Photo: February 2005 Archives
I still don't know how to use my camera, like at all, but Stan showed me a few things about it, and I'm getting better. I finally pulled off what I think is a decent night time picture of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco:
The photo is still a little blurry, but way better than what I have been taking to date. The secret of this shot was that I balanced the camera on something solid -- like a makeshift tripod, so that it remained steady during the long exposure time.
I was out doing the tourist-like thing with Anjali and her friend Eva yesterday. We hit Tennessee Valley, the aforementioned palace, North Beach, and Ghiradelli. Not a bad way to spend your Saturday afternoon/evening. The weather even held as well -- we got rained on during our final trek from Ghiradelli to the car, but that was it.

So, Stan recently turned 26, and so to celebrate, we all went down to S.F. last weekend and treated him to dinner:
The restaurant was an Indian joint called Rasoi. It was pretty good, which is starting to freak me out a little bit. I was really not about the whole Indian food thing when I moved out to California. Now I've been here almost two years, and while I won't say that I actually like Indian food -- it certainly isn't as terrible as it once seemed. And in fact, in the span of the last month, I've had Indian a total of 3 times. Amazing! The California virus lives on. When are we going to have a cure for that?

I have finally put up some pictures from my recent travels:
- My trip to Germany, working for EDS
- The side-trip that I took to London, to visit Fredrik
- Pictures from Nitin's wedding reception
That is all.

I took this photo at a brew pup, where the extended EDS team all went for dinner on Wednesday night. It was quite a large affair (at least 27 EDSers), and we all ran up quite a bill. Of course, because I don't drink (not even in Germany), I only had two cokes. So, I'm still a cheap date.

The opening credits for "The Terminal" are done in the style of olde-timey analog information board. I didn't think that these were still used, but lo and behold, Frankfort airport has a gigantic one. And I must say, it is really neat when the letters change.

I managed to get a pretty decent (for me anyway) picture of the National Theatre in London at night:
