I have a set of statues of Hindu gods at work – I started collecting them when I worked at Classmates.com, and one day the women on the team (the team was more than half female) came into my office and wanted to know why there were no goddesses. Oops. Not wanting an HR scene, […]

Pictures from Hollywood
A few pictures from Hollywood yesterday along with a picture of a really good food truck I tried on Wednesday. We first stopped at Wacko, a great fun store and gallery. We also had a great meal at Il Capriccio on Vermont; Aviva’s pasta was clearly handmade, mine perhaps less clearly. Aviva had a squid […]
