A Week of Extremes



This week, we naturally discuss our recent activities, which, of course, involve greg at the Cohiba store at Santana Row.
A couple of really fun things this week......we took another flight to Monterey, because there were lots of clouds. We partook of the incredible avocado burger that is served at the airport restaurant.......it can not be over stated enough how good this thing is!
We took video too :-)......here it is.

On the way back, while talking to Norcal Air Traffic Control, we learned that there had been an earthquake. They didn't know how bad for a while but advised us to stand by to find out whether we could land or not.....just what a pilot wants to hear! It turned out to be a 4.1 earthquake. Then we had a reasonably close encounter with the big Farmer's blimp!
Greg's father had a birthday, so he went up to the House of Prime Rib in San Francisco to celebrate. Nice. Some of the best Prime Rib you'll ever have. Seriously yummy.

Simon spent some time talking to guys who'd been to the CES in Vegas the previous week, which is the biggest consumer electronic trade show in the US. It seems that despite lots of pretenders to the throne, the iPad still rules the roost....with the also rans still playing catch up. We discuss the possibility of AppleTV as a source for distributed house sound system....very cool.

Android phone, vs, iPad/iPhone.....The Android is very cool but it is just too complicated and has a lousy battery life.


Of course we have to mention the Arizona shooting. That's seriously bad too, and it leads into a (biased) discussion on gun control and we turn into grumpy old farts for a few minutes.

And that wraps it up for this week.
