Friday

Friday was spent running errands such as checking my mail over at Stanford and hanging out at the local Fry’s. Yesterday, during lunch with Greg and Jon, I was “mistaken” for a woman by these three women who sat down next to our table. Today, while standing in line at the Post Office, one of the postal workers said to me, “Excuse me, ma’am? Oh! I’m sorry, sir!” I guess that’s what I get for having long hair, no? Maybe it’s the way that I tie it in the back of my head. Oh well!

To the right is a funny picture that I took while at a stoplight along Central Expressway/Alma Street. I calculate directions frequently on the Internet, so it was especially humorous to see this guy holding his directions in his car. I wonder if there’s a higher case of accidents with people who are holding directions while driving.

At Fry’s, I ran into Jon Abilay, my former colleague at Palm. Our group moved to another building today, so they got the afternoon off. It was weird seeing him so soon after yesterday’s events!

On my way back from Palo Alto, I stopped by the offices of SoftBank Venture Capital in Mountain View to chat with some former colleagues of mine from the DoDots’ days. I met up with Bruce Boyd, George Kembel, and John Russell, along with the FileFish tag team of Aleksandra and Edwin.

Well, that’s it for today… a pretty relaxing Friday. I’m out.
