This weekend I was pleased to have been invited with a few other people to go spend a night at the Manastash Ridge Observatory in eastern Washington. It’s about a 120 mile drive away from my house, and we headed out from the Seattle area around 11am on Saturday. After arriving, we were treated to…

Had to run to San Francisco for a one-day work trip this week. Luckily, my work wrapped up a bit early and I was able to go act like a tourist for a bit. Took a drive up to the Golden Gate Bridge, drove and hiked around the Marin Headlands, and had dinner with some…

Random cool new Web 2.0 thing
So I was reading Techcrunch today, and it seems that Farecast has gone into a public beta period. While beta software has been around for years and years, tagging a new product beta seems to be all the rage among Web 2.0 sites (Yes, Windows Live and Google, I'm looking at you guys). Anyway, Farecast…
