Loni Stark is an artist at Atelier Stark, psychology researcher, and technologist whose work explores the intersection of identity, creativity, and technology. A self-professed foodie and adventure travel enthusiast, she collaborates on visual storytelling projects with Clinton Stark for Stark Insider.

Adobe MAX Descending on Chicago
Two Netflix Blu-ray movies showed up in our mailbox today. A sure sign that I am heading out of town and Clint can get his dose of horror flicks this weekend.
I'm really excited about my trip out to Adobe MAX 2007 in Chicago. The show this year is sold...
Construction Photos of Our Loreto Bay Home
I actually got the progress report from The Construction Coach (TCC) over the weekend.

Brunch with the Bay Area Loreto Bay Homeowners Club
Last Sunday, Clint and I met up with the Loreto Bay Homeowners Club for brunch at Mexquite in Redwood City.

In Review: V-Moda Earphones Give Bose Some Heavy Competition
I'm in DC this week in meetings with my government team. I was able to catch a direct flight on United from SJC to IAD which is always nice. Last time, I had a stop over in Dallas and was caught in a thunderstorm fiasco.
Because of the long continuous...
