I did a trip there for business school and had a blast. My favorites in no particular order:
1) Burj Khalifa - nice view, although go to the Armani lounge instead (which is only 3 floors below) which is free to visit and also provides booze. Otherwise you end up spending a lot of time waiting.
2) Ski Dubai - just do it.…
Ever heard of a CTO?
Agreed - that was fucking lame. What’s the point of putting 0.1 seconds on the clock?
It’s really about time until we start putting senior executives in jail for this shit.
Alex Zanardi is giving him a thumbs up. Good for him.
I prefer one laptop for work, one for personal. Done. I never like having work/personal cross paths, even for emails. All you need is come legal issue to come up and things get ugly.
I have a portable hard drive with the PortableApps suite installed on it for just this purpose. I used to go to the field and work on various systems, but they didn’t have Office installed, so at least I could use LibreOffice off of the hard drive to do what work I needed.
Just another day in Fresno.
I guess things have changed somewhat. Thanks.
That’s what I was taught. Perhaps things have changed? I know that you don’t just crank down on it.
Thank you for posting. That was hysterical to watch!
I was waiting for someone to post that scene. Seriously - we had a dark blue Pinto when I was little, and my parents sold it sometime later.
Chris Rock nailed it right here:
Maybe they didn’t know she was homeless, or she chose to be homeless in spite of the family reaching out to help. We see a lot of this here in SF.
With many companies, just having an .edu email address is sufficient. Sometimes they ask for proof of registration. I’ve leveraged by education access a lot over the years and scored an easy 5 figures worth of discounts.
Wool can get pretty stinky too, although poly is the worst.
A couple of places to check out:
1) Filoli Gardens, which is west of 280, along Canada Road in Woodside. It’s a really beautiful place to visit and they change the flowers all the time. There are also orchards and often wildlife running around too. You can see bobcats and deer.
2) Plugas Water Temple, just further up…
More stars for taking 280 instead of 101. You will get some nice scenic views and the traffic is much better. During the summer you can see the fog flowing over the mountains like a river, which is really cool to watch.
