Another SF trip coming. I fly out Friday, work all weekend, and then half days all week, with the other half consumed by meetings and trainings. Worst part of the coming week: leaving my girlfriend here. Best part of this week: meeting all the great people on my team that I haven’t met yet. I do love to travel, to hit the open road. The world is so big and so full of possibility, and going places, for whatever reason, reminds me of that. Even though sometimes I bitch about being cramped or bored or exhausted, it’s still better than sitting at home. <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/about_to_start_getting_ready/705/0007.jpg” /> </div>

Coolest bike I’ve seen out somewhere in a while. All campy record, looked all original. I was, in my jealousy, tempted to clip that lock. But there’d be no joy in that, so I took a picture. If you’re the owner of this bike: we should ride some time, you’re probably pretty cool. <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/have_you_seen_this_bike?/706/0007.jpg” /> </div>

Ronan is KJ’s new baby, about a week and a half old at this point. She’s already picking up her head and rolling over, which means nothing to me, but apparently means she’s very strong for a newborn. Congratulations to KJ and Thorne! <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/meet_ronan/707/0004.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/meet_ronan/707/0005.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/meet_ronan/707/0006.jpg” /> </div>

And two days ago was my first thunder game. Have I mentioned, lately, how awesome my girlfriend is? Because she got us corporate box seats. Easily the swankiest way to see a basketball game– that ish was catered from the start and at halftime there was a desert cart that came by. I didn’t take the long lens, so no great pictures of anything, but it was a great game, right up till the last minute where we lost. Refs were blind, we shoulda gotten foul shots in those final seconds. Unrelated: I saw a pretty car that day, too. <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/today_is_thursday/708/0001.jpg” /> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/today_is_thursday/708/0002.jpg” /> </div>

Just a quick thought while I’m working– I’m sitting here and I realize that my phone has more ram and processing power than the web server that runs this site. How much longer before my phone could run my entire web presence without it being noticeable? and how long before the “mobile web” is the only web consumers like you and me use? There is a need for big iron (big server farms, lots of data processing capacity), but most of that stuff that I use could be distributed. I think it’s not going to be long before I can buy an app that makes me the center of my social media (as opposed to some external company), and when I want to turn it off or hide those embarrassing photos I posted, I can. <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOEMv0S8AcA”>Freedom in the cloud</a>, anyone? <div class=”center”> </div>
