Al Gore joins Kleiner Perkins
Al Gore will be a part-time Green tech partner at KPCB, according to the Merc and a bunch of other sources. I wonder how many other VCs have a Nobel laureate on board…
Grace bats her baby blues
Week-old granddaughter Grace is now batting her (literally) baby blues, and opening her eyes as often as not.
Proud papa John distributed this photo of the world’s cutest baby, the better to amuse grandparents and family friends. We don’t want to be accused of being mush-headed grandparents… but she really is cute… photo by Julie Getze…
Greetings from ORD
We’ve been in Hudson, Ohio for the past couple of days, where I’ve been attending a Board of Visitors meeting at my prep school, Western Reserve Academy. I’ve been on the board for going on 5 years, now, and missed last year’s meeting, thanks to events surrounding the discovery of my cancer. I’m sitting at […]
Off to Ohio
It’s currently 30 degrees in Hudson, Ohio where Linda and I are headed tomorrow. We’re hoping to do a little sub-freezing blogging from thereabouts….
33 years ago
A month and a few days shy of 33 years ago, one John Getze was born at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena. Mom Linda found these amusing things in his baby book: a telegram (think: really expensive email) and a photo snapped by the hospital.
Granddaughter Grace, of course, is the inspiration for this post: imagine that […]
More Grace and family pix
As promised, here are more Grace pix: with proud and excited grandmother Linda, and very proud papa John. John is coming off of 2 hours’ sleep (twice what poor Julie - who did all the work - got last night)
Linda is worried that she’s becoming a sappy grandma, because she thinks Grace is the […]
First photos of baby Grace
Mom Julie and baby daughter Grace seem to be doing very well after a grueling 20+ hours in labor. Julie was in amazing spirits considering she’d had an hour of sleep, and dad was doing well, too.
Grace’s vitals: 7lbs., 4 oz., 20 inches: arrived at 11:47 PM on November 4. We’re all so thrilled… […]
Our granddaughter surprises us
Grace Eloise Getze was born last night shortly before midnight, and some 3 weeks earlier than expected. Everybody’s doing fine, though mom and dad spent an exhausting 22 hours at the hospital… we’ll be headed over on a photo mission later this A.M….
Our favorite restaurant
Friends Mike and Cathy were kind enough to join us for dinner at The Village Pub in Woodside last night, which is our favorite local restaurant and I think Mike and Cathy’s, too. It occurred to me I’ve never taken a ’scene’ shot there,so I took the Leica M8 and a 21mm lens to try […]
Taking Leopard for a spin….
So, we’ve got Leopard up and running on our Intel Mini, and, so far, are liking many features, thusly:
Mail - I like the new Notes and To Do feature. To Do has taken over GTD chores from Ghost Action (which won’t run under Leopard) at least for the time being.
Preview - has finally brought the […]
