This I Believe - What is the Value of a Human Life?
I always enjoy listening to the This I Believe podcasts. Today’s was an especially thought provoking episode. In it, Washington attorney Kenneth Feinberg talks about his job past and present of putting a value on a human life.

Watsonville Fly-in and Air show
I went to the Watsonville Fly-in and Air show this past Saturday and had a great time. I wasn’t really dressed for the weather though.

This is the first time that... [read more]

What to do with my Summer?
I picked up the local Silicon Valley entertainment/weekend newspaper to see what all goes on around here on the weekends. I thought it would be nice to maybe go out and here some live music. While browsing the pages, I came across a small ad with a biplane to catch my attention. This weekend (Memorial Day weekend) there is an airshow! With my huge infatuation with planes, I don’t remember ever really going to an... [read more]

As you might know, I was in January boards for Information Warfare, but was non-select. For the past month and a half I have been living the good life out in Silicon Valley working for Apple Corp. When I was first offered this job, it was not long after I found out I was non-select, and I... [read more]
