Shoreline Amphitheatre–Deftones and Incubus

Sep 08

Back to School Poster

Saw Deftones for the 4th time at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View on August 26, 2015. They were with Incubus, apparently for the first time since the Back to School tour in 2000 (which I also went to).

This show was pretty rad. The weather was perfect (as always) and the amphitheater is right by the LinkedIn office. We normally head to Sports Page first to pregame, then back again for a few more after the show. This show was on a Wednesday which happens to be karaoke night. So yeah, that too.

I took a few videos of the show. Sorry they’re so shaky, I was getting into the show and had a beer in the other hand. The videos are embedded from YouTube below with a link to download the full res original next to each one. If you want to download all of them, here’s a zip file: joncaveman.com/downloads/Deftones and Incubus at Shoreline.zip

Tech shuttle sunrise

Was on the early shuttle the other day and saw a pretty sunrise over the San Francisco Bay. I decided to record it. That’s all.

San Francisco offshore sailing – Drakes Bay and the Farallon Islands

Aug 09

I started sailing in July of last year (2014) at Tradewinds Sailing School and Club. Learning to sail on the San Francisco Bay has been amazing. It’s the New York City of sailing–if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. 🙂

I’m ASA Bareboat Charter certified (ASA 104) and I also hold my Advanced Docking and Motoring endorsement (ASA 118). My next step is Coastal Navigation, then Advanced Coastal Cruising, Celestial Navigation and then finally Passage Making. Ultimately I’d like to sail across an ocean (a la “All Is Lost” with Robert Redford).

Most of my sailing is done on the San Francisco Bay. That is, behind the Golden Gate Bridge. Cross underneath the Golden Gate and you’re in the open ocean. Now, sailing within the gate can be extremely challenging, but crossing out into the open ocean presents a whole new set of challenges. On July 19th, 2015, for the first time, I set sail for the open sea.
