So I’m moving to California to seek out new opportunities. This should be no surprise to anyone who’s known me, since I’ve rattled on about it incessantly in one form or another (not to mention basically driving/flying down every chance I get). I’ve wanted to live there my entire career since that’s where the action […]

I have a new kitty in the family, 2 months old. His shelter name is Shaun, but I’m not sure if I’m keeping that. (Update 9/17: I’m calling him Felix) He’s very vocal, spent all night meowing like murder was happening. He’s a little better today, but still gets very lonely. I laid in the […]

Last month I finally decided to re-join the modern age and get cable. I’ve been waiting for FiOS from Frontier ever since I moved in, and my apartment building was finally wired up for it. I was flabbergasted when they told me the install charge for TV+internet over FiOS was $500, but if I just […]

This weekend it was 86-88 F outside (and inside), perfectly clear and sunny. Absolutely beautiful day, I felt fantastic! Seriously, I haven’t felt that happy and blissful in a while. Clear, warm night too, could see the stars from my balcony. Today, it instantly turned .. October. Low hanging grey clouds, and everything is wet. […]

It’s awesome to sit on my balcony and be able to easily see the Big Dipper.

The rush of scale is often a potent and lethal addiction, for production engineering is a drug. I always thought the Dyson ball was a gimmicky thing, but it’s totally legit. It’s so much easier to maneuver than a big clunky vacuum. It’s also quieter than my clunker, but the cat still hates it. The […]

Holy shit the weather is finally WARM. We finally broke 70 F! I was at Alki Beach on Saturday afternoon and managed to properly sunburn my face. It was fantastic sitting on the sand, tons of people and cute girls wandering about. Today is the first time I’ve ever been able to go all day […]

The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the days are longer FINALLY, thank god. A couple of weekends ago it was ~60 F, clear and sunny. There were even girls in bikini playing volleyball on Alki Beach! (How 60 F is bikini weather is beyond me.) I’ve been so weather abused and tortured throughout […]

Some of my most favorite things: sparkling lemonade from Trader Joe’s, chicken coconut curry (extra hot) + garlic basil naan from Tandoori Fire. mmmm.

While in Redmond, I’ve discovered two delicious sources of food. One is the medium especial salsa and restaurant-style tortilla chips from Trader Joe’s. It’s a great mix of heat and salty, mmm. The other is the coconut curry from Tandoori Fire just down the street. I’ve been trying new Indian places lately and have re-discovered […]
