My commute was nice this morning, until . . .
Near the end of the bicycle version of my commute I ride along a creek. I could tell from Stephen’s Creek that the water was high, so when I rode the ramp down to this underpass I wasn’t surprised. I took my bicycle around this water, through especially sticky mud that threatened to suck off my shoes, and which globbed on to my bicycle, smeared on my pants.

In the past few weeks I have been pimping out my cubicle.
The newest feature is I moved the bookshelf from shoulder height at the back of the cube to waist height on the outside of the cube, which I can do, since I sit at the end of a row. The new low shelf space is where I share coffee and where snacks can be distributed. This also increases my “visibility” and opens up opportunities to chat with coworkers. Sort of the opposite of when I worked remote last year.
In the middle of the shelf is Rick Moranis from the Ghostbusters, a little homage to one of my favorite movie dialogues. Above, is my small collection of Hello Kitty plush dolls, each a “rescue” found at thrift stores or even on the streets of the Sunset district in San Francisco. To the left are photos of my Cisco-IronPort lego logo integration effort and a cool visualization of my LinkedIn network.
Center, you can see the back of my work laptop, a Lenovo W510 with an SSD drive. (I love SSD drives.) Some low-light flowers, a tall desk chair I nicked from an abandoned cubicle, and to the right, my Lego Cisco logo, which I had disassembled for repairs and which I think I’ll keep in San Jose for now.

Power lines branch from the Steven's Creek Trail at Sleeper Ave.
Not quite a saga of the prairie, no . . . just the power lines doing their own thing, branching out across the highway, as we little people peddle beneath.

The southern terminus of the Steven's Creek Trail.
I visited a friend at El Camino Hospital before heading to work. From the hospital, I took Sleeper Ave to the Steven’s Creek Trail, which actually ends at Sleeper. They’ll be extending the trail over the next few years with a bridge over 85.

Taken from the roof of a friend's fancy condo at a party in June, 2010.
At the party we explained that we would soon be moving back to California, but could end up back on the East Coast in a few years. The host said he’d put us down as “Bi-Coastal Curious.”

A tall sunflower smiles in front of my father's house under a beautiful sky in Pueblo, CO this past August.

Gassing up the moving truck and Mei's car.
Does this look expensive to you?

So, I recently replaced my home router with an Actiontec GT724WGR. But I neglected to tell the TiVo, so it quietly started to lose programming data. Then I tried getting the TiVo to talk to the new router, but it wasn’t connecting. Long story short, it appears the TiVo is not supporting WPA2, so on the Actiontec, I went in to Wireless Setup > Advanced Settings and kicked it down to WPA and now the TiVo is updating its information successfully.
But it took some doing to figure that out. It would be helpful if the TiVo N02 error page touched upon the limitations of TiVo’s support for wireless security.

A puny rental truck towing a Saturn sits next to one of the big boys.
I like the matching lines and colors here, as if the rental truck is the semi’s kid or something.
