A clear and cold morning
Got down to 34 degrees hereabouts early this AM, so Cassie and I took a break, especially since I had an 8:00 AM meeting, which I attended via Adobe Acrobat Connect: performance on the new LAN was very nice, as was the audio on a new Panasonic conference phone. The browser updated graphics and text […]
The ‘duality’ of gulker.com
Friend David Perry’s most recent amusing missive makes a point graphically and eloquently that I have heard from others - friends, family, members of our faith community - and that is that gulker.com, has, well, this peculiar nature. Call it a ‘duality.’
We have written about a wonderful Christmas trip to Santa Fe and Taos, about […]
Back up at the crack of dawn
Cassie and I were up before the sun along with the female DJ (aka Dawn Jogger), now recovered enough to head out on her short (3+ mile) jog, while Cassie and I did our 1.8 mile patrol. Ms. Hubbard Gulker informs me the sun will rise no sooner than 7:25 on any morning this […]
Back to work!
Adobe’s San Jose towers may never have looked better than they did this morning as I made my way from Diridon Station (after an amazing 26-minute ride on a Caltrain ‘baby bullet’ - quicker than driving by an easy 15 minutes) across the Guadalupe River and through McEnery Park to Adobe’s ‘back door.’ This has […]
A winter morning’s sky
A waning moon and a bare branch made an interesting composition as Cassie and I set out on the morning ‘constitutional.’ My head is full of all the things I need to organize to get re-insert productively in the working world: just as with the cancer treatment and other recent travails, I think best policy […]
We’re ready….
Back to work tomorrow! I am so ready to join my colleagues at 321 Park Avenue in San Jose…! For them, it’s another Monday: for me, it’s oh boy, woo hoo, let’s get going: I’m sure I’ll be getting lots of raised eyebrows and knowing smiles until I slip back into the routine, but, I’m […]
The ‘reporter’s lens’
While walking a 3.6 mile loop with Linda, Cassie and friend Chris Cullen Wallace this AM, we came upon this scene, nicely framed by the 420 mm (!) end of the new Lumix DMC FZ50’s DC Vario-Elmarit. (I wish the camera had a shorter name). Pally firemen often drill at a field near Stanford Corral, […]
Pleasant walk under morning high clouds
Cassie and I started what promises to be a reasonably relaxed Saturday strolling under this pretty sky before making a breakfast of coddled eggs on wonderful slices of home-made vegan bread, a gift from Trinity’s Mana Ministry (a more wonderful group of chefs is hard to imagine). Linda, up early again, ran the Dish […]
Electrons and bits
The new LAN was ‘officially’ installed tonight, complete with new, more secure firewall and WiFi, a guest ’sandbox’ LAN and a few more new features. In testing, it has been, so far, quite stable and fast, though more work needs to be done (including bringing the half-terabyte array back online).
However, I note that, while we’ve […]
A full moon, a full schedule
A nearly-full moon greeted Cassie and I as we set out this morning. Linda, rising even earlier, caught our satellite in a darker sky. We both had full days and decided to just get out of bed and going this AM.
In a dry run for work, Linda dropped me at the Caltrain depot in Menlo […]
