Skating on Stanford campus w/ Geoff: With only a few puddles left from the recent rains we checked out some of the new terrain at Stanford. Unfortunately about an hour into the skate the skies opened up again and we got rained out.

The Friends of Coyote Creek were out for National River Clean-up Week on May 16. 2009. I brought my GPS, camera, and creek savy, to the venture. Even though I was in the largest, most stable boat on the water, fear of dropping the camera into the water limited the number of photos taken. Our boat actually spent most of the day collecting and ferrying trash from other boats to the drop...

PIcnic | 2.8 miles
What does it look like to document a picnic held a block away from home? I guess we'll find out.What we found out is that the systematic errors of the GPS make it appear as if we were holding this picnic on top of the school building visible in the satellite imagery. We weren't. The gpx time must be GMT, because the saved file timestamp says it's tomorrow. Maybe that's editable in...
I had one afternoon in SF to try to get a sense of the city so I took this "hop on/hop off" tour.

The tour guide got the giggles watching us and couldn't get through her...
