I fly back to Sacramento on Tuesday and we didn’t have much planned for today. I needed to do some shopping for gifts and my girlfriend Chris and I went to see the film Crazy Rich Asians. We really liked it. It is funny and sweet and well made. It shows extraordinary amounts of wealth … Read more
I finished up WordCamp today. There were some more really good talks. One in particular stood out for the quality of the presentation. Tracy Apps’ talk on User Experience was incredibly well done. She was clear and informative and didn’t feel at all rehearsed. Her delivery was very natural and smooth and engaging. And yet … Read more

I didn’t take a walk today because the air was still bad and I realize I need to take days off from time to time. I went to the farmers market and tomatoes are finally ripe enough for me to buy and they were good. Overall it was just a relaxing day at home. We … Read more
The air is pretty smoky today as it was last weekend. There is more smoke drifting from fires in Western Canada. I took a shorter walk and probably should have stayed indoors. I’ll probably skip the walk tomorrow. Today my girlfriend Chris and I went over to our friend Cathy’s house to help with some … Read more
