Mark organized a party to celebrate his retirement from FileMaker/Claris, gathering together old and new coworkers at K1 Speed in Santa Clara for some electric go kart racing. The go kart racing was fun but it was really great to see everybody again!
I rented their provided cameras for the first two of our three runs. The first run wasn’t captured (they didn’t start it properly) but here’s our second run:

Here’s some pictures from another dim sum lunch with friends and coworkers from FileMaker, this past Monday (5/19). Frank was actually overpowered this time by one of the servers and we ended up with a whole extra round of food we had to take with us. Click through for the gallery:

Just some miscellaneous shots from lunches with my coworkers at FileMaker. The first set is just lunch at FileMaker up on the third story deck – hiding from the scorching sun on an unusually hot day:
And this second set is just from a couple of lunches out in the area – one with Clay, Paul and Simon at a local deli and another for dim sum with Stephen, Andrew, Frank, Albert and Clay:

Just some poor photos from a recent work lunch outing for dim sum with Clay, Stephen, Albert, Tom and of course Frank in charge of accepting items for our table!
For the International “Talk Like a Pirate” Day. Or preferably dress like a pirate:
In the early nineties at FileMaker, we would sometimes go for lunch at this great cheesesteak place near work, Steven’s Philly Cheesesteaks. And the owner, Steve Gauthier, would often be there taking orders. (We would privately refer to him as Chuck, aka Chuck Norris, given his similarities. Yeah, the real Chuck Norris hasn’t aged so well…) Well, years go by and some leave FileMaker… and many more years go by… and some return to FileMaker. So this was a fun photo to take with Frank joining us again both at FileMaker and at Steven’s cheesesteak shop some 14 or so years later:

Clay and Patty and I went out to Orlando early (ahead of our FileMaker Developer Conference) to visit a few of the amusement parks.
We also got to see a space shuttle launch from the FileMaker Dev conference:
