Changdeokgung Palace (창덕궁) is one of the “Five Grand Palaces” built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897) in Seoul, South Korea. Meaning “Prospering Virtue Palace” and also referred to as the “East Palace”, Changdeokgung was initially established in 1395 and was built, burned to the ground, and rebuilt on several occasions. Changdeokgung was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.

After a couple of years off, I had the opportunity to return to the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where the worlds largest electronics brands (well, most of them) put on a dazzling display of the latest and greatest in incremental technology updates.

The container cranes at the Port of Oakland are part legend, part myth, primarily centered around an urban myth that they insipred the AT-ATs in “The Empire Strikes Back”. Star Wars creator and Local Bay Area resident George Lucas has denied this myth on many occassions.
