Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Cinder. A great book, but I rate it 4 out of 5 stars. First of all, I feel like they could have done a better job with the front cover. Some people may not choose the book because of the red heel, but don't pay attention to the heel. The book has a great plot, if somewhat predictable and it makes you eager to read the next book, Scarlet. If you like fantasy/adventure, heart-breaking twists, then this book is for you. A great book.

2017 KIA Niro EX Brake Software Update

After having enjoyed green driving 2017 KIA Niro EX for over a year, KIA has put out a new software update for braking along with another update and a hydraulic actuator recall. I have been driving for the past two days, all i can say is that this has improved my driving experience tremendously. It is pretty much the same as driving a normal Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) car.  Unless you look at the badges, you would not notice.  -_

SlingTV and FuboTV Steaming Compared

I started using FuboTV because of 2018 Fifa World cup and the content it provided over SlingTV . There are three steams now temporary during Fifa. SlingTV had three at least a year ago. There are multiple streaming issues and i could not watch a game for a solid 20 minutes. Then the game DVR has an issue playing after mandatory 1 hr delay.  Often times in this past week, streams would pause, stop, or skip. I had only a few issues with Sling OVER A YEAR. Most annoying thing is OBNOXIOUSLY SCREAMING ADS making us turning down the volume all the time!!!!   UI can be improved to be more intuitive; even though, they recently redesigned it. It should have up and down channel while watching or see other channel contents in stead of going back out and stoping the current one. There should be last channels or favorites.  Recordings should be set for the whole series and so on instead of each particular episode. So much can be improved. I had to manually update this ios app,...

San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society and Soi 30th Thai food

Image
Yesterday was another nice day in San Diego. We went to  San Diego Cactus and Succulent society  Winter Show and Sale. There will be another show and Sale in June for summer. Apparently, there is a show each month in the Southern California area as shown in the link above. There were impressive showing of these small and large specimens. These were just outside room 101 of Casa Del Prado in Balboa Park in San Diego.  A lof of people showed up to buy.  We waited to pay for out Succulent selection in a long line because there were tons of available vendors with tables of cacti and succulent with pots and other supplies you can think of. If you come here, you can definitely get started. I spoke to one of the vendors, who answered all of the questions I asked. After that we went o Soi 30th thai Restaurant to enjoy some nice Thai food which was a short drive . It is preetty tasty as i will let the pictures do the explanation. These dishes are definitely authe...

2017 KIA Niro Hybrid

Image
After 7400 miles, I enjoy having this 2017 Kia Niro EX.  It is due for an oil change, which i will have to schedule. I am impressed with its value for the money. That was why i picked it in the first place. There is Apple Carplay and Android Auto on its 7-inch screen.  I have used speaker phone via this system while driving around town with the windows down and the other end on the phone was able to hear me just fine. This was a standard in this EX trim. Blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic warning definitely helped me broadening my vision as a safer driver. Fit and finish is certainly there with no complains.  There is a piece of felt on the safty belt lock in each of the front seats to reduce rattling noise. Outside noise level is reasonably low while driving at highway speed with the windows up. There is a hard brake feel which i think has something to do with regenarative braking for the battery. Somethime it jerks the car a bit, which deters from a smooth st...
