Abandoned Google Bike

Speedway Stout Vertical
As one does on a Tuesday evening before heading out for a different epic sour tasting.
Nondescript, yet nicely appointed
The unfortunate thing about mass market hotels is that they all all have basically the same furniture.
Office
I'm in the office at SmugMug HQ this week. Had great food and conversation with coworkers, wrote some code and didn't fall asleep on my desk. Also didn't take many photos :(
Waiting
I volunteered to take an alternate flight to San Jose. Delta gave me a $500 credit and booked me through LAX instead of Seattle. Oddly I ended up arriving nearly 20 minutes before my bag that wasn't re-routed. Airlines make no sense to me.
BDPA
I've been volunteering my time teaching kids about PHP, MySQL and other misc web technology. Curious who these kids are? Lear more about the program here: http://www.bdpa.org
Imperial Bar
There is so much awesome at Social Ice, it's hard to describe it all. Instead, here's a simple shot of the Star Wars Imperial Bar.
From Social Ice 2015
Carving Ice Sculptures
In preparation for the outdoor ice bars for Social Ice in Rochester - an annual tradition.

Alley behind the Doubletree hotel
I liked the steam vent blowing but didn't capture what I saw.
Oskar
Calculating the area of a paper airplanes wing while trying not to laugh about how much tape does or doesn't weigh. You kind of had to be there.
React.js Training
Kim clued me in to this training with Frontend Masters. It was a one day covering React.js. Mostly I learned about ES6 and Flux. Well worth the trip up. @ryanflorence presenting
Skyway to "nowhere" or Failure
This skyway links the Holiday Inn to the 300 block of Broadway South. I stopped to capture this cliche image and a man came up behind me and said he could tell I was looking for an artistic shot. Being the introvert that I often am, I tried hard to avoid conversation. This failure results in a boring skyway shot without the interesting man who likely would have been happy to be the subject of my photo. Do better tomorrow.
Incidentally, this skyway has it's own page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SkywayConfRoom
Pencils
The last two weeks have been all about homework. Getting it done and getting it turned in. Due to snow and ice today, I didn't get to walk around and do much shooting.
City Market / Olive Juice Studios

Today was all about Facebook. Working the SDK and API and fighting with code left behind by my predecessor.
Creepy Corridor
There are some tunnels you should not go down. Taken in the subway of Rochester, MN
Words Players Theatre
This old building has been repurposed as a theatre. The fire escape exits the rear of the building.
