San Francisco Fleet Week

Over the weekend the San Francisco Fleet Week started on Saturday.  At 11AM on Saturday morning Navy ships started their way into the city under the Golden Gate Bridge.  Seeing all the Navy ships from an aircraft carrier to Destroyers and Frigates was amazing.

In the afternoon the Navy along with the Blue Angels put on an incredible air show.  Below is the gallery that I put together showcasing some of the pictures from the morning through till the afternoon.

Thank you Steve Jobs

So many people have already said so many things about Steve Jobs and the life that he had.  He was a visionary, a game changer, an inspiration, a man who liked to Think Different.

When I heard the news of his passing today, I stood in my apartment dumbfounded.  Without Steve Jobs's passion and ingenuity, the past 8+ years of my life would have played out very differently.

I made a trek this evening that used to be part of my daily routine.  While it has been a few months since I've been to Infinite Loop, going there was the only thing that felt right.  I wanted to see how everyone was feeling (as did the many reporters who asked employees questions as they walked past), but I also wanted to say thanks to Steve and to Apple.

Here are some shots that I was able to get in front of Infinite Loop.  A makeshift memorial was started under the 1 Infinite Loop sign, and later it was moved to a bench to allow more people to pay their respects.  Before I left a bagpiper started playing as he walked towards the memorial, and he ended in front of the bench.
