Still catching up the blog from my travels. I stayed with Karl and Bob while visiting Palo Alto a week ago in my quest to find housing. Karl is a fine host and barbecue extraordinaire. Let me tell you, it is not everyday that you find a guy who keeps a plentiful stash of hummus and cookies on hand.


Bob is a man of many talents. When he is not in the research lab saving the world one nanoparticle at a time, he accompanies himself on the guitar while singing Irish drinking songs. AND he is really strong.


I also got to catch up with Bronwen. I would say this photo pretty much captures the idea... looking very much engaged.

In conclusion, these people are cool.
