Bohlman-On Orbit. The name alone sounds daunting. I was dreading it last year when it was rained out, and I was dreading it last week. The climb certainly lived up to its reputation. Following a late night at my Stanford Class of 1997 10-Year Reunion party, I woke up on…

10 years have already gone by! Where’s the time going? Don’t have too much planned this weekend aside from the Class Party on Friday night. What else is everyone else doing?

For the second week, the Low-Key Hillclimb Series tackled King’s Mountain. In all of my years of cycling, I’ve only climbed King’s Mountain four times, and all of them were done this year. People typically have a favorite between Old La Honda and King’s, and it’s been clear over the…

Now that was much better. The Low-Key Hillclimbs are back for 2007! Once again, the series began with a return visit to the slopes of Montebello Road last Saturday. In last year’s ride, I suffered greatly, having went out too fast in the beginning with the misguided intent of wanting…

Grant had a tweet pointing to an article on Australian film critic, Paul Byrnes, who was recently awarded the Pascall Prize for Critic of the Year. What’s cool about his story is that he writes all of his reviews on an Apple Newton MessagePad. Earlier in his career, he suffered…

Continue reading →: Death on Easy Street
After a year of living in Palo Alto following graduation, I moved to Easy Street in Mountain View. I stayed there for four years before moving to Cupertino and eventually Santa Clara. I was forwarded this article about a gun death on Easy Street this past weekend.

After I came back from Burning Man, one of the most common questions I heard was, “How did your camera hold up to the dust?” My Canon EOS-1D Mark II held up quite nicely in the harsh conditions of Burning Man 2007. Following the trip, I analyzed my photos and…

Continue reading →: Sorry Display by the Chargers
That was the sorriest display by the Chargers since the 2003 season when they went 4-12. Unlike previous years, the Chargers looked unprepared and out-of-sync throughout the entire game. If this is an indication of how the rest of the season will play out, I’m scared. Let’s hope that the…
