Stanford
University |

It was by sheer luck that I stumbled up my current job
at Stanford University, and I was very fortunate to have been hired there.
I figured that I was set for "years to come", as a job at Stanford
is not only fairly secure, but it's a job worth holding on to. The benefits
are good, the people are great and the campus is beautiful. But after
less than a year within the halls of knowledge I had to give my notice.
It was time to move again, this time to the East Coast. I'm winding down
my time there now, hoping to make an easy transistion to the next lucky
soul who gets to take over my seat.
Below are some random shots I took one weekend around the campus. I wanted
to make sure that I'd never forget what a wonderful place it is. |

History of Stanford The buildings on campus range from 100+ year old
structures of stone to modern, still-be-built walls of glass. Always kept
in mind is the look and feel of history and stability of what Leland Stanford
began in the 1890's. The great earthquake of 1906 took its toll, but the
University rebounded quickly, leaving very little evidence of the damage
that occured.

of Rodin sculptures, found scattered across the grounds. The Cantor
Art Center holds a surprsing amount of art within its walls, some of
it on permanent display and some of it rotating. |
