Day job: I'm slogging towards a technical milestone in low-cost, high-quality portable autorefractor development for my start-up OptiOpia, which I described to you in April 2006 at Little St. Jeff's. We're making two gadgets, one to simplify determining the right corrective lens prescription -- an auto-refractor, and one to make single-vision, high-quality plastic lenses on-demand, on-the-spot, in five minutes. Most of an optician-shop on the back of a motorcycle or in the corner of a retail health goods store (Mexican or Chinese Duane Reade). I'm looking sporadically for consulting income and side projects to stimulate me intellectually. If the company had more money, I'd be less of a project engineer and more of a business nerd but I've got to conserve cash. I've got three great contract engineers to do various parts of the optical, mechanical and electronic engineering of this (very roughly speaking) digital camera like device, but not enough cash to safely engage them...so I'm doing as much as possible. Life: Living in San Francisco. I'm pretty healthy. I have many bright friends, but mostly engineering types, not too intellectually curious. I just started dating a woman who's finishing her UC Berkeley PhD in climate policy -- and making a pretty devastating critique of some scammy parts of cap and trade. Brother Benjamin's doing fine: three kids! Mother's ok but her partner's got bladder cancer. Marty Silverman, the genius scientist you met in 1992, and who recruited me to St Louis' Washington U. Med School, died two weeks ago of lung cancer that went to his brain, cruelly enough. Another friend of mine, Erin Liedle sells high-end interior design furniture etc. in San Francisco; she sold a pretty significant amount of furniture to Van Acker last year, she told me this weekend. Erin is super-ethical, professional, thoughtful and kind: a very high-quality person. Obviously, she enjoys working with gay folks!

The company's focus is on $30-100MM homes/estates in SF Bay Area, and perhaps as far away as Napa, and I infer a Pritzker son has been one of the customers he's taken care of. FYI, if you ever wish to talk with someone with that experience whom I know fairly well, I'll set it up. Cheers, David EFTA00733488 David Grosof "Hope your life is filled with wonderful music, too.
