I’m a queer lady, Erin Jr.’s mama, and Eryn’s partner. The three of us live in San Francisco, though Eryn and I both work in Cupertino. I love to travel, I enjoy watching sports, I have the unfortunate habits of collecting keyboards and watches, and I’m illegal in over 60 countries.

The Galileo-type shuttlecraft makes its first appearance in 1989’s Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. The plot required—and the budget allowed—the folks making the movie to build full-scale models of the shuttle as well as Enterprise’s shuttle bay. They made good use of both. Galileo (screencap from TrekCore) The folk...
Most of the many “…was the name of my high school band” jokes I’ve made over the years were verbal and are lost to time, but some were here on my website or on social media. Since I’ve imported pretty much all of my social media posts onto my website, I realized the other day that it’d be pretty easy to find them...

Eryn and I went to the Netherlands with her family for a week this May. We stayed in a cute AirBnB in Broek in Waterland, a small village about 8 km north of Amsterdam. I ran into Todd at our gate before we even left SFO—he was on the same flight, heading to Amsterdam to speak at a conference. What a small world we...
We all end up where we do because of the strangest confluences, buffeted by the winds of circumstance. We can only try to end up where we feel we should be. — Frances.

While staying at an AirBnB during our visit to the Netherlands, I wrote some code to import all of my AirBnB stays from over the years, as a part of my ongoing attempt to import all the things! There haven’t been all that many of them, but each of them is a nice memory, and what’s a personal website if not a place...

The 2026 edition of the Windup Watch Fair San Francisco was at Fort Mason this weekend. I only made it to the fair for a couple of hours on Friday, but I think I made the most of my limited time there. I bought a couple of ads from Ad Patina: a vintage Speedy ad for Eryn and a Jackie Robinson “Think Different” ad...
