Pictures and video from a day of giving stand-up paddleboarding a try from the Santa Cruz marina. The water was so calm that day we even ventured out into the bay.

Life-Size Angry Birds
A T-Mobile promo featuring a life-size game of Angry Birds played using a smartphone. Cool.

Saratoga Gap in Time-Lapse
I created a time-lapse recording of riding the Saratoga Gap to Long Ridge loop in Santa Clara County. So that’s a 90 minute ride condensed to 3 minutes:
Admittedly it’s pretty hard to follow along while in the trees, but it looks pretty cool at about the one third point where the trail opens up. I’ll have to try this again sometime on a trail that has much more open riding.

Bay Area LEAF Owners Meetup
Pictures and video from a meetup of San Francisco Bay Area owners of Nissan LEAFs – “Bay LEAFs”:
New Shiny!!
Look at my new shiny! An all electric Nissan LEAF. Yay!
After a test drive of the LEAF at the SF Auto Show in November last year and discovering what a fun, surprisingly-roomy little vehicle it was, I knew I wanted to drive electric, even if it meant giving up my Audi A3.
Unfortunately, I also discovered that the waiting list was already closed, so I immediately jumped on the reservation list for the still-under-development Tesla Model S instead. But this week I found out that I could take home an “orphaned” LEAF immediately despite the waiting list (though, for a premium). This is a vehicle that somebody ordered but then decided to back out of – the dealers are selling them to other buyers willing to pay a little extra. So I get to enjoy it while still waiting to see what comes of the Tesla Model S.
Awesome! Driving electric now!
