A geeky Thanksgiving
November 30, 2008 by Mitch Lewis · Leave a Comment
It was nothing like what was experienced by the first pilgrims in America with the native american Indians. I can’t imagine that the settlers and the indians each whipped out their laptops after the first Thanksgiving dinner to show off their coding abilities, but that is what happened in the year 2008. Jeremy and Nick [...]

Yesterday I competed in the Stinson Beach 30k race, organized by Pacific Coast Train Runs (PCTR) – they are also the ones that organized Skyline to the Sea 50k race. As usual there were funny and great stories along the way – but overall a fantastic day. Kim and I carpooled down to Stinson and [...]
Working with Animals :-)

Last week we had a group offsite at the local wild animal park – Safari West. Everyone took lots of photos and I wanted to share three of them – and my expertise (ha!) at working with Picasa: This one is of some flamingos and I really liked the reflections in the pond. The giraffes [...]
Life To-Do List

From a conversation yesterday, I thought I’d try to put down a list of things yet to-do in some areas. A while ago, I bought this book “A 1000 Places to See Before You Die”. While that is an important area, I think everyone has their own list – and probably some similar things (all [...]
On missing your exit

A totally random post: Yesterday I hosted an all-day group offsite for the local Engineering team and visitors from India at the local wild animal park (Safari West). Why choose this place? We had had a small group meeting there before and it’s an awesome place with a great conference room (the Elephant Room) and [...]
Admission of Tears

I would have written this last night if I was more bold My previous post was written while watching the early returns come in for the election and before the results were announced. I was surprised by my personal response to that. Imagine my further surprise when leakage of tears came while watching Obama’s acceptance [...]
Goosebumps
November 4, 2008 by Mitch Lewis · Leave a Comment
As I watch the election returns coming in and reading stories on the internet, it’s the first time I have ever felt genuine goosebumps and chills as a result of elections in the United States. Obviously, millions of Americans are feeling the same thing. It’s quite amazing to see the lines of people voting and [...]
13th and Lucky Marathon – Sony Ericsson in Raleigh
November 4, 2008 by Mitch Lewis · Leave a Comment
Yesterday, I completed my 13th and in many ways, most gratifying marathon in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Sony Ericsson City of Oaks Marathon. I had just spent the last 6-7 days traveling over 10,000 miles, 8 flights and business meetings in Germany, Slovenia, UK, Paris, back to UK and then flights to Raleigh getting in [...]
