A couple of weeks ago, Rae and I visited Hakone Gardens, a 19th-century Japanese residential garden in Saratoga. I’ve always wondered what Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s Japanese-style home looks like in Woodside; I bet a part of it resembles Hakone Gardens! Visit if you are in the mood for a…

Today’s guest blogger for today is Heather Ford. I’m making use of her generous Creative Commons license from her post recapping the Paul Rice and Greg Steltenpohl seminar yesterday at the DVF offices. Thanks, Heather!

I won $40 last night at a Bay Area card room, playing at the 2-4 Texas Hold’em tables. I was actually up nearly $120 at the beginning, after winning with some monster hands (J8JJ8 and QQQ). Then, I went back and forth between $180 and $200, before my skill and…

Our 20-year old washing machine at the house has been leaking this brown sludge for who knows how long. We finally got it replaced this week with a new Frigidaire 3.1 Cu. Ft. 6-Cycle Super Plus Capacity Washer. The new washer reminds me of the Miele machines at Stanford. Front-loading,…

Heather held a party at her Oak Creek apartment near Stanford on Friday night. I met up with folks from the Fellowship and her friends from Stanford and Benetech. She prepared some delectable South African dishes to dine on, including this sweet pudding that sounded like Mordor Pudding! Amy had…

Yesterday afternoon, I went to Meyer Library to scan the film I had developed the previous day. Meyer is more of a study-hall these days as opposed to a library. They moved most of the books a few years back to Green Library. The scanning computers were QuickSilver PowerMacs running…

I drove up to San Francisco this morning to help photograph Somei Yoshino Taiko Ensemble during a rehearsal for an upcoming show. Afterwards, I met up with Njideka and Raphael at the WideRay headquarters, where they were meeting with Bill and Andrew (last seen at Stanford Stadium a few years…
