Joey
Here’s all of the stuff you always wished that you knew about me, like my favorite toothpaste or how to email me.
The Basics
I live in Santa Clara with my wife, Cassie, and our two cats, Bert and Sherlock. We do some travelling amongst other things.I’m originally from Healdsburg, CA, the land of wine, tourists and plazaball. In the not so distant past I graduated from the UC Berkeley. While I was there I worked at ERG Aerospace, did bionanophotonics in the BioPOEMS lab, and learned to make a mean calzone to serve 40 people at Andres Castro Arms.I attend grad school at Stanford and am studying Mechanical Engineering. I work in the Microsystems Lab and play with cantilevers all day. I have another website for school stuff.
Things I Do
- Run this website for all of the lucrative advertising opportunities and groupies
- Read
- Write instructions about how to do interesting things
- Make stuff and things in Ruby on Rails
- Brew beer
- Photography
- Swim
- Go on adventures with Lola
Software I like
- Gmail: The best email program on the face of the Earth
- Google Reader: Keeping tabs on journals and efficiently skimming websites
- Google Calendar: Ditto the comment about Gmail
- Matlab: For those moments of weakness
- Layout Editor: Like L-Edit but free and open source (not the same thing)
- LaTeX: For theses and math assignments (lah-tech)
- Lightroom: Good for keeping those photos in line
- Papers: To take research papers, which tend to multiple like rabbits
- WordPress: My current content management favorite
- Mediawiki: Good for simple collaboration / group websites (like some of these)
- Twitter: Good for things that don’t merit a blog post
