This page features every post I write, and is dedicated to Andrew Ho.
“We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature’s inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide . . . I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”
Maggie peers out from the Cat Ottoman.
Yes, we have a “Cat Ottoman.”
Trying to get your week going? Can’t quite find your groove? Try and spend 20 minutes with Ken Robinson.
Lots of good humor to deliver a simple and important message. We face an important problem in that we designed our primary education systems to build conformist factory workers. As we rocket ever faster in to our collective future, what we’ll need more than ever is the capacity to formulate creative solutions to our new problems. Kids start out creative, then we educate the creativity out of them. We need to do what we can to help our kids grow with access to the various disciplines which move them, so that they can realize their potential as 21st century human beings.
I bet that bear gets hungry some times. But since he moved to Palo Alto he's a big sushi fan, so this lady will be okay.

Sometimes, the tail end of the newer trains look to me like a tugboat.
You don't see a bike tire do that very often.
For some time I had noticed and been avoiding the weird bulge in my rear bicycle tire. Finally it gave way on my commute. The threads inside the tire appear to have been separating, and I guess I hit something sharp at a weak spot.
I put on my spare tube and made it home. I have since replaced this tire with a knobby road tire, paired with a puncture-resistant inner tube and a puncture-resistant liner. If I never have to change a bicycle tire again it will be too soon!
Mei's folks were in town for Father's Day, so she made him an Apple Pie, and a pork roast, and other delicious things for dinner.
Maggie hops up on the porch railing, to get a better view of the bird feeder.
This amusing slide hopefully doesn't reveal any proprietary mojo, other than that some parts of Cisco may or may not possess a sense of humor.
That is Cisco CEO John Chambers as Uncle Sam, in case you are wondering.
Eat them up! Cheap!
Sometimes I like to wander around in 99 Ranch and have my mind blown.
