The face of eugenechang.com has changed, but the changes are more than superficial. I've decided to move the bulk of my blogging and home page content to Blogger in order to make updates and blogging much easier to do. Blogger also allows me to make updates via email...so I don't even need any development tools to upload new content. Some other advantages:
- Atom feed here for anybody that wants to subscribe (Albert)
- Potentially move all content off current hosts and get free hosting by Blogger
- Blog creation time cut down by half
I'll also be hosting any new photo albums on Google's Picasaweb. My previous method to upload pics on eugenechang.com was painful (resize/create thumbs, templates, gallery page, etc). I'll be making similar changes to judykim.com shortly as well.

Hollywood Christmas Party

Pictures from our year-end Hollywood Soccer party here. For those of you who don't know, I play on a regular basis in the LA Korean area soccer league. The league consists of about a dozen clubs, with each club having individual teams for the different age divisions (50 years and over, 40 years+, 30 years+, open division). There are about six tournaments a year with about 40 teams playing across the four different age divisions.
This year was not a great year, but not a bad year for Hollywood Soccer. In each tournament this year, one of our Hollywood teams (we have one of 20-somethings and one of 30-somethings) would reach the finals of the open division championship, but would lose to the same team each time (Orange County). The Orange team had a lot of talent due to two of last year's stronger teams (Orange and South Bay) combining into one team. Our younger team, however, was able to win the final tournament of the year, and our 30-and over team had one two of our division championships (our 30-and over team splits time between the open and 30-over divisions).
The highlight of the year was perhaps an intra-club tournament we had where our team divided into three teams...one Argentina-Koreans, one Brazilian-Koreans, and one team of everybody else. It was a very competitive tournament, with Argentina winning the league due to garbage goals and refereeing and a total meltdown by our Rest-of-World team in the final game.
Developing a Plumber's Crack

It'a amazing how much you can learn when doing renovations around the house. When Judy asks me about a fix around the house and says that it should be easy, I always tell her "there are two ways to do things...the right way and the wrong way"...hahaha. Sometimes, there are days when I don't have time or am too lazy and will do a fix the wrong way (see below).
Another example is a broken sprinkler pipe in our lawn. We have this sheared off section of our PVC piping that gushes 100 gallons of water a second whenever the sprinklers turn on. I tried to fix it the easy (wrong) way initially by getting a wine cork and trying to stuff it into the hole. When the water turned on, it shot that cork about 20 feet across the lawn...hahahaha. Now, I've decided to do it the right way and went to Home Depot to buy PVC pipe, connectors and red-hot glue. I'm estimating that it will take two hours to dig down, cut out the existing section and re-connect the pipes...but at least I'm learning how to do things the right way.
On a side note, Home Depot sometimes has employees that are really good in their respective fields. I found this guy who was a retired plumber (worked 30 years for the city), and just works at Home Depot cause he likes to help people out. I love free advice/training.
