The iPhone Dock Bed

My girlfriend and I both have an iPhone. Every night when we go to bed, we plug them in for charging. We also use them as our alarm clocks.

Llama bank card

I recently had my site redesigned (and that’s still in flux), but I also had a logo designed. Since I’m very much fond of llamas, I decided my logo would be a llama.

My last week at Facebook … it seemed so long until I could finally return to my beloved Anneleen. Simultaneously, time seems to have flown by.

Tenth week: Facebook swag, double victory, C++11

On Monday, I finally got Qt committed (if you’ve been reading my blog, then you’ll know that I started this two weeks ago). It cost me about five full work days.

Seventh week: Google, Cirque du Soleil and JOHNNIAC

Monday was the first day after Anneleen left. Obviously a sad day. Plus, due to the lack of sleep the night before she left, I was still feeling very tired.

Sixth week: Engineering summit & Anneleen's visit

Facebook, or well, my manager, graciously allowed me to take two days off — I believe in large part because I had been working so hard in the first 5 weeks of my internship.

Fifth week: "work hard, play hard", Stanford & Palo Alto

This week, I worked very hard to get as much work done as possible — as I did the preceding weeks, but with renewed energy and focus — before Anneleen would arrive Saturday that week.

Fourth week: impostor, "Belgium?" & MV FAST

On Monday, I biked to Facebook and back. Since I left early, it was cold. Very cold. Belgium cold. What’s worse though, is the state of biking.

Third week: biking to SF on the Super Safe Clown Show

This workweek was rather uneventful. I just worked very hard on pushing my project forward.

On the Tuesday of the second week, I started feeling very much at home here in the sunny Silicon Valley.
