I practice IP law in Silicon Valley and have an unhealthy obsession with coding, photography, Apple, gadgets, artificial intelligence, and all things Internet.

More than anything, this space is an outlet for sharing and commenting on things I'm currently involved in, infatuated with, or annoyed by, and it just so happens that a lot of those things have to do with computers.

Top ten of 2003

January 6, 2004

Musically, the year started out rather slow, but things eventually picked up and I really feel that I came away with a lot of great records. If I had to pick a favorite album of 2003 it would probably be The Strokes’ Room on Fire.

The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell
The Postal Service - Give up
Zwan - Mary Star of the Sea
The Strokes - Room on Fire
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
The White Stripes - Elephant
Ryan Adams - Rock N Roll
Our Lady Peace - Live
The Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music

Unfortunately, I was not able to see as many movies this year as I would have liked. A few that probably would have ousted others in this list had I seen them are: Angels in America, Spellbound, Thirteen, 21 Grams, Capturing the Friedmans, 28 Days Later, and Bus 174.

Lost in Translation
American Splendor
Mystic River
Pirates of the Carribean
Seabiscuit
Finding Nemo
Bad Santa
Old School
Return of the King
Master and Commander
