Our first Christmas tree together!

12/8/2015

I bought some very high-tech white lights. Unfortunately, they were delayed. I couldn't wait. So I went to Target and bought tons of multi-colored lights, and threw them on...soooo excited!!

We have been collecting hand-blown glass ornaments for three years now. Mostly, we've been giving them to friends and family, as we had no tree. Finally, we bought some more this year, and we raided our storage locker.

Instead of a boring angel or star, enjoy our festive tree topper.


All of these ornaments come from a store in the Portland OR airport (PDX), The Real Mother Goose. The ladies there work super hard, sometimes more than 12-hour days. Yet they are always super friendly and helpful. They pack glassware so perfectly, that we've travelled thousands of miles and not chipped a single one.

These photos were taken on my Fuji X-E2, with their amazing 56mm f1.2 lens. I ground the camera against an aluminum stepladder for stability, as my tripod and my life are in storage.

​Happy Holidays!!

    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.
