#1 Tim’s designer glasses. Both of us were killing time at a Rowland Heights shopping center and happened upon an overpriced eyewear retailer. Putting on earnest customer faces, Tim and I coaxed the hawkish salesperson into showing us a multitude of choices. Invoking the ancient ninja technique of team distraction, while I was asking questions regarding color and fit, Tim surreptitiously copied the serial numbers of the chosen frame(s). We ended up buying them for 2/3rd’s of the asking price direct from the interwebs.

#2 This has to be the coolest and simultaneously most overkill gaming mouse. Tim bought random things all the time, but his purchases shared one universal quality; fun.

#3 Working in SIlicon Valley does have its benefits. A particular one is a flexible spending account for medical necessities. The premise is simple, use up the credit, or lose it completely at the end of the year. So Tim decided to spend his at the dermatologist! I never realized how much Tim was into skin care.

#4 Tim ran on average 30 miles a week, roughly 5 miles a night with one day off for recovery. Here’s his souvenir for his first half marathon he ran in 2012.

#5 For a quick surge of cheap energy before each run, Tim would suck down one of these packs of gelatinized Gatorade.

#6 The last website Tim visited an hour before his accident, a map of Mt. Hamilton.
