Silicon Valley

The TV show, not the actual location though that does obviously play a part of it. Such a great show and extremely funny. Love this scene from a couple episodes back.

Din Tai Fung Now in Santa Clara

This famous soup dumpling establishment finally opened up in the Bay Area. Long lines galore started happening since it's launch. But despite news of having no reservations, they're actually implementing a reservation system (via Yelp for online or call in for the old school method) starting coming Monday.

It's actually pretty smart of them to do this. It allows customer not to have to stand in line and be more organized. Definitely a game changer.

Overwatch

I really enjoyed the Open Beta. Never been into Blizzard games till now. This game definitely has promise. Not sure if I'll pick this up right away when it releases this month or just wait a bit. Looking for great deal (as always) so that could very well mean waiting for a bit.

$20 Back for Damaged Goods

Ordered the Millennium Falcon Lego set from Toys R Us online recently, but when I received it the item looked like this. Strangely enough, the box this came in wasn't dented at all. So I called TRU customer support and they refunded me $20. At first they offered a $20 future coupon code for my troubles but I told her that was quite lame. So I got $20 refunded, so I'm satisfied. But of course I'll take care of this smashed up item as well. It's a tactic we use quite a lot actually. But details won't be mentioned here.
