Nice deserted road leads to a selfie
Did I hear something
I definitely saw something
Oh God it is over there and it is coming fast

This is why rain is so important
Gone running
Here’s what the day looked like
And here is the route
Gone biking
After a wonderful meal – a bike ride was in order. A bike ride I hadn’t gone in years …
A very happy day
Began with the turkey trot with Sirma:
That ended with us smiling with our medals:
Followed up with some football in the back yard
And on television:
And concluded with a great meal headlined with turkey
many side dishes
And great friends
A kids table
And concluded with dessert
And finished with a 1999 bottle of Canava Roussos Vinsanto
A wonderful day of fun and joy with much to be thankful for ….
While mom is a CTO
Mom is hard at the work in the ultra competitive MOOC space, so we go have fun.
First some fishes at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Then we play with our friends near the tide pool in the aquarium. Every time the water flooded we screamed like happy children and stared at the water moving around …
And finally some drawing before we eat at the pub.
Hamburger and fries … The food of champions!
The Boys are Keeping It Real
The Women are out having fun, and the boys are keeping it real – playing quietly and without making a mess…
Right Kipling:
And you too Nicholas, you’re keeping it nice and neat…
Sure Dad … Keeping it nice and neat like your desk…
Yup, we are keeping it nice and neat!
Makeover from Technology Conscious Prick
Here’s what I looked like with an Android:
Scruffy beard, long hair, generally disheveled appearance – all showing how I value function over form.
My motto was: It’s not how you look, it’s what you do. Always trade off doing more even if it means you look worse doing it.
Then I buy an iPhone, and …
I have a new haircut, beard is tastefully trimmed and groomed, and I have the air of sophistication of someone who understands the importance of form tied to function.
My new motto: It’s not just about what you do, but how you look doing it. Never trade off doing more if it means you look ugly doing it.
My first badge as an intern at SGI back in 1995
This is a picture of my first badge at SGI as an intern.
The period 1992-1996 was a period before digital cameras. And there is a very small number of pictures of myself from that period. I think this may be like the 5th or 6th picture I have ever found.
Looking at the picture what I find interesting:
1) I still have the glasses. This is proof that I have owned those glasses for at least 19 years. My intuition is that I have owned them for longer, but I am uncertain. They are these Titanium glasses that have proven to be indistructible.
2) I don’t have the hair. I mean I don’t have that hair!
3) I looked (look?) like such a dorky geek.
Getting hurt is okay
