Molly made a favourable impression on the photographer from the Cupertino Courier on the first day of Kindergarten, because she’s made the news. I made the news on my first day of Kindergarten as well, but I think it was more along the lines of a police bulletin: be on the look out for this … Front Page News
Yesterday was Molly’s first day of Kindergarten at Collins Elementary here in Cupertino. She was super excited.
This post is a bit more than two and a half months overdue. After leaving Apple back in April of 2009, we moved back to Seattle. We were delighted to reunite with our friends, buy a house, and settle into a comfortable life over on Bainbridge Island. While I regretted leaving Apple, I felt as … Better Late than Never
From Salmon you take a two lane road east until you get to the Teton range. Oh, sure. The road changes names — going under the alias of ID-28 for about 120 miles, then swapping over to ID-33 to allay suspicion. But the fact is, you’re on a two lane road that pretty much goes … Summer Vacation Day 4

The trip was partly forced on us by the closure of her school for a week as the kids transition from Moon … Summer Vacation Day 1
I just got a call from a telemarketer (a recorded call, the most evil variety) and so I called AT&T to make certain they weren’t selling my phone number to telemarketing firms. After waiting a couple minutes on hold, I was asked to “verify my identity” by providing the last 4 digits of my Social … Another Example of Craptastic Service from AT&T
