“She said that small towns, that’s the part of the country she really likes going to because that’s the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: fuck you.”

This week and next I’m in Cupertino for Genius Training at Apple HQ, but today & tomorrow we have off, so myself & a few of the other Geniuses hopped in the rental we have and headed off to see the sights.
First stop was the Computer History Museum, which was *way* cool. Not big, but they had lots of nifty stuff, and a working 19th century replica difference machine! Definitely recommend if technology interests.
After that, we went hunting for redwood trees (*Sequoia Sempervirens*), and headed north to Redwood City. Sadly, a misnomer a far as we were able to tell, but we did find some *magnificent* views of the countryside. Pictures will follow on my flickr.
From there we headed to San Fran, and at the moment we’re still approaching. The bay is on our right, and the Pacific on our left. Too cool. I’ll post more later!
Some pictures of my travel mates/fellow Genius trainees:
Andrew & DJ, my car-sharing mates, are showcased first.
After that we have Jeffrey and Assad.
“This happens every election cycle. Every four years. This is what we do. We’ve got an energy crisis. We have an education system that is not working for too many of our children and making us less competitive. We have an economy that is creating hardship for families all across America. We’ve got two wars going on — veterans coming home not being cared for — and this is what they want to talk about. This is what they want to spend two of the last 55 days talking about. You know who ends up losing at the end of the day? It’s not the Democratic candidate. It’s not the republican candidate. It’s you, the American people, because then we go another year or another four years or another eight years without addressing the issues that matter to you. Enough. I don’t care what they say about me, but I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and swift-boat politics. Enough is enough.”
