Dawn’s first blush
A salmon-colored blush greeted Cassie and I as we made our way out on our now fast-becoming-routine 1.83 mile walk. We’re slowly getting routines, rituals and schedules back, and I’m making it a time-management task to order same into an easily manageable and flexible bundle that allows quick decisions: do we head to Marguerite and […]
Sunrise, sunrise…
The words are from a Nora Jones tune (it’s on my iPod Shuffle, the one I commute with daily) and it’s actually about sleeping in, rather than getting up early. But I wasn’t actually listening to the iPod as I came to this scene at the corner of Oak Street and Sand Hill Road […]
The return to Arastradero (and one more bit of normalcy)
This was a bit of a momentous morning: weeks of morning walks have given me enough walking strength that this morning we headed out to one of our favorite walking and jogging parks, Palo Alto’s Arastradero Preserve.
It was a beautiful morming: a bright blue sky, temperatures in the mid 40s and Linda, Cassie and I […]
The bedroom remodel
As if we had needed more stuff in our life, my cancer news came just as we were in the middle of remodelling the master bedroom and bath - add contractors and deadlines and decisions that could be expensive if you get them wrong - to the mix of hospitals, waiting rooms and […]
Dotcom garden in January’s light
Dotcom garden, as seen in this morning’s light, is dormant as befits a 30-degree January day. I’ve been keeping my eye on Sunset’s ‘This month in the garden’ feature, which advises this month to plant bareroot roses and tuck in the last bulbs. Not sure about roses: Linda’s dad’s last roses, a container plant, died […]
Rhythms, routines, remote access…
Cassie and I hopped up this morning, sent the lithe Linda speeding off on her jog, and then did our new routine, a 1.83 mile walk (passing some very pretty oaks silhouetted against a pre-dawn sky) before I settled in for an 8 AM Acrobat Connect/phone meeting with colleagues in Noida, India and Seattle, Washington. […]
A commuter’s path…
This morning, we decided to travel with our Nikon D50 and its new ‘Christmas’ 12-24mm lens, rather than the Lumix, our new, ‘normal’ commuter camera, for some reason, and it was the Nikon combo that snapped this pic.
Lately we’ve been walking from San Jose Diridon station to Adobe on the path that goes straight from […]
Cette fois avec photos
We brought home our SD card, and updated yesterday’s ‘Big Adventure‘ post with pix. Photos really do help a blog… IMHO, anyway…
World HQ, 2007
gulker.com’s World HQ is in pretty good shape, if I do say so myself (’before’ picture left, ‘after’ above). A major cruft removal campaign, the installation of a new Gigabit LAN, collapsing all of the LAN’s extant services (and the initiation of new ones) into 4 computers (G4 Mini, Intel Mini, single G5 tower, […]
Today’s big adventure
So, we realize our new life as a public transportation commuter will occasionally call on us to rise to new challenges. One challenge I’ve dealt with well up today, thanks to Adobe Connect web conferencing, a broadband connection (with a our new Gigabit LAN) and a revamped ‘World HQ’ (complete with a home edition of […]
