11 of us from CoreFact went bowling and to dinner the other night. It was a blast. I bowled a 165 and then a 159 which is pretty good for me. My team won! I have been bowling a few times with my son who is 4 and it is one of those great father son things to do. He really gets a kick out of it. Hopefully I can break 200 this year.

We have something we do similar at my office. We usally like to change it up and I don't think that we have ever when bowling. I think I will have to suggest this for the next party. angie's list real estate agents

New Year 2008

Posted Thu Jan 10 06:26AM

Happy New Year! 2008 is going to be an interesting year for real estate. There are a number of economic factors at play as well as a media which loves to predict doom and gloom.

Mortgage interest rates are currently very low.

30 Year Fixed: 6.07%
15 Year Fixed: 5.68%
1 Year Adjust: 5.47%

Interest rates might even go lower if the Federal Reserve drops short term rates by another half point as expected later this month.
On other economic news, unemployment rates jumped a bit in December which caused a stir in the stock market. Existing home sales rose 4/10% showing very modest growth. The current expectation is that we will begin to see a very slow recovery starting in the Spring. It is currently a buyers market so it might be a good time to look for a second home or move up by renting your existing home and purchasing a new home. With low interest rates, a buyers advantage, and good inventory, now might be a good time to act before market becomes extremely competitive as it has been over the last several years.
If you or anyone you know have any real estate questions or needs please feel free to call or e-mail me.

Here is a snapshot of the activity between 2006 and 2007 in Santa Clara County.

Hmm...
It doesn't look like prices are going down at all.
Maybe slowing a bit, but that seems about it.

2006 and 2007 were much better years then the last two that we just had. I am hoping that 2011 is going to be the time when things begin to show improvement.

Programming for Kids

Posted Wed Nov 15 07:35PM

Now that I have kids I reflect on my own childhood from time to time. Yesterday I was thinking about how and when I learned to program. When I was 11 years old, I started programming on a Commodore 64. Initially I started doing BASIC programming and then jumped to assembly programming which was the natural progression at that time for many of us. The beauty of the C64 was that you could completely understand all the components of the computer. Whether it was memory mapped video or programming the SID chip to generate sounds the basic functionality was easy to understand. Now a days the underlying hardware software-relationship is almost completely abstracted from the programmer unless you are in the business of writing drivers. In a way I think this is really unfortunate since there is so much to learn from solving problems at interrupt time. The beauty of the old systems is that a single person could do all the work. Since deep down I am an entrepreneur, I quickly jumped to the idea of creating a virtual environment for young kids to begin programming. It could be delivered in such a way that children could be introduced to new concepts when they are ready for them. Maybe it would start with a simple language like logo giving them a procedural way to draw on the screen. Then graduate them to something like BASIC or C and then to an object oriented language such as Ruby or Scheme. Projects could be conceived around programming the hardware to generate simple games. Maybe the solution is to just buy your kid a C64 or install an interpreter for them. There probably isn't a large enough market for such a product, but I think it would be useful to young kids that want to get into programming.

I agree, I think it would be great if someone created a toolkit for kids.

The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) may have an interesting effect on the future world of programming, from many aspects.

Wow that is a really young age to start out programing. I got my first start in middle school on the old computer that we had at my school. I loved doing it but really got sick of it in high school. angie's list real estate agents
