  • What's "baligu"?
    It's a nonsense word used in psychology experiments that follows English spelling rules. It doesn't mean anything, but it's pretty easy to remember and the domain was easy to get!

    Photos from the Bachelor trip to Olympic National Park are posted! I didn't get a chance to caption these yet, and they're only a third of the photos we took - so I might come back around and add more or caption. Hope you enjoy.

    I've posted today a fun album from my trip to the Middle East to visit my sister Elizabeth who was teaching there at the King's Academy in Jordan for a year.

    Working from the outside in, here's my most recent album, pics from a Rafting Trip on the Yuba Riber (North fork). It was a class IV rapids and a lot of fun. One highlight was jumping into the river off a ledge near the tail end of a rapid and floating down the river 50 yards on our backs.

    Although the city calls, sometimes Palo Alto is still suffice for a good time.

    Check out Graduation pics from both Yale and Hotchkiss graduations. I'm too lazy to caption these at the moment.

    A few of us made it out to Yoshi's, the Jazz club + sushi restaurant in Oakland. Yoshi's is always a good time - a band performed named The Bad Plus that covered pop music and ended with a great rendition of Black Sabbath Iron Man.

    Winter Beach Trip - name me a better place to live on Earth than California. Beaches and skiing in the winter and summer, and nearly everything in between. I feel fortunate everytime I look at photos like these.

    It's been a while... not a whole lot of "big event" photos recently - but I did attend YET ANOTHER Google Cooking offsite (what's really the point of learning how to cook at a Google offsite, since they give us free food anyways!?).

    Went into the Marina District in the city on Friday for my birthday. Some food, some drinks, some dancing - a great night.

Knowledge

I'm trying a small experiment by posting pages with information that might be useful to others that took me some amount of Google searching to uncover. If these get any sort of traffic I might expand this section. I'm also experimenting with different page names and anchor text to see if it affects Google ranking, thus the duplicate pages.
