Welcome!

For whatever reason, you've decided to visit my web server and me in lovely San Jose, California, the third-largest and first-dullest city in California.™

Wes is short for Wesley, which comes from my dad's Methodist upbringing. Kashiwagi is Japanese and translates as "oak tree," although I'm a terminal branch on the family tree.

I know this site's design is starting to show its age since it was built in 1999. Be gentle.

Webguild Design Contest
I won, and the good people who run the Webguild in San Jose implemented my design, but it's since been replaced by an ugly blog of some sort.

Restaurant reviews

San Jose, San Francisco, Hyderabad, etc. Bringing you my unbridled, biased, and often typo-ridden opinions since 1997.

Vietnamese Beef Seven Ways Dinner
Yes, we tried to eat it all just between the two of us. Read about all seven lovely courses. (FYI: I repeated this in January and it was still fun to do.)

Kaiseki Dinner at Hatcho Restaurant in Santa Clara
So authentic, I have no idea what it is or how to eat it. See what happens to two sanseis who finally splurge on a kaiseki dinner More>

My resume

What I Do
I'm a Sr. Director of Marketing, usually of the online/web/digital variety.

Lately I've also been doing some mobile application UI/UE design, which has been great fun.

Spartan-Keyes Neighborhood
I've moved into the Spartan-Keyes neighborhood in San Jose, which is home to some of the best Vietnamese, Salvadorian, and Mexican restaurants, pho restaurants, sandwich shops, pupusarias, taquerias, and grocery stores in town. It also has a thumping bass, thanks to the kids that drive through here.
