From the Silicon Valley Biz Journal writeup on the evening: "Honoree Jurvetson's successful big venture bets have included Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX, among others.
"In many ways I feel like an imposer on this evening," he said. "We work for visionaries every day. We invest in people who look towards the future and do incredible things. As investors, the best we can hope for is to be an enthusiast and cheerleader of the right visionary leaders and find the next Steve Jobs or Elon Musk out of thousands and tens of thousands of others."
Jurvetson said venture investing has changed dramatically since he started doing it 20 years ago. Technology has made great leaps.
"When we started the venture business back then, there were semiconductor companies, software companies and biotech," he said. "You could invest in other sectors but you would lose all your money, like in automotives. Many tried, they all died. Until Tesla."
Today, there are many, many areas to invest in successfully, he said. "Cars, rockets, satellites, agriculture companies. Companies are engineering new life forms and chemicals. Everything in the world is becoming an information technology business," he said."

Pointblank from G1 Transformers cartoon series, turns into a futuristic speedster. Transformation doesn't require reassembly of parts.
I am taking inspiration from both his original toy version from the 80s and also some design cues from his cartoon/comic version.

July 3, 2010: Corner of Woods Lane and Main Street - East Hampton, NY
I can't find any writeup about this place being used for receptions so I'm assuming it's just a house in the neighbourhood.
[Full writeup here.]
Plungercam 2 keeps in the spirit of the original plungercam by using of cheap plumbing equipment and affixing it to precision optics. This iteration eliminates the need for glue altogether, so all the optical components can be easily taken out and re-used elsewhere.
The main component is a rubberized pipe coupling, which I got for $7 at the always awesome Center hardware. The two adjustable steel bands will be used to hold the mount and lens securely in place. This particular one is two inches on the narrow end, and three on the wider end.
To fix the problem with the body cap mount teeth fraying, I decided to replace it with a T-mount T-mount adapter. I picked up the one I'm using for $3 from one of the closing Ritz camera stores.
I'm re using the $12 (from ebay) Zenza bronica medium format lens that was in plungercam 1. Since this was only held in place using a metal clip, it was easy to take it out and re-use it.
Total cost: $22 :)
Kitano Herb Garden in Kobe offers one of the best views of the Kobe City. A quick ride on the ropeway near the Shin Kobe Shinkansen station takes one into a serene location, beautiful herb garden, glass house cafe and much more.

The very sad news that I recieved today relating to the death of Steve really knocked the wind out of me… I'm still coming to terms with it. I'm doing a little more of a writeup on my blog about it here...
But for now, let me tell you a bit about this photo:
I'm a firm believer in the philosophy that it's "Easier to seek forgiveness than seek permission.." — I apply this thought process to a fair deal of the activities I engage in, balancing it of course against risk and legality. But in most cases, I'll jump a fence or cross a few lines to get a good photo. This has happened a fair few times, and I'm still here, unscathed and loving the results.
On this occasion, I needed to 'trespass' onto some farmland to get a photo that I saw coming a mile away… One of those situations where you can see time moving and know exactly where you need to be and when. The rather interesting thing about this photo was that it actually caused me to be well over 40 minutes late for an important study session regarding my pilots license. But I can partially put that down to poor navigation and planning on my part, completely underestimating the time it would take to drive to my destination...
Read more about this photo, and my personal tribute to Steve Jobs here...

A Paan shopkeeper on the way to Bhimashankar from Pune, India. I was charmed by the multitude of novelties he had in his petty shop apart from paan( and it's friends); including, but not limited to, imported cigar(ette)s of the brands like Marlboro, 555, etc., insence sticks, a wide gamut of key chains, perfume, talc powder, shampoo and even bread.
The cap he wears, which looks identical to Jawaharlal Nehru's, is called the Gandhi cap, made out of Khādī, is part of the ethnic dress of Maharashtra; started during the pre-independence era in Mahatma Gandhi ji's Khādī Movement, it became a symbolic tradition for freedom activists to wear it in independent India.

Crystal Shrine Grotto is a historic artistic tribute to the life of Jesus at Memorial Park Cemetery in Memphis, TN. Cemetery founder E. Clovis Hinds wanted a tribute to Jesus to uplift the mourning visitors to the cemetery. The Grotto features many years of work by Dionicio Rodriguez, but many of the sculptures inside the cave were added decades later by David Day, Luther Hampton and Marie Craig. The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places as "Sculptures of Dionicio Rodriguez at Memorial Park Cemetery."
Here is the description from Wikipedia:
In 1935 Mexican artist Dionicio Rodriguez was hired to beautify the park with sculptures. Annie Laurie’s Wishing Chair, Broken Tree Bench, Abrahams Oak, Pool of Hebron and Cave of Machpelah are some of the most important sculptures that can be found in different locations throughout the cemetery.
In 1938, construction of the Crystal Shrine Grotto began. The grotto is a 60 ft deep, hand-built cave in a hillside near the center of the cemetery, filled with 5 tons of quartz crystal, hence the name Crystal Shrine Grotto. The grotto was completed after Rodriguez' death in 1955. The shrines in the grotto illustrate the stages of "Christ's Journey on the Earth from Birth to Resurrection".
Here is my video tour:

Ralph Thompson was born in 1904. He was the youngest of six children of Thomas and Mary Anne Thompson - Ezra, Mac, Ruth, Theodore, Danecourt and Ralph. He grew up on the family farm east of Harlowe and attended the old one-room Harlowe “Union” school, so-called because it was a boundary school between Barrie and Kennebec townships.
On July 8, 1936 Ralph married Annie Cook (1907-1994) on the hottest day on record during the 1936 heat wave. Annie had come from Arthur, Ontario to teach at the Harlowe School. They first lived with his parents on the Gull Lake Road past Viking Lodge in a house that burned down from a chimney fire on a bitter cold night February 22, 1938. Ralph then built the last house on Thompson Road before the lake and raised his family there.
Ralph was blind in one eye from a childhood accident that prevented him from going out West with his brothers to work in the wheat fields. He did not let that get the best of him and worked on his dad’s and later his own farm; he built cottages and guided in his dad’s and later his own tourist operation - in the photo he is taking someone fishing.
Ralph began working for the township of Barrie when he was in his twenties and worked there for 45 years, retiring in 1975. He started as Clerk and worked at whatever was needed, adding the jobs of Road Superintendent, Building Official and Treasurer over the years. Much of his township work was done in his parlour at home where he had his home-made desk and chair. The safe for the township was in his parlour too, until it was moved into the Cloyne Pioneer Museum with a great effort, where you can see it now. He was Superintendent of Harlowe’s Standard-Wesleyan Sunday School for a number of years.
One big event of his work was a trip taken in January 1963 with a group of Councilmen. The Champion Road Machinery Company flew them to Goodrich, Ontario to investigate a new grader that would replace Barrie’s single grader, initially drawn by a team of horses, later by truck (see adjacent photo). Some young men who were still in school remember their excitement when they saw the new grader being driven past the school; the girls could not have cared less.
Ralph’s life wasn’t all work. He enjoyed taking pictures, especially of scenery, painting pictures and fishing. He enjoyed travelling to other parts of Canada when he visited some of his kids in Canada’s North and West, especially when he could fly in his son Doug’s plane. He made innumerable trips to watch the process of building the St. Lawrence Seaway, being curious to see how they built the bridges and dams.
Ralph passed away on December 18, 1977. Both Ralph and Annie are buried in the Harlowe Cemetery. Ralph’s was a life well lived.
Thanks to Eileen Flieler who spent time with Dorothy Thompson, Ralph’s daughter for the photos and writeup.

Quote: An English Proverb
So many people doubt the powers of Mother Nature and test her patience more and more. Somebody keeping calm/patient shouldn't be mistaken that he/she is timid and inert; one of these days, if She shows a little wrath of hers, it will be unbearable for incompetent, selfish creatures like us. It's time we show a little respect to someone from whom we get our body, mind and soul. It's all Hers and little time will it take for Her to take them back.
Also, for people who think they are helping Nature; Sorry, you are misinformed. 4 billion years ago did She stay a hotbed for life and even after so much of destruction by man will She happily stay so. Why? She has all the time in the world to rejuvenate, for resilience is her inherent excellenc. Hence, if you are doing something, it's purely for us, humankind, for we has very little time to save ourselves.
I've seen Belle from time to time, usually in the ball gown but at least once or twice in her blue and white outfit from town. I don't think I've ever seen someone dressed as Megara before, though.
At WonderCon 2012 ← writeup
Oh man, I don't even know where to start. This weekend was absolutely epic. I guess i'll share my 3 day long adventure with all of you flickr folks.
My weekend started Friday afternoon when I decided to drive down to Patrick's (Quickworks Photo) house, 2 hours south of where I live. I got there around 8pm due to traffic. At Patricks I met up with Mike (TokenMediaGroup) and Carlos (Quickworks). Originally we had planned on leaving Saturday morning around 4am but then we said why not just leave tonight? Shortly after, it was 1AM and we were on our way to Wek'Fest LA. With tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera gear in the trunk, we proceeded to instagram our road trip. Yes, we did instagram our way down.
I'm starting to realize if I keep explaining my weekend in this much detail i'm going to have to write a book so i'm going to make this more brief starting meow.
When we arrived at Patrick's cousins house at 5:30am we started sleeping, only to wake up up for Wek'fest 3 hours later. Fuck yeah! sort of. Once we woke up for Wek'fest we realized everybody had tooth brushes, but no toothpaste was nowhere to be found so we ended up buying toothpaste and brushing our teeth in the Mens Target bathroom. Except for Kreayshawn, she went to brush her teeth in the Womens bathroom.
Upon arrival to Wek'fest I met some awesome people and i'm going to try to list them all right now but i'll probably fail. John Zhang (1013mm) Courtney Michelle Wingfield (I<31013mm) David Do (Mayday Garage) Antonio Alvendia (Motormavens) Joy Abdalla (Super cool SEMA STi Driver) Katie Smith (Ruble Wagon, I know you know this car! She owns it) Laura Keller, Vinnie Nguyen, Kevin Sang, William Joon Lee, Alex James, Steve Demmitt, and Luke Munnell. If I missed you which I may very well have, I apologize in advance.
When Wek'fest was over, Patrick, Carlos, Mike and I went to Rachaels house in Long Beach to meet up with Heather (Mah Girlfran). We met up with the majority of the people mentioned above to go out and about in Downtown LA until 3AM.
Well, it's a good thing I didn't post this as a facebook status. I think I would have been befriended by every friend I have on Facebook.
All in all this weekend has been an absolute blast! It was a pleasure meeting everyone and I look forward to seeing you guys at future events.
If you have read this far, I congratulate you. :D

Only in love are unity and duality not in conflict.
~ Rabindranath Tagore
This was taken on the night before my grand parents 80th anniversary wedding @ my native village. This is our house, which is the place of venue for all marriages of the family. The interiors you see are the typical signatures of Chettinad houses.
In almost all of 60th/80th anniversary weddings of South India, some form of Shiva Shakthi will be the centerpiece. They are to Hinduism what Yin Yang is to Taoism. They denote the duality of nature and yet one can't exist without the other. They complete each other. Shiva is thought and Shakthi is action. Shiva is the male force for which Shakthi is the female energy. She's is the morning while He is the night. The list goes on.
The brass pot adorned with garland is called kumbam (கும்பம்); it contains holy water (water with herbs) in front of which sacred hymns are sung in praise of the divine couple. There are 80 of them to denote 80 years. On the day of the wedding, each well wisher will sprinkle this water on the actual couple, after this the wedding happens.
And yes, happy birthday to me :)
