Japan Earthquake and Tsunami

Saturday, 19 March, 2011

Ever since my wife got her masters in Geotechnical Engineering at Berkeley in the late 1990s I’ve been pretty fascinated with the science behind earthquakes, liquifaction zones and how all of that effects the place that I call home, the San Francisco Bay Area. I used to read her text books for pleasure reading and [...]

Project Mohawk

Wednesday, 17 November, 2010

All day Sunday I tried to get Ramsey and Ollie a hair appointment with our local spot of preference and couldn’t get in. The boys desperately needed haircuts so I asked them if they wanted mohawks and the response was both instantaneous and emphatic “YES!”. It’s important to note that Dona was out of town [...]

Outer Banks 2010

Tuesday, 14 September, 2010

Excellent vacation back at my other *home*, the Outer Bank of North Carolina.

Tool

Tuesday, 13 July, 2010

Never dissappointed with a Tool show. I think this was my 5th or 6th time seeing them. The sound was better than the previous civic center show 2 years ago. It’s worth the ticket price just to see Danny play drums for 2 hours. For a solid write up about the show and the set [...]
