I Did a Nice Thing Today

I took Paul to Costco to buy batteries (for I have a membership) for his AG kids. On the way back to the car, we found a cell phone that had fallen off the belt of its owner. It had a nice body-glove case. Instead of leave it in the parking lot, I took a long detour on the way home to drop it off at the CellularOne Store on Marsh. Hope they get it back to the owner, as soon as possible.

The Pelco interview went well. I was floored by the fact they do all their manufacturing onsite, in Clovis. They have a full factory for pressing and milling metal, bending it, and do all the fabrication for their stuff. Their computer products use some off-the-shelf components, but who wants to make mainboards when you buy good ones pretty inexpensively? I think the interview might turn into a job offer - and one that I would consider very seriously.

This week I’ll be flying up to Seattle to interview with Microsoft for a Software Design Engineer position in the Mac Business Unit. I am interested in the position, but I am not so sure if I really want to move up to Redmond.

The lab is setting up an interview for me for a position in the Computing Applications Research department. I would then be matrixed back to my old position to work on a public health application. I think this would be very cool, but it also could also somewhat like stagnating. Who knows.

Sarah came over this weekend. Was a sort of slow weekend - we didn’t do too much. Not a bad weekend though. Would have liked it to be longer - and I would have liked an opportunity to climb Bishop’s Peak and explore Poly Canyon a bit. There are bunch more weekends though before I’m out.
