think that'll boost our home value a little too!

Saving for college: Why 529 plans are so popular
Did you know that you can gift 5 years in advance? That means as a married couple, Allyson and I can gift $110,000 to someone and not pay a single penny in taxes.
Saving for college: Why 529 plans are so popular: "The money you put in a 529 account is considered a gift and, as such, qualifies for the annual $11,000 gift tax exclusion; that is, you can contribute up to $11,000 annually starting in 2002 without incurring any gift tax. According to the gift tax law, you can contribute five years' worth of 'gifts' in one year and not incur any gift tax as long as you don't contribute anything for the next four years. So if you had the money available now, for instance, you could contribute up to $55,000 this year ($110,000 if you're married) and let the interest on that money grow and grow. It's also a great way for grandparents to move money out of their estate quickly without incurring taxes. Keep in mind, however, that if you exceed the gift tax contribution limit in a given year, the excess money will be taxed at a rate of 20 to 50 percent, depending on how much you give. But if you're considering this option, check with a financial advisor or tax professional first."
