My first manager was Swiss and a competitive fencer. Phenomenal engineering manager.

4 year letterman is a crucial box to check - any good private college counselor would have told him that. Congrats on USNA! A huge sacrifice for your kid but will definitely pay off. Ours graduated from Marine OCS last summer (Marine PLC program) and is set to commission upon graduation in Dec.

He got accepted to UMass

Hilarious - UMass Amherst is one of the top CSCI depts in the country - which dad probably doesn’t even know because in New England it’s still known as Zoo Mass given it used to be a huge party school. And the kid played no sports! Kids like this are a dime a dozen in the Bay Area. 4 years of...

Try Bricco in Laguna Niguel for authentic Chicago thin crust (cut in squares) with Chicago Italian sausage - it’s the best I’ve found anywhere in CA. We had dinner at Angelina in LN recently - what an incredible restaurant with stunning ocean views and great live smooth jazz. Quite an older...

I miss Diedrichs

Bamboo just renewed me for no increase after an $11,000 water claim from a burst pipe. Happy and surprised .

Au contraire - I couldn’t get enough of a RACE car. IMO they will be the last profitable ICE mfr a decade from now. 911s just sound like super loud lawn mowers - nothing sexy about that sound. I do however love me some big block V8 rumble - my dream classic muscle car is a 1970 Firebird Formula...

I had one for 4 days and it gave me a headache - maybe because I was driving 100+ consistently

Are you referencing an M3 Performance or a regular Model 3?

I’d be more excited about Wiz. Google is my largest customer and Wiz is the absolute best product in cybersecurity.

You’ve obviously never driven a Performance Model 3 - it handles like a 911, kicks butt on the track (track mode is so cool) without the noise and with a backseat. For $60K there is nothing that can touch it.

It was a change of course in the philosophy of admissions driven by our late great leader Dr. Steven Sample after the Rodney King riots endangered the campus, largely by doubling down on the already elite reputation of the School of Engineering. USC is now the top hiring school for AWS and...
