Busy on vacation. So, a good kind of busy.

I was in Sacramento for a few days, and now I am in Los Angeles. So far, my trip has been full of catching up with old friends, meeting a few new ones, and having quite a pleasant time.

I took pictures of only a few things, so I will describe those.

From Cats at Glenn's
In Sacramento, I spent a lot of time hanging out with Glenn Mondro, a friend since 5th grade. There are currently a lot of cats at Glenn's place.

Glenn and I drove from Sacramento to Los Angeles in my mom's car. Mom, thank you!

A friend from high school (Shay) has been letting us stay with him in the city of Sierra Madre. The house he is renting has a great view.




From Shay and James' house
See the cat on the roof?













Glenn and I were able to attend E3, a large video game convention. Here I am with some Ghostbusters.





Joseph Hatcher showed me around E3 a bit. Joe is a friend from the Game Developers Conference; he now works for Perfect World, who make beautiful *and* free-to-play MMORPGs. Here we are checking out "Wii Fit Plus" from Nintendo.

From E3 2009
At E3, one sees many unusual things. Like the robot mech in the center. At this distance, it looks like it could be stomping around the convention center! Yikes!

Tomorrow is Caltech's Commencement! Three people from my old lab (Steve Mayo's lab) are graduating. I also know a few undergrads who are graduating.
