Shared a unique experiencel with redmed, capital_l, and technolope at Opaque in San Francisco on Friday. The short story is that we ate a meal together in an entirely lightless dining room, helped by servers who are each visually impaired to some degree. First off,…
Woke up, not quite so early this morning. Packed up and rolled out – back to the same breakfast place to order the exact same thing. Really, when you find a perfect lox bagel – there’s nothing to do but order it over and over.…
Woke up this morning in our tiny cabin over looking the Pacific. Seriously. We’re on a bluff that backs onto the ocean. We watched the sun go down into the ocean last night, and then got up from the rocking chairs and went in to…
Hello from vacation. There’s too much to fit in – so I’m just going to hit the high points and backfill later. Woke up this morning in Ashland, OR. It’s a funky – funky little hippie commune of a town. I woke up there because…

This has been a hell of a week – with a rather epic conclusion. To sum up: I woke up at ass:30 on Monday to catch the 5:25am train to New York. Worked a day for the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, and caught the…
Yesterday, morning I was 100% – stone cold – freaked out about work. I had too many things to do and not nearly enough time to do them. Besides that, I’m supposed to be providing some kinda guidance to other members of my team. If…
