Fireworks Over San Francisco

Happy 4th of July Everyone! Jason and I took the Caltrain up to San Francisco to see the fireworks tonight. (See photo 😉 ) It was a fun trip, though in all honesty, the fireworks were not significantly better than what we had at home in Green Bay or Madison. I haven’t actually seen Madison’s first hand, but I hear they are more like Seattle’s last summer: pretty sweet and choreographed to music. I wish I could have been there to see yours, Mason… Anyhow, it was a fun afternoon away from work, and for a pleasant change, the Caltrain and Muni were working pretty slick, and we’re getting home as slickly as we got here. I like!

Walmart. $80. I thought I would be titling this post “Sweet New Ride”… But then I actually rode it. It’s going to be a long 7 weeks if I cant find some way to fix or exchange it…

“Ladies and gentlemen, at this time we are told there is an accident on the train ahead of us. There has been a collision with a car. We are instructed to hold here and await further direction. At this time we do not know how long the delay will be.”

Almost as cool as the kids with new MacBook Pros

I reformatted my Mac last night. All I have installed since then is Starcraft, Adium, and Firefox, in that order. Perhaps tonight I shall search for an email client. Does anyone know of any good themes for Thunderbird? I was kindof getting tired of the default theme right before I wiped this thing…

So anyway, I haven’t posted on here in quite some time. In the meantime, here’s what I have done:

  • Work at NVIDIA
  • Hang out with Jeni & Jason
  • Take a trip to San Diego & Tijuana, Mexico
  • Work some more

And that’s pretty much it. Nothing too glamorous, I am afraid…

Can you tell I don’t have much more exciting things to do whhle traveling? Grandma remembers flying a plane with “a red tail” to Japan, all those years ago.
Last leg.

No Way.

They have automatic soap dispensers in the bathrooms. Wow. Does that even solve a sanitation problem?

Congratulations Tracy and Sean!

Well, my whirlwind weekend trip to Minocqua for Tracy and Sean’s wedding is coming to a close. I’m back in Austin Straubel airport to fly back to San Francisco via Minneapolis. (I know I talk about planes and airports a lot; I apologize. I just think they’re awesome for some reason.) So anyway, Tracy and Sean had a really nice wedding, and it was great to catch up with my relatives again, too. The picture here is the pretty cool party favor they gave out: Custom printed M&Ms that had “Tracy and Sean” and “Thanks 2007” printed on the whhte ones. Well, we’re starting to board…
