TonyJiang.com Year 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

20 freaking years! Two whole decades! My little collection of websites is still alive. It’s important to celebrate the occasion and accomplishment, even if small. Nowadays, I think this blog is my most visited website. I don’t think Google pushes much traffic to my crabbing guide anymore. Google ads certainly don’t make enough money to pay for the webhosting anymore, but the hosting costs are less than a meal at a nice restaurant, so I’ll keep these around as along as I’m around.

Onwards to Year 21!

The Sum of Summer

It’s September. There’s the crispness in the air and more rainy days on the forecast, so it means autumn is on its way. As such, it’s time again to post highlights of my adventures and shenanigans over the last 3 months or so. Pretty much just stayed in the PNW and did hiking and outdoors stuff. Here are the photos and videos.

Snow Lake with some mesmerizing color. One of Seattle area’s most popular hikes. Been there during Covid times but continued to Gem Lake this time.

A Sprightly Spring

With the weather getting warmer and the sun setting later, it’s time again to post about my shenanigans and adventures over the past 3 months. As with the past few springs, I finished off what was left of the ski season, and started clamming and hiking. Here are the photo and video highlights.

New Monitor: ViewSonic VS3225-2K

I just got a brand new 32 inch LCD monitor… again. I didn’t expect having to get a new monitor, but the Pixio monitor (that I won from a sweepstakes) died suddenly after only 1.5 years of use. Since I’m used to having two big monitors now, I just went online to look for the least expensive 32 inch, 1440p (QHD) monitor with a recognizable brand. I ended up buying ViewSonic VS3225-2K, and here are my first impressions.

A Whimsical Winter

It’s March and technically it’s (or is) close to spring, so time again to summarize my adventures and shenanigans over the past season. My big trip during the winter was to China, but I also had a work trip and did a little bit of skiing. Here are the photo and video highlights, whimsical or not.

Spent the last morning of 2025 skiing Cypress Mountain. Not the biggest ski hill but the views on a bluebird day are absolutely phenomenal. The mountains, the sea and the cities below.

My big trip over the winter season was to China. I haven’t been back in China since 2018, so it has certainly been a while. The trip was mostly to see relatives and spend Chinese New Year there with family, but managed to do a few touristy things here and there. Here are the highlights of my trip.

Evening stroll on the Bund (外滩) in Shanghai, with the modern skyline in Pudong on the east side of the Huangpu River, and the golden-lit European style buildings on the west side.

Falling into Fall

It’s been 3 months since my last seasonal update post, so time again to post some highlights of what I’ve been up to. No big trips in the autumn this year. Just stayed local in the PNW, finished up the hiking season, and then had to sit out and recover from a surgery. Anyways, here are the photos and videos.

My only fall foliage hike of the season is to Eightmile Lake near Leavenworth. Not a lot of foliage near the actual lake which is still recovering from wildfires from years ago.

Somethings About Summer

As we are getting past the Labor Day long weekend and into September, it’s time again to post about the all the shenanigans I’ve been up to for the past season. My adventures over summer of 2025 consisted of a work trip to New York City, and lots of hiking in the Pacific Northwest. Here are the highlights:

Back in the Big Apple. The office view in Manhattan is pretty nice.

TonyJiang.com Year 19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That time of the year again to celebrate (by myself) the anniversary of this little collection of websites! My websites have been online for 19 years. Now they are old enough to purchase alcohol in most US states. The only notable update this year is adding some background images to this blog by using Gen AI which is all the rage these days. Google Adsense basically pays nothing these days, even after I updated the ad script code. Many people have ad blockers, so online display ads are a bit outdated.

Anyways, onwards to Year 20!!!

It’s starting to feel like summer in the PNW, which means it’s about time for a highlights post of the adventures and shenanigans I’ve been up to in the past season. No big trips during spring, but as usual, I ended the ski season and started hiking and foraging for shellfish. Here are the photo and video highlights.
