I’m in San Jose, California, for some meetings with my incredible team. Few pictures, as much of our time was in conference rooms, but we did take a day for a fun excursion to the Roaring Camp Railroad in the redwoods near Santa Cruz.

Since I last visited Adobe’s offices in San Jose, we’ve opened a new office building called the Founders Tower.

Adobe, San Jose, California

The office is about two miles from the end of the main runway at SJC, which makes for fun close-ups from below:

A commercial jet airliner passes overhead in a clear blue sky above a modern glass office building bearing the red Adobe logo, seen from a landscaped rooftop terrace in downtown San Jose. Neighboring glass towers frame the view, with Comerica Bank and City National Bank signage visible on buildings in the background.

This is a working 110-year-old steam engine. When you boil plain old water, you get a lot of mineral build-up, so periodically they use the high pressure of the water to blow the minerals out from the engine. Like this:
