Had a great time at the Google Cloud Conference at Moscone Center. Learned about Kaggle from creator Ben Hamner, learned about Site Reliability Engineering from Ben Traynor Sloss, and learned how Megan Andsell, PhD astrophysicist from Cal-Berkeley uses Google computing power to find exoplanets (earth-like planets) in our galaxy.
Wow, are these people brilliant! So much fun to see.
Now there are more than 200 members of the MeetUp group “Finding Female Friends Over 50” which was started in January. Yesterday four members joined me for the final performance of the Sonoma County Philharmonic, and the reception afterwards for artists, volunteers, donors and sponsors. A wonderful day!
Yet another drizzly Friday April 5 did not stop 16 members of the “Finding Female Friends over 50” MeetUp group to meet near Spinster Sisters restaurant for the First Friday ArtWalk at South of A Street galleries. The rain washed out the expected live music and the food trucks, but we met artists Lorna and Linda and Carole Watanabe who gave me a copy of her book! Great fun!
Wisteria in full bloom, and the first lilacs in five years. This winter was cold and wet, which I guess is what it needs.
Bob Martin, the intrepid leader of the Saturday Saunterers snapped our photo at the start of a damp hike through the woodland recovering from the Oct. 2017 fire.
My collage is hanging in the “Favorite Things” show at Sebastopol Arts. On Friday, April 12 I hope to take the FFF>50 MeetUp Group to see the show.
