Free lunches

We worked through lunch reviewing architecture materials my team have been creating; we’re taking on a bunch of new responsibilities and this is the best way I know to learn enough to start taking responsibility – start at the top and bottom and work to the middle. So we brough in lunch, from a local […]

Chakra Restaurant

Yesterday we ran errands, purchasing a new iPod for me (I could have done with a black and white screen and a better scroll wheel, but having 120Gb is a huge upgrade given my old, dead iPod as a 20Gb model – hey, I use it for music, I put photos on my phone; I […]

Pictures from Palm Desert

We drove out to Palm Desert to visit Aviva’s mom and her boyfriend Dave.  They’re snowbirds – they spend the winter in Palm Desert and the summer outside Detroit. We walked on El Paseo on Thursday (lots of closed stores, not a good sign for the economy), and walked around Palm Springs on Saturday (the […]

Pictures from Renton, WA and Venice, CA

I was in Renton, WA on a business trip, visiting the main office of Classmates.com (I manage a satellite office in Woodland Hills, CA).  It rains a lot there, and while the weather was clearing, we had a rainbow. Saturday (yesterday) we went to Venice to check it out again; we both really like the […]

Freedom or fundamentalism?

Interesting article in today’s New York Times, “For South, a Waning Hold on National Politics.” The Republican Party has become a mouthpiece for Christian fundamentalists that want to force everyone to live their life just like they do.  How is this any different than Muslim fundamentalists that want everyone to live their life like they […]
