Normally, I think it’s annoying when companies like EA try to impress everyone with how ‘quirky’ and ‘cool’ it is to work there, and how interesting all the employees are; it generally comes off as trying too hard.
That said…sometimes it really is true.

Hello, friends. Apologies for the lack of updates recently; an awful lot of Real Life has gotten in the way. Besides those things, though, life has been pretty good, if not fairly routine. I’ve been keeping myself quite busy on weekends, mostly with good things, an that doesn’t look like that will let up any time soon. We have 3-day passes to Outside Lands, which I’m pretty excited about. I’m especially stoked to see Pearl Jam, Black Eyed Peas, and M.I.A., but there are an almost overwhelming number of other bands playing that weekend. Any of you going?
On the technology front, I picked up a second Airport Express in a shockingly painless Craigslist transaction, and it’s now hooked up to the Bose in the bedroom. I did have a bit of trouble setting it up, but nothing like last time. After hooking it up via ethernet cable to my Mac, updating the Airport utility software, and rembering to prefix my WEP key with a ‘$’, I was good to go. So I am currently lying in bed, typing this entry into the WordPress iPhone app, and I just used the Remote app to build a playlist from my iTunes library on the laptop om the kitchen and start it streaming to my bedroom without ever having to get up. Technology really is amazing sometimes. And fattening.
Speaking of fattening, I went to Shabuway in Mountain View for dinner tonight, and followed it up with burgundy cherry/hazelnut gelato from Gelato Classico. Yum. This was all a prequel for my triumphant (and temporary) return to Wednesday TV night, which was as fun as I remember. Peter and Crystal also gave us a housewarming gift of an awesome Star Wars toaster that toasts Darth Vader into you bread! Amazing! And in case you’re wondering, no I did not have a housewarming party. Yet. It’s complicated.
And with that, it’s off to bed. I’ll try to update more, but no promises.

Yesterday Crystal and Peter were married at Memorial Church at Stanford. The ceremony was very sweet, and included a reading from a really cute childrens’ book called I Like You. Afterward we headed to the reception at The Garden Court Hotel in Palo Alto (and stopped to get Matt a hamburger on the way) for a night of food, fun, and dancing. I can’t believe Peter and Crystal are actually married now, because when I first got the save-the-date e-mail, I remember thinking how far away August was. But here we are, and I’m so happy for them. Congratulations!

(If you’re wondering why you have to use a guest pass, it’s just that I made a bunch of the pics private so that my Flickr stream isn’t flooded with wedding pics. Any more than it already is…)

Friday afternoon was Miriam and Brendan’s wedding down in Carmel. The ceremony was at a beautiful little church, and the reception was at a winery where we had delicious appetizers, wine, and dinner. It was wonderful to see everyone so happy, and I wish Miriam and Brendan (and Sara!) all the best as they being their new life together as a family.
