About Steve
Steve's grateful to have spent another
year in amazing health: no injuries and not sick
once. He attributes
this to a healthy lifestyle and... not flying. But perhaps it's just coincidence that he stopped getting sick
right when he quit spending hours in sealed containers with hundreds of germ-spewing strangers.
Education continues: Steve & Lisa began the year with an "Intro to Statistics"
class at Stanford (to help us with our work; Steve's final paper here), and finished 2016 with another
Stanford class on the Presidential Election and associated issues. Both exceeded expectations.
Steve continued exploring low-carbon activities, including:

Steve continued exploring low-carbon activities, including:
Selfie on an empty train
Selfie in the woods while visiting dad
Long distance biking with his daughter
Long distance biking in Texas
Trail running above Yosemite valley
Local runs with family & friends
Wading across rivers
I really have no idea where this was...
Atop mount Tam with Jan
Admiring Dark Side vehicles in Illinois
Napping in the middle of a long hike, with a friend
Low carbon diet?
Regarding Home Energy Analytics --
During 2016 Steve led a brilliant team of designers and developers to build a cool new iPhone app to help Californians save energy in their homes. This work is being funded by a grant from the California Energy Commission, and the first version was released right at the end of the year. A huge accomplishment, but only a first step: we've already found a whole host of things to do to make it better. Happily, it's a 3 year project, so we've got time to make it even better.
Steve created in 2015 still stands!
But my new solar fountain (3D printed) art project
did not impress my patron. Apparently she
wanted something more like... a fountain
Our first time hiking the High Sierras near Mt Whitney.
Don't tell anyone, but ITS SPECTACULAR
27 years and still by my side
Clearly on a roll, Steve plans to try out
more low-carbon activities in 2017.
