noise from a mozilla IT/Operations wrangler
CA Academy of Sciences, Living Roof This is far from my normal Mozilla related posts but worthwhile enough that I feel like sharing it. I took my two children to the California Academy of Sciences this weekend. I wasn’t sure what to expect but since it’s new (or newly opened) and I enjoy these types… Read more
On Insider Forum on PBS two weeks ago, Suzanne Shu mentioned Ambient Orb, a product “that people would keep in their house, and it would measure energy consumption in the home, so how much electricy you’re using.” Unfortunately it doens’t actually do that (sort of). I think she meant the PG&E Energy Orb which does,… Read more
I had the opportunity to skip out of work this afternoon to see Al Gore’s keynote at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. First time seeing a Nobel Laureate in person! Regardless of your political feelings, seeing Al Gore on stage was electifying. Funny too! Gore spoke about emerging green tech and specifically about CO2… Read more
“There’s the iPhone and then there’s everything else.” – Sean Alamares After weeks of trying to find an acceptable replacement to my Verizon Treo 700w, I’m throwing in the towel. iPhone, you win.

This is a rare non-Mozilla posting but worthy enough to share (IMO anyways). I’m a Mac toting, blue leaning, carpool-loving Prius driver and tend to average about 47.1 mpg on my commute from “outer” East Bay (Pleasanton/Dublin). However, the past week’s weather has been much warmer and I’ve been driving mostly barefoot. I was surprised… Read more
With prodding from co-workers I’ve shed the final vestiges of my Windows life. A couple months ago I switched my portable computing platform to a black MacBook that no one wanted (it seemed the perfect size to take with my on my trip to Amsterdam) and now I’ve replaced my desktop with a Mac Pro.… Read more
(This would have been posted earlier this week but I’ve had no end of problems trying to get iframes in WordPress-MU working.) I wrapped up my second century this year over in Lodi, CA this past Sunday doing the Delta Century. Total ride time came in at 6:29. Ride had a number of firsts for… Read more
While most of the country spent the weekend in Super Bowl mode, I spent this past weekend at the first annual Solvang Training Camp at Zaca Lake. It was actally closer to Los Olivos. Spent three days cycling with 60 miles on Saturday. Saturday’s highlight, if you may, was cycling up the the gates of… Read more
Left the house way early (still dark) to catch a bike friendly BART ride to Fremont. Rained from there until somewhere off Thorndale before Marshlands. Ugh.
