Our place is the 3-story building in the center of this image. The
roofline is actually flat; the step seems to be a scan/splice
artifact. Half hidden by the tanker truck is What's Up Dog, the local
hot-dog stand. Pan around and try to spot the three lighthouses; maybe
we'll add a fourth. Just down 12th street is The Chocolate Factory,
worth a visit if you're in town.

Great view--the Slim Pickens angle.

Remember, mechanical engineers build weapons; civil engineers build targets.

Looks like a good gritty neighbourhood to keep your mind on your job.

This is my lab--slightly different surroundings--that's why nobody at
all has an office window.

Lots of fun stuff in both places though--I finally got in a 40 Gb/s,
zero chirp, lithium niobate modulator today. Watson Lab is 5 miles from
home, and Rocky's Millwood Deli is only a mile away. Rocky's is open
24/7, fast, friendly, and *real genuine guy food*. There's a
hot-cappicolo-and-provolone-on-a-roll-lettuce-tomato-mayo-salt-pepper
calling to me right now, I recognize the voice. (Fortunately there's
guy food available at home too.)

Is the silver/gray vehicle your new Rabbit or is that the "Employee of
the Month" spot?

Aha! So you probably know (of) Harley Heinrich?

I've been around everywhere... a sign of old age ;-)

I was going to take a shot of the Civil War plaque at the Veterans
Park for you, to see if any of your old friends were listed but I got
sick from the heat before I could get to the other side of the park and
had to head home. Maybe next time! ;-)

We park inside, mostly, and the Rabbit is blue. It's not obvious, but
the Enterprise lot (with the hot-dog stand at its tip) is across Otis
Street from us. There's really no free street parking, or any other
kind of free parking, anywhere near here. We're just a few blocks from
City Hall.

It's sort of weird to have an electronics design and manufacturing
place downtown in a big city.

It is a little rough. But there's some seriously good latte and
pastries a couple of blocks away, and some NYT-well-reviewed
restaurants within an easy walk... Zuni Cafe, Hayes Street Grill,
Absynthe.

This is my lab--slightly different surroundings--that's why nobody at

Looks serene. It reminds me of the old HP site in Cupertino, that was
once surrounded by peach groves. Now it's surrounded by car
dealerships and fast-food joints.

Lots of fun stuff in both places though--I finally got in a 40 Gb/s,
zero chirp, lithium niobate modulator today.

What are you going to drive it with? We were working on a 20 GHz
distributed amp modulator driver a couple of months back, but it's
been sidetracked by a laser modulator that a guy may want a bunch of.

Watson Lab is 5 miles from
home, and Rocky's Millwood Deli is only a mile away. Rocky's is open
24/7, fast, friendly, and *real genuine guy food*. There's a
hot-cappicolo-and-provolone-on-a-roll-lettuce-tomato-mayo-salt-pepper
calling to me right now, I recognize the voice. (Fortunately there's

Close to us there's a Chinese place that makes a world-class hot
corned-beef on egg bread sandwich, up there with Zabar's. Who woulda
thunk it?

Cool. Here's a break-in allegedly in progress maybe 6 blocks away:
