Yosemite
11 September 2006
I’ve been working through my photo backlog and have got to our weekend camping and walking in Yosemite back in June. I think Glen, in particular, has very fond memories of climbing the 750 metres to the top of Yosemite Falls.
Because of the shear scale of the scenery, a lot of the detail is lost in the small photos :(
Lake Shasta
10 September 2006
I’ve finally uploaded the photos from July’s house boating trip.
A bunch of us spent 4 nights on a house boat; riding seadoos, wake boarding, driving speed boats, and having general water related fun.
Diet
27 August 2006
During the week I tend to eat 3 (or 2.5) good and healthy meals a day at work, this means I generally have little or no food in my apartment. At weekends I prefer to eat out with friends, but when no one’s around then my eating habits kind of suck. My diet this weekend, for example, has constituted of:
- Cheese-bread roll
- 4 taquitos
- Green salad
- Half a plate of very oily chips at Hollister airport cafe
- 1/4 pack of horrid beef jerky
- Bowl of jelly worms at the office while finishing a prototype
- Then to drink: several pints of water, 2 cans of diet-cherry-vanilla Dr. Pepper, 2 pints of Stella, 1 Irish Car Bomb, 2 Redbull and Southern Comfort, shot of Jagermeister, 3 Corona, more water, 1 litre of diet coke, a can of rockstar, a bottle of fruit juice, 4 probiotic thingamies, water, Diet Root Beer
I stopped in at the office on the way back from sky diving to finish up some work, so I’m now eating left over salad and pizza from some random event earlier in the day. When I’ve finished here I have to drive back to SF, only to come back in less than 12 hours.
Loose Change

If you have a spare 80 minutes, this documentary about 9/11 is pretty interesting. I wonder if these questions will ever be answered.
Cleared for solo; Return to the motherland
8 June 2006
Lat weekend I did my 6th AFF lesson and was cleared for solo. I then proceeded to jump out of a plane at 15,000 feet… completely alone. The previous 2 lessons had been with one instructor who basically hovers near you as you do excersises and makes sure you’re ok. It was so different being out there on your own, just falling with no one around. I’m now working towards my A-Licence, which involves a lot of self-study and getting advice from experienced jumpers.
On a completely different topic: I’ll be returning to England at the beginning of August for my cousin’s wedding. I’m planning on working from Google’s London office for 2 weeks, then spending the 3 weekends seeing friends and family. If you are around and want to meet up please get in touch, especially since a lot of my contact details are out of date or were lost in a hard drive crash.
