Christmas Eve in the deep, deep woods of PA

12/24/2017

My parents have lived in the deep woods of central Pennsylvania for decades. It is gorgeous, but very remote. There have only been really two tenuous links to civilization, one wire brings power, and another wire brings a phone landline. For many decades, and for my entire childhood there, that was it. No cable TV. No Internet. Nada.

For example, the house is located off a dirt lane off a highway. There are 3 neighbors and you can't even see them. It's out there!

Slowly, and with great effort, my brother and I have upgraded the house over the years. They now have Satellite TV, Mobile Internet, Mesh WiFi, routers, firewalls, iPads, mobile phones, caller ID on their TV, a huge backup generator (for when a tree knocks their power out for weeks), LED lighting everywhere, etc...

Here is a little welcome lighting for when my brother and his family visit later in the week.
​

Then, as if by Christmas miracle, we got a perfect dusting of white snow on Christmas eve.

(In the background is my ridiculous and fun rental car, a 400HP, flame-orange, Dodge Challenger. Highly recommended!!)

Ho Ho Ho! 

Merry Christmas from the Brennan family!

Great translator. Poor egg-courier.

The audio is a little quiet, but priceless...

    I'm an applied-math-research Ph.D. and serial startup founder. I am a recognized computer security expert, fortunate to join the ranks of many, great CTO's. I've founded and seed-funded multiple, successful, VC-backed companies. I'm still at it!

    My wonderful wife and I moved from New England to near the Portland Oregon area. We LOVE the Pacific Northwest, and we've been here a few years now. We have an adorable baby girl, Vivi.

    People here are nice and smile a lot. Vegetables are insanely delicious. Driving is not like Mad Max.

    This blog is very Vivi-centric. Our family just can't resist. :) Also, there are some stupid hacking and geek tricks.
