Today we went up north to test drive a new Mini Cooper. The cooper was a bust because Donna hated driving it (of all things, she likes the Scion xA better), but on the plus side we got to take a tour of the Arlen Ness museum above his shop. Here are some pics.

Well, I participated in my first Yahoo! Hack Day on Thursday & Friday. I’m not sure if I am allowed to tell everyone what my hack was, but I think I can tell you all that I won a trophy for “Best Use of API’s”. So one month after I started at Yahoo! I get to put a trophy on my desk for Hack Day

The picture I have attached is the only one I have found that I am in. I am wearing a yellow shirt just to the right of the center.

Today we went on a hiking trip in The Big Basin State Park. We got to see the famous California Redwoods. Let me tell you, there are hardly any words that can describe seeing them. It is really a “you have to see it, to believe it” kind of thing.

We didn’t stay for too long because we ran into a couple of glitches. First, you have to pay to park at California parks (we didn’t know that), so we didn’t have enough cash to park. However, we managed to get a spot & where able to take one of the shorter trails. The second glitch was the fact that it was very cold & windy. So we all had to buy some long sleeve shirts. Even then, it was a bit of a brisk walk.

We are definitely going back, only the next time we will be better prepared..
