Weekend of June 29th - July 1st

Last weekend I:

  • Attended Inspirathon.
  • Went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, had a BBQ at Tom's house.
  • Visited the Sutro Bath ruins.
  • Attended the Charter Members night of Brian Eno's 77 Million Paintings


      I left San Luis Obispo on Friday night with Corrie and Nick, at around 1800 hours. We arrived at Adrian's house around 2100 hours - about one hour into Inspirathon. The event had a great turnout! Adrian wrote a very good summary of the event. I'm in agreement with Adrian's assessment of the event, so I have nothing to add in this regard. Jesse left his laptop on a chair with a mesh back, it made for a neat picture:

      The next morning we dropped Nick off at the Santa Clara Caltrain station, so he could go visit his friend in the city. Corrie and I then drove over to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk via Highway 17.

      Later that night we went and hung out with Tom. I got to play with his iPhone, it does a great job of rendering my web page!

      Tom also showed me an article about a couple that sailed around the world. The article listed all of their travel expenses and described their experiences. I really want to circumnavigate the earth in a sailboat someday!

      The next day, I explored the Surto Bath ruins in San Francisco with Corrie, Nick, Seth, Catherine, JP and Christina. Nick took a bunch of pictures. (Thanks Nick!).

      After the ruins, I went to see Brian Eno's 77 Million Paintings with Corrie, Nick, Adam, Kathleen, Jeff and Mike. I really enjoyed the video installation. I remember that my first impression was thinking "I'm going to get bored of this really soon". However, I realized that I was only going to get to see 77 Million Paintings on a 44' screen once in my life, so I decided to enjoy it while I could.

      Scott Beale did a fantastic job of taking pictures of 77 Million Paintings, check out his photographs if you want to see more.
