ZZ loving the Icehouse Lake morning sun.

We spent Memorial Day weekend on our first camping trip together. She did great, and clearly loves the woods.

Stayed at the Omni. I still have no idea which direction is which in this darn town, so I can't say which way my window was facing.

I found out why though! Not because I am a moron. It turns out the streets don't run N/S and E/W the run NW/SE, etc. WTF?

I put up a little set of some shots from this trip on Flickr.

Can you say unreinforced masonry? If this was in the Bay Area, it would be 1906 all over again.

I was in Montreal for the CHI2006 conference. It was good fun. Took a bunch of photos, here is a set.

Big Sur

We took our new Eurovan ("Rollie", a 2002 Weekender) to Big Sur for our inaugural car camping expedition this past weekend. It was a blast. The dogs loved it, even though we had a bit of challenge in finding space for the two of them to sleep (we ended up w/ Marbs sleeping on the bed with us, the spoiled brat!)


Some crazy building in Big Sur

It was so great to be out on the road again, this time knowing that we could make it both directions!!
