A Week in California

My new job wants me out in Palo Alto about a week a month. I spent the week of December 12 there, which managed accidentally to coincide with the NSG West Christmas party, so pictures from that are included.

Not pictured: visits with several friends.

These are all from my cell-phone camera, which remains an amazingly horrid photographic instrument.
