When Jen and I first started dating, I had a TV and no stereo and she had a stereo and no TV. It seemed like a great match, and for a long time we got by with what we had. About 4 years ago I decided to upgrade our TV and went from [...]
Hot on the heels of a great October, we’ve been having a really good November. Jen’s business is going very well (but I’ll let her blog about that). Google isn’t doing too badly either. I recently was promoted so now I’m a Senior Staff Software Engineer, which means that I’m beginning to [...]
The kids like to talk about what they remember. A couple of days ago Ally started talking about how she remembers Cole’s first birthday. “I remember his birthday…there were a lot of kids and they were really loud and they were playing games. I was playing the games too, but on the [...]
A while back, I was invited to give a keynote at StarWest 2007 which is very conveniently held at Disneyland. They wanted somebody from Google to come give a talk about Testing on the Toilet, which has gotten lots of press and outside recognition including the Washington Post and the San Jose Mercury News [...]

Jen, Cole and Ally head to New Hampshire to visit Grandmom and Grandpop in their new house for a week. It snows 6 inchs the night before and promptly upon arriving they [...]
Ok, not so new. But now you can see them. I’ve gone through my photo backlog and published four new albums, including one that’s pretty recent:
Ski Trip: Jan 2007
The first time the kids get to go skiing! And the first time that Jen has skiied in 7 years. We shared a [...]
Happy day after Thanksgiving! We went over to Bob and Jill’s for an excellent Thanksgiving feast with their family and Jennifer and Jim. The kids had a great time playing together, especially Ally who got to play dress-up with Bridget. Sadly, I forgot to take my camera but I took some photos [...]
Jen’s phone died, so we went phone shopping for her… but we wound up buying a new phone for me instead. I gave her my not-so-old Motorola v360 along with my old bluetooth headset and bought a new Blackberry Pearl for myself with a Plantronics Voyager 510 headset.
I’ve been resisting getting a blackberry for [...]
