I was at Stanford University for a Wireshark conference. Wireshark is a tool
used to capture and analyze packets on a network. This is for those who love
to go deep into what goes on in a network. How things get delivered over the
wire when you start your internet browser for example. So it is kind of the
ultimate Geek or computer nerd conference. |

What a beautiful campus Stanford is. Each morning I would wake up early
and walk the campus and take a few pictures. With Stanford being located in
Palo Alto there are many buildings named after those who donated money to
the school such as Bill Hewlett, David Packard, Bill Gates. One I sure
didn't see was Steve Jobs... Hmmmm Maybe he can't afford to donate money. |

The 8,180 acre campus was founded by Leland Stanford in 1891 in honor of
his son who died at the age of 16. Leland made his money in railroading.
Stanford faculty and alumni founded Hewlett-Packard, Electronic Arts, Sun
Microsystems, Yahoo!, Cisco Systems, and Google. When I would wander the
campus I couldn't help but wonder if the kids that were able to attend
this school had any idea how lucky they were. I know I sure couldn't
afford it. |
