I’ve got a story about a bridge to share. The bridge isn’t as impressive as the huge suspension bridge I raced over, or even the bridge I set out to find in Omaha, but a bridge is a bridge. For an infrastructure nerd like me, every bridge is worth a visit.

How was your Christmas? Mine was lovely. I spent a week in Marin County, just north of San Francisco, with my family. We played poker a couple nights (I won $40), went on family outings, made big dinners together (I was in charge of vegetables), and… I met a bear!

That pic was taken on a morning walk with JJ and my aunt Annie, who took the photo. We may or may not have been trespassing on Read the rest of this entry »

Two thoughts about that video: Read the rest of this entry »

The tires and wheels were stolen off my car last week, while it was parked in my parking spot, in my own building. Good times!
We have security cameras, so I’ve seen the thieves in action: they Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve wore a tuxedo twice in the past six weeks – a new record, considering I’ve worn a tux no more than five times in my entire life. This one had a velvet jacket!
I was a groomsman at my friend Sean’s wedding over the weekend, and those are Read the rest of this entry »
