One of the most attractive qualities of Yosemite is that it has so many beautiful facets that have inspired countless artists. If you look hard enough the valley reveals something new and amazing no matter what the season or weather.

Tonight I attended the Fake Steve Jobs interview put together by LinkedIn at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. I went out of my way to leave my camera behind so as to enjoy the evenings festivities. Even still I took a few photos with my iPhone. I’ve always been an Apple / Mac geek so meeting Guy Kawasaki, who interviewed Fake Steve Jobs (AKA Daniel Lyons) was a highlight. I was also luc

This weekend things kickoff at Icer Air 2007 here in San Francisco. World class skiers and snowboarders face off in an extreme sport competition at AT&T Park in the heart of downtown San Francisco. Yesterday I got a chance to take a quick look at the final stages of construction on the main ramp. I think this year the ramp might be even taller than last. Icer Air 2007 starts around 3pm today so if you’re in

Last week I posted a photo “The Splendor of Fall Color” in a blog post titled “In Search of Fall Color in the Eastern Sierra’s” that employed a technique called zooming.
