June 19 - Classic Chevy

A local cider shop/ orchard we go to in Woodinville has this old Chevy truck parked out front. I love the curves and the slight wear of the front end.

June 12 - Chef DJ Macintyre of Seastar

I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with a great chef, DJ Macintyre of the Seattle restaurant Seastar. We went shopping at Pike Place Market, then went back to the restaurant where we cooked up a meal in the kitchen with a few friends and ate and chatted for a few hours. He shared a lot of great knowledge and has an amazing pallete. If you are ever in the Seattle area definately check out the restaurant. You won't regret it.

June 9 - Speedy Delivery

Seattle is a test market for Amazon Fresh. It's a service that allows you to shop online for your groceries and have them delivered to your door within a few hours to 1 day. It's worked out fantastically so far. I also love how the crates are like giant Lego bricks.

Like any geek worth his glasses, I have a few boxes filled with various cables "just in case". I thought they would make a pretty good tech bouquet for a picture. I did refrain from trying to pass them off as a gift to my wife.
