10th Sep 2011 Saturday my glasses

I bought another lindberg glasses frame.
My uncle called me on Thursday to take me Portland on Saturday.
So I studied how to get the glasses shop.
But when I got there, they told me to make reservation for eyesight test.
And they don't have plastic frame of lindberg.
I asked them any recommendation of plastic frame.
A guy showed me several frames and while I was checking on it,
he showed me a model from lindberg. He said it is for clearance sale.
I got it 162.5 with 50% discount.

One thing of my concern is reservation of eyesight test.
A woman on reception desk said to me it would be October on which I can take the test.
I didn't know that. It's another culture that I should've known for American life.
Another thing is applying insurance for glasses.
I am not sure it would be my option, too, but my uncle's glasses are applied and purchased $80 cheaper than with cash.
I may go to the local glasses shop and school health care center for information about insurance.

23th Jul 2011 Triangle Lake

My roomy, Chris and his coworker, Bryan, and his friends, Patrick and Jenny.
In the stream out of the lake, there was a nature made slide.
I enjoyed it.
I regret that I didn't bring my camera.

t420 review

my vaio was old. Now it went to the box on the edge of my room.
I had to buy new note book.
Eventually, I choosed T420 from lenovo.
I am sure if I wait until September or hopely the black friday
I could've bought better one that I want with spec.
However, my old one was so slow and stuck for min with every click or input,
and I was forced to do homework with my com.
T420 from ebay came at the exact time they promised.

Previously the resolution of the monitor was 11" 1366*768.
I couldn't accept 13" or 14" with 1366*768 with other pretty notebook though they offer beautiful design and great functions.

I love 14" 1600*900 of T420
Merit
1. keyboard wide key.

A lot of blogs shows the merit of T420. So I may mention demerit I felt for my next choice after my T420.
Of course I love my T420 that has those merits that the blogs mentioned.

Demerit
1. swapping ctrl and Fn key
I don't know why lenovo stick to this option.
2. power button gives me slanted feeling when I push it.
3. no usb 3.0
I don't know how good usb3.0 is so I want to have it.
4. sd card slot is unconvenient to use.
5. On the flat there are several hole with steel. I already fold a steel in the hole while I try to put my 4 gb memory.
6. delete key is not in the edge of right up most. why?
7. I still don't know how to use touchpad. I need guidebook for it.
8. a little bit heavier than I expected. 4.6 lbs means a little bit over 2.0 kg
9. I still couldn't find the function that is playing music and monitor out.
10. I found out that the screen is not good when you miss the position of front angle. That means you have to keep the right angle to set your eyes just in front of the screen or you will lose your color or get negative sight(10 Aug 2011)

I wish T420 costed $1,000 but it costed $1,499 however it's still cheeper than the price online lenovo suggested.

buying T420 online

I wanted T430 for next year however due to my old tz notebook that turns off by itself, shoot bluescreen or bear hot floor, I had to do some fallback.
$1499, not cheap but not expensive for the spec.
What I am missing are
SSD 300G,
USB 3.0,
Longer Battery.

Maybe I am gonna have that function for my next notebook.
Now I am quite satisfied with the spec of T420 with price.
I have to c in fact if it really works after I get it.

Anyway, I bought it today and it's coming.

4th of July

Happy birth day, America.
I had BBQ party in Beth's house with international students.
I have problem with reading a book.
I am not sure it's my reading problem or time management.
Reading process is very very slow.
Need to concentrate on it!!!!

One day in America

I am in America.
I've been here since 09 Sep 2010
