Vacation Photos

As usual, its been far too long since I've posted anything. And as more
usual, this will be short.  But, I've got several things to write
about, so I'll post again soon - I just wanted to at least get this
entry on line so people can see the photos from my recent week with my sister Sarah and niece Bethany.

I'm REALLY glad I don't commute into San Francisco!

Commuting in and out of the city from the East Bay is going to be even
more heinous than usual for the next few months.  At about 3:40 this
morning, a tanker truck full of gasoline crashed on one of the
overpasses in the 'maze' of freeway interchanges in Emeryville, not far
from Pixar.

Want to see what the weather's like here in the San Francisco Bay Area?

The current view from the Berkeley hills

 
This page shows a nearly-live photo taken from the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley.

 Located well over 1000 feet up, in the Berkeley hills, the camera faces west across San Francisco Bay towards the Golden Gate and shows all or part of the cities of Berkeley, Oakland, Emeryville, and Albany immediately below, and the skyline of San Francisco in the distance.

 It has links to all sorts of local weather-related info,  and a time-lapse movie  from the day before (one frame taken every minute.)

Contracting at Pixar

Submitted by chris on Mon, 12/23/2002 - 11:18.

I will indeed be working a contract position at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California from January until early June 2003. After that, it'll probably be back on the bike for a while!
