Scottish Highland Games
Eric joined Darlene and I at a pair of events at Roaring Camp Railroads in Felton: the Big Trees Scottish Gathering & Highland Games and the Harvest Faire & Steam Festival. Lots of bagpipes… and kilts… and steam:

Polynesian Festival and Races
Darlene and I dropped in to see the Polynesian Festival and Outrigger Races at the Santa Cruz Wharf on Sunday morning. Apparently anyone can sign up as teams in advance and compete in the races. We also stopped into the free Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary Visitor Center. It’s a small center with some nice exhibits and videos, including a tank where you can drive around a remote-operated submersible.

Classic Car Show
Clay and I went to the Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance at Stanford to see some classic cars… and the Tesla Roadster!
Okay, it was really just to see the Tesla but the classic cars were great too!

Burning Man
Pictures from my first Burning Man experience!
So what is Burning Man? Oh geez. Well… it’s this massive yearly gathering in the high desert north of Reno, Nevada. It’s a festival of art and creativity, of community and self-expression. It’s a temporary city where commerce is not permitted, giving is widespread and people meet each other through their participation in the event. It’s definitely an experience.
The event runs a full week but FileMaker’s Developer Conference always seems to coincide with it. So this year I decided to at least taste a few days of it. Bonnie and the rest of her burning clan were kind enough to let me join them at their camp, “Heaven a la Cart”.
