Pearl Harbor and the Zoo

Today we visited Pearl Harbor to specifically see the USS Arizona. Unfortunately, Mia fell asleep during the short film that is watched before taking the short boat ride out to the memorial. She was also asleep all the time we were at the memorial. It wasn’t until we started to leave that she stirred from her slumber.

Next, we went to the zoo, where these photos are from. Mia loved to see the fish, monkeys, birds, and all the other animals at the zoo. To our surprise, there was so much to see. We’ll need to visit our local zoos to see what they offer.

All in all, it was another beautiful day.

Mia's First Day in Hawaii - A Few Photos

A few photos from our first day in Hawaii. The first day was mainly getting Mia acclimated to the new time zone, and for me to recover from my Dramamine hit. Oh, but plenty of good food was eaten yesterday. What’s on the menu for today? We shall see.

Mia does her part for the occupy movement. Occupy Sunnyvale!

He would have been 102 today. I still miss him.

Wide and Tall

This Wide This Tall

This makes me want to get a dog. But of course, they never stay this tiny, do they?

The Jacket

The Jacket

Farrah thought this multi-colored jacket Mia is wearing was lost. But luckily, the great folks at daycare found it - stuck in a backpack. So I put it on Mia as we left daycare yesterday. Oh, we had to stop by the pumpkins that were placed throughout the lawn area. It gave me a chance to try out the camera on the iPhone 4S. Not too bad.

It’s going to be a fun Halloween this year!

Steve Jobs

I was in my office, packing up for the day when I received a text from my wife. It simply said:

Steve Jobs?!

Sadly, it could only mean one thing.

Boardwalk Empire - The Subway Edition

Boardwalk Empire Subway Ad

I’m not a big fan of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. I tried watching a few episodes when it debuted earlier this year, but I just couldn’t get into it.
But I can get into this advertising campaign. I heard about it a few days ago, and now Laughing Squid has a few photos. I’d love to see this in person. Too bad it won’t be around for long. But if you are in NYC, you should stop by and see — but only on the weekends.

More photos can be found on Laughing Squid’s blog post.

Mia and the Luau

Mia and the Luau

Mia’s daycare was having an end-of-summer luau. Even though sunglasses and hula skirts were handed out, the weather wasn’t exactly sunny and tropical. We stayed as long as we could (the hula performance started late) until the wind and time forced us to leave.

I took only a few photos, on August 26, 2011. You can find the rest here.

My Next iPhone Case

80's Cell Phone Case

I really need to update my iPhone. It’s on its last legs. The volume button is broken off. The power button doesn’t work. And it started to split in two at the seams! Hopefully, there will be a new iPhone soon.

I’ve been scouting for iPhone cases and came across this. It would be interesting to carry around, wouldn’t it?
