Food blog update
We went to a Chinatown staple for Simon's birthday. He even made "reservations". They sat us under the giant nylon orange lobster in the back. Everything has a tint of orange, except the Sunkist - that looked less orange.

Egypt - Day 4 part 2: Luxor at Night
We were way too tired and it was way too hot outside to tour Luxor in the afternoon. We washed up and took a nap. Found a place to have dinner - Amoun. The taxi took us to the building, we asked a government official looking guy in front of a court where it was. He took us to El Hussein instead. The place was empty and food sucked. We later found Amoun, it was on the other side of the building - packed with happy people eating.
After dinner, we decided to walk back to the hotel and catch Luxor temple on the way.
It's a giant temple that the ruling people keep building on top of. There are different layers of different architectural design - Egyptians, Romans, even a mosque built by the ruling Muslims.
Obelisk - similar to the one in front of Central Park (NY) - amazing how the engraving is still so deep and visible.
Massive Columns - the "guardian" shook us down for "bakeesh" for posing shortly after this picture

TickerHound Update
We released a bunch of features that we've been working on for the past few weeks early this morning - after a late night coding and bug hunting fixing session.
These features are under the Tools umbrella:
Dictionary - look up 6000+ stock related terms (from investorwords.com)
Stocks - look up stock quotes, add stocks to questions (from quotemedia.com), done with Eric and Burak's help
People Search - look up users
Articles - this isn't new but we re-did some of the backend
New Search - search everything! with AJAX autocomplete!
Also, with the Monique's help (she knows how to make things pretty), we shift a couple of things around to make the site much easier to use and aesthetically pleasing. The process was brutal - Monique and Wayne made me shift pixels for hours! PIXELS!! HOURS!!
It feels like the battle is won but the war is not over... damn you IE6! I should be doing victory laps right now, not worrying about how fixes and hacks. Where do we send Microsoft the invoice for the hours we spent fixing their crappy browser?
All in all, I'm pretty proud of our accomplishments. I hate it and love it every time we release features.
