Convergence
Convergence: the act of converging and especially moving toward union or uniformity… I wrote the following in 2020. Since then, the idea and reality of convergence has only grown for me. First, let’s go back to 2020 and what I originally wrote on the subject. Have you ever been driving down an empty road, not … Continue reading Convergence
Flights
In my last post I wrote about some of my favorite airport memories so I thought I would use this post to write about some of my most memorable flights. Please let me know some of your most memorable flights as well! Many years ago, I was on a flight from Atlanta to Denver on … Continue reading Flights
Airports
As far back as I can remember, I have loved planes and airports. When I was a kid, I always looked forward to a trip to the airport. In my case, the airport was usually Stapleton International Airport. It no longer exists but at the time, it was Denver’s main airport. This was back before … Continue reading Airports
Star Trek
Space, the final frontier! I first heard those words back in the late 1960s when I would curl up in front of our 19 inch, black and white TV to watch Star Trek.

We thought it would be … Continue reading Los Alamos

This might be called a series / reread year as I read several series and also reread several books. In no particular … Continue reading Books 2023
Five Thallo Street
The weather had finally cleared! The last few weeks here in Pacific Grove had been rainy with only a couple days where the sun peaked out. The rain had varied between a light mist and a torrential downpour. Today though was bright and sunny. Those dark clouds that leave the ocean grey had moved on. … Continue reading Five Thallo Street
Apple Developer Center
I started this post about the Apple Developer Center several months back and never got around to finishing it. I recently moved so I am not sure I’ll have very many opportunities to visit the Developer Center again. Because of that, the visit I write about below has gained additional importance in my work and … Continue reading Apple Developer Center
