    Po’k and Tom came by the house last week to knock out some scenes for his upcoming film, Pupil. In the drizzle, Po’k, Randy, and I filmed Tom exiting the house and driving away. It’s always fun to see the creative process in progress at Clubertino. We’ve had parties, documentary…

    Catching up on events the past few weeks… on the 5th, Rae, Levi, Vanessa, May, and Salim headed out to Hanamaru in Sunnyvale to celebrate Salim’s birthday with sushi. I don’t understand why people have an aversion to eating a nice nigiri or sashimi. Sushi is nice and yummy! Maybe…

    A couple of weeks ago, I went to an IDEO Unfocus Group in the City. Most of the people who attended the session were from the City and were all dressed rather city-like. Rae has been saying that a few of my new outfits resemble hip city-clothes, and she’s right!…

    It’s hard to keep track of where Eric these days. One minute, he’s swimming with Great White Sharks off the coast of San Diego and the next minute he’s travelling with Vienna Teng in Kentucky. His return to the Bay Area is heralded by a cell phone call with the…

    I was supposed to cycle with Stuart and Amy around 1:30 pm, but they were running a little late leaving the office. As a result, I rode the few miles to the downtown area in Monterey. When the aquarium came within view, I said to myself, “Wait a second! That’s…

    This weekend, I attended an offsite for the Reuters Digital Vision Program at the Asilomar conference grounds in Monterey. I have known about Asilomar for several years now, but I never knew that it was run by the State of California. For some reason, I had always thought of the…
