- AC759
Seat 17D on an Air Canada Airbus A319 is behind a jump seat, and doesn't have a screen to watch movies. Since the flight arrives at SFO at 2:30 a.m. Toronto time, maybe this is a signal that I should sleep. (AC759, Toronto Pearson International Airport) 20170310 - Banana Leaf
Asam Fish Head uncommon in Malaysian restaurants, authentic taste evokes memories of visit to Singapore many years ago. Dish came last after beef with eggplant, and roti prata appetizer. Multicultural cuisine is a benefit of diversity in the Bay Area. (Banana Leaf Restaurant, McCarthy Ranch Marketplace, Milpitas, California) 20170311 - Cafe Stritch
Timed jambalaya @CafeStritch for Eulipions Jazz Jam, @timlinmusic calling the tunes. House band plays 7pm set on Sunday, so no impact on sleep schedule or work. Visit to California is for business, but there's always time to squeeze in pleasure, with a little planning. (Cafe Stritch, South First Street, San Jose, California) 20170312 - Cantor Center, Stanford
Cang Xin (2002) Hostess, from the Identity Exchange Series. Couple is still technically newlyweds. Eight of us wandering the galleries, occasionally crossing paths. (Cantor Center for Visual Arts, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California) 20170318 - Cantor Center, Stanford
Tsuba Auerbach (2009) Crease 1. Lots of visitors pacing forward and backward, observing the dots changing. Family day extended by new friends, everyone is a migrant to the Bay Area. (Cantor Center for the Visual Arts, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California) 20170318 - Cantor Center, Stanford
Claes Oldenburg (1977) Soft Inverted Q, is inside the Cantor Center courtyard. Leisurely California weekend, still jet lagged after a week on the west coast. (Cantor Center for the Visual Arts, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California) 20170318 - Daikokuten Kyoo-ji Temple
Nichiren Buddhist temple built on land donated in 1655. Shogotai troops took refuge within walls in 1868 Battle of Ueno, Imperial Army left bullet holes in the gate. (Daikokuten Kyoo-ji Temple, Nippori Village, Tokyo, Japan) 20170325 - Fu Yao
Found Job's tears, definitively marked as coix seeds, in bulk quantities at my local Chinese supermarket. It's a gluten-free substitute for barley, packaged in small quantities labelled as "barley" or "pearl barley" as 薏仁 / 薏米 (yì rén / yì mí). Job's tears are rounder than barley, and have a brown groove on one side. The bulk bin correct labelling was more reassuring. (Fu Yao, Gerrard Street East, Toronto, Ontario) 20170307 - Golden Gate Bakery
Assessed egg tarts warm out of oven as very good, but maybe not worth a 45 minute wait, unless you're with family and friends that you haven't seen in a while. A shared experience. (Golden Gate Bakery, Chinatown, San Francisco, California) 20170319 - Golden Gate Bakery
Reputed as city's best egg tarts, they had better be pretty epic for the line to shake across the sidewalk on Grant Avenue. AHI had never been here when they store hadn't already run out of supply. Sunday meeting should have full inventory. (Golden Gate Bakery, Chinatown, Dan Francisco, California) 20170319 - Googleplex
In 1988, I worked at 1965 Charleston Road, in a partnership between IBM and Metaphor Computer Systems (a spin-off from Xerox PARC). This led to the partnership between IBM and Apple, called Taligent. The building didn't have the current landscaping, and was surrounded by Sun Microsystems. (Googleplex, Charleston Road, Mountain View, California) 20170320 - Hayward Area Historical Society
Hand pump fire engine @HaywardAreaHist made circa 1825, used in San Francisco 1849-1870, and then in Hayward until the mid-1880s. Part of the collection of local history, including an exhibit on internment of Japanese Americans in WWII, and the subsequent return of their property. Encountered museum sign downtown, after the GPS decided that I should leave the freeway and drive city streets. (Hayward Area Historical Society Museum of History & Culture, Foothill Boulevard, Hayward, California) 20170315 - IBM Research Almaden
Servers behind glass, for new technologies under development in research. Strolled through the building, a quiet contrast to the contemporary understanding of technology companies where disorder reigns. Reviewed stories of a multinational enterprise with a history of more than 100 years. (IBM Research Almaden, Santa Teresa Hills, San Jose, California) 20170313 - Intel Museum
Archive of technologies getting smaller and smaller. My career was associated with the advances of microprocessors, so I lived through much of the history described at this venue. (Intel Museum, Mission College Boulevard, Santa Clara, California) 20170320 - Johnson Pier, Half Moon Bay
Noon is too late to buy fish right off the boat, but signs indicate that regulars must come to the harbor earlier for ultra freshness. (Johnson Pier, Half Moon Bay, California) 20170321
