Happy Birthday, Jon.
art walk
On Wednesday night Justin, Aaron and I took the red line subway from North Hollywood to meet Aaron and Martin downtown for the monthly art walk. When we arrived Aaron and Martin said they were too tired from all the walking they’d done at Siggraph and headed back home. It was too bad because they […]

A woman has apparently committed suicide where I stood less than two weeks ago admiring the rocks below.
siggraph
On Monday night I picked up my friend Aaron and his art school compatriot Martin from the North Hollywood bus stop. They were in town until Friday to attend Siggraph at the convention center. On Tuesday Aaron graced us with his cooking skills. On Wednesday I took a vacation day and attended Siggraph with them. […]

Today I introduced Cindy to Stoney Point. It was ironic because she knows a lot about indoor climbing but has never done it “in the wild” – which turned out to be an entirely different experience. Cindy also made her first trip to Vallarta today and went home with a lot of confectionary delights (and […]

Chinese class didn’t go so well last night. It probably had more to do with the fact that I didn’t really study than anything else. The expected comprehension level seemed to shoot way up as we were quizzed on multiple new words and phrases without being able to look in the book. At one point […]
adventure
I nearly forgot yesterday that I had to go to an Excel Advanced training course today. I left the house around 6:45, not knowing how long it would take to get to the LAX Holiday Inn. It took about 45 minutes and I arrived at the hotel a full 90 minutes before the start of […]
