Model Reality

Dinner with Todd (a former coworker) in downtown PA. This followed my
first visit to the dev floor at Facebook.

I visited Westgate doe the first time today. It was surprisingly great
for a mall. I met an Israeli girl hawking Dead Sea skin care products
and had Bear Papa creampuffs.

I spent Thanksgiving with some neat folks up at Convict Lake. I threw up some pictures.

These are the first pictures I’ve posted with my new camera, a Panasonic DMC-TZ1. I’m really happy with the lens quality (it’s Leica glass) and the wide-angle shots are beautiful. Things get a little weird in low-light/high-ISO, but such is life.

I had Sushi with Betsy and my dad before picking up Ben from the airport. (We three were on our way to Burning Man the next day). Always a pleasure to see someone that was such a huge part of my life for so long.

An amazing panorama of the 2006 burning of the man. I’m standing on the right side, just about underneath the giant flower.

I’m back from my fourth immolation of the effigy and back to the grind at unamed company.

I turned 30 on Aug. 30 (my golden birthday!), out in the desert. I’m not how I feel about passing that milestone.

I’m still recovering from Burning Man; you don’t really realize how much it effects you until you leave. I think that I have a high tolerance for surreality, but once that stimulus is removed you end up feeling very strange in your mundanity, not unlike the feeling of floating after someone’s been sitting on your shoulders.
