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.

How many municipal employes does it take to change a light bulb? In Mountain View, CA, it apparently takes two.
This seems reasonable to me.

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.

SysAdmins, check with Tom.
My employer (Cisco) makes IPv6 available internally on a test basis. Once I configured the isatap hostname on my system, all I had to do to get my Ubuntu laptop on IPv6 was:
sudo apt-get install isatapd
I look forward to trying this on a few more systems:
sudo apt-get install isatapd && ping6 -c 1 www.ipv6.cisco.com && figlet -c 'I CAN HAZ IPv6!!'

No, I can not explain this work of brilliance spied upon a coworker's white board.

Maggie crawled in to bed and preferred to nap, rather than seeing what I might be up to. So, I tucked her in.

The automatic feeders don't open but once a day. When Maggie gets hungry, its time to wait, vigilantly . . .
