Stanford and SF

I spent the week in Stanford helping Melahn with a big project he's working on, so I spent some time wandering around the campus to clear my mind. Melahn's also renting a flat in San Francisco, and we stayed there two of the three nights I was in town.

Here are some sights from campus.


Hoover Tower


Courtyard in front of the church


Memorial Church


One of the Burghers of Calais

I also got to swim at the pool...such an awesome facility...outdoor, year-round, saline, and freakin' gigantic...4 pools, including 2 50-meter x 25-yard lap pools, a diving well, and a water polo pool.

And some sights from the city.

Melahn also kicked my ass on a rowing machine (I'm still sore 3 days later), and I gotta say that I'm pretty excited about his project (well, it's actually an energy startup). The learning curve has been steep but painful so far!
