About Eric
His group just changed their name to Waymo. A division of Alphabet. Parent of Google. (Got it?)
He lives in a big home in Woodside with ten soulmates: some from college,
some from high school, some from work, others just wandered in and started eating.
They have 36 bikes, several cars that run, and they specialize in large fun parties & trips.
But the brakes did die at one point.
This year he put a new engine in his cute
small blue diesel pickup truck.
He and his friends made a very successful bus trip
to Moab and they didn't lose a single person.
Who says Halloween is just for kids?
He spent much of the year helping Google automate this new Chrysler Pacifica:
In September he attended his 6th Burning Man.
And in an extraordinary modern remake of the
man-vs-machine story, two housemates (Michael &
Nathan, below left) challenged Eric to a bike race in the
epic 129 mile "Death Ride"
near Lake Tahoe. They passed each other 9 times! Atop the
final climb (shown below), the challengers were 2 minutes
ahead on their home-made electric tandem. But Eric
passed them on the downhill before the finish.
Machine vanquished. But perhaps for the last
time...? (Details here.)
He and his housemates paddled down the Russian river with
house trophy dog Spoonkin.
Touring Burning Man via uni.
Lots of camping, beach trips, bike trips, one 6-12-18-24 Challenge, multiple work trips to Detroit, and always lots of good food.
In general he looks like the shot below, but in our first sighting in 2017 the mohawk had returned!
