About tanster
Update 4/18/03: I'm not really back. Just visiting. Really. I think.

I’m a technical writer for financial software.

I live in Palo Alto, and love to eat out and play with cool gadgets.


Recommended restaurants
· French Laundry, Yountville the ultimate dining experience.
· Fleur de Lys, San Francisco the perfect 'special occasion' restaurant.
· Crustacean, San Francisco roasted crab and garlic noodles to die for.
· Pasta ?, Palo Alto excellent pasta at bargain prices.
