Spent Saturday at the 2009 Monterey Historic Automobile Races at Laguna Seca in Monterey. This year's featured marque was Porsche! and I have never seen so many Porsches in one place, ever. I took a bunch of pictures, and they're in the gallery. I also checked out the first annual Concours D'Lemons and got some pictures of that as well.

In other news, Andrea and I are getting married in less than 6 weeks! We have most of the big stuff sorted, but it's all the little stuff now that's making us crazy. Luckily not too crazy. All I know is that it's going to be a great party.

Hi, not dead, just haven't updated this in, like forever. Was in Chicago visiting the future in-laws this past weekend, had a great time. Wedding planning is going well, still working. I update my Facebook a lot more than this, sorry.

Crazy car week! Sold the Honda on Monday, sold the Miata today, and the WRX is gone tomorrow. But, have no fear, we're picking up a 2009 Subaru Forester Limited tonight!

April 13, 2009

We had a perfect weekend this week. On Saturday, we drove up to the Napa Valley in the Miata, it was beautiful and the weather was perfect. We went champagne tasting for the wedding at Mumm on Saturday and had a delicious dinner at Andrea's parents.

On Sunday, my mom came up and we went to Easter Services at Grace Episcopal in St. Helena (where we're getting married) had a delicious Easter Brunch and drank more champagne. We also checked out the reception site and checked out Solage again.

And, this coming weekend, we'll be in Montana!

Happy New Year!

We're back from Montana and Oregon where we had an epic time, playing in the snow, hanging out with friends and getting the car fixed (ugh.) But seriously, it was a great trip, with lots of fun stuff.

Now, we're back in The Bay Area, and I start my new job Monday!

I'm back in The Bay Area!

Obviously I've been terribly remiss about updating this website, as it's been almost 2 months since a news update. So, what has been going on?

So yeah, a few things have happened. I'll try to keep this more current from now on.

October 14, 2008

I'm back from Portland!

As usual, it was a great trip, I saw Donna and Colin and the kids, ate agreat food and drank great coffee, beer and wine. I also got to have dinner with my friend Paul, who I've known online for years, but never met in person. We had a great time.

And, of course, there's pictures.

Whoops, it's been a month since I updated this thing, not because I haven't been doing anything, but because I've been doing too much.

I spent a few weekends in San Francisco, including my birthday weekend (I'm 39! eek!) where I went to the Napa Valley, saw The Dandy Warhols at the Warfield, ate great food, went to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and had an awesome time.

Everything is great.

I just spent the past weekend with a bunch of my friends on The California Channel Islands (Santa Cruz Island, to be exact.) We spent 3 days camping, kayaking, hiking and having a whole lot of fun. We got to kayak into sea caves, learn about the local Chumash Indians, and learn the history of these amazing islands (and National Park.)

A big thanks to Joey for organizing the trip, and to our guide, Tom from Southwind Kayak Center, for showing us a great time.

And, of course, there's pictures.

August 3, 2008

I just got back from 4 days in Montréal where I visited my mom for her birthday!

While I was there, we...

It was a great visit, and it was extra special to see my mom on her actual birthday.

July 25, 2008

There is so much good music out right now that it's driving me crazy!

There are phenomenal new albums out right now from My Morning Jacket, Beck, Spiritualized, Death Cab For Cutie and Cut Copy. Plus, I have discovered a bunch of great bands like MGMT, M83, Head Like a Kite, The Helio Sequence and Vampire Weekend. Not to mention new albums by The Dandy Warhols and Okkervil River, coming out in the next few months.

Anyone who tells you that there is no good music out these days isn't listening.

And, I'm going to Montréal next week! My mom has been living in Québec this summer, so, I'm going up there to see her for her birthday, and to see one of my favorite cities again, I can't wait!

July 6, 2008

I just got back from an amazing weekend up in the Eastern Sierra and Mono lake with Dad, Joan, Branden, Ian, Reiko and Aila. We camped on Lee Vining Creek, took a canoe trip on Mono Lake, hiked on Tioga Pass and in Lundy Canyon. We also ate amazing food, saw amazing beauty and had a great time.

And, of course, I took pictures.

June 19, 2008

I'm heading up to The Bay Area this weekend to see Death Cab For Cutie at The Greek Theater in Berkeley. This will be my fifth time seeing them, and The Greek Theater is one of my all-time favorite venues, it also happens to be where my high school graduation was!

And, the new Death Cab album "Narrow Stairs" is really good, you should pick it up.

Also, if I'm lucky, maybe I'll get to see the crazy tree people! My home town never fails to entertain.

Slimbox fully integrated into the gallery and the motor section.

June 10, 2008

I don't normally use off-the-shelf code on this site, as I like to write stuff from scratch. But, Slimbox is simply a phenomenal gallery script that was too good not to use! You can see it in action in all the latest photo galleries, and, I plan on rolling it out on the older galleries in the next week or so.

I've also discovered a ton of new music, like Walter Meego, M83, MGMT, Beirut and more. You can check it all out in the music section.

June 1, 2008

I'm back from Oregon & Washington.... Bleh

But, the weather in LA is absolutely perfect... YAY!

May 29, 2008

I'm in Portland right now, and, it's awesome! It may be gray and raining, but, I've been eating great food, hanging out in a beautiful city and drinking strong coffee. Before this, I was in Seattle, where I went to Bainbridge Island and saw my oldest friend Robert's mom, who lives there now, had more great food, and took in amazing scenery. And, before that, I was at the Sasquatch Festival where I saw incredible performances by The Flaming Lips, The Cure, Okkervil River and more!

It's been a great trip, going home is going to be difficult.
