OT: Dear Bill….

I count myself among your biggest fans. Not just before your presidency, but during. And arguably even more so after. And that is why I felt it important to write to you today, as one of your biggest fans, to say that I think you are severely fucking up on behalf of your wife.
I registered [...]

Something’s In the Air…

…and it’s MacWorld 2008 at the Moscone Center.
Seems like the entire tech community has descended on The City to see Steve-O present the latest in Apple wizardry, complete with a rather strange finale in a song by none other than Randy Newman.
The ‘real’ Steve Jobs didn’t disappoint the hordes of Apple fans in attendance at [...]

Frank Chu Gets Down

So, out shopping and generally enjoying the holiday merriment today, and ran into Frank Chu (shocker). I introduced him to Christine and moved on with our Union-Squarish activities. As we were coming back and hit Market though, we ran into what appeared to be an impromptu Solid Gold dance session on the street, with 40 [...]

OT: Sunday Morning. China Basin Park. iPhone. Bliss.

Just thought we’d share.

Christmas Hits San Francisco - Hilarity Ensues

Okay, maybe hilarity didn’t ensue, but Christmas has definitely hit The City.
I took a stroll down to Union Square this evening to take in the sights and walk off a rough and difficult day, and was richly rewarded. The tree was magnificent as always (and, of course, environmentally friendly courtesy of PG&E), and Macy’s has [...]

OT: My Mom Got DSL Today…

…and I haven’t had this much fun in a long time.
We hung out on YouTube for a while, and now we’re setting up her gmail account.
This rocks.

San Francisco Bans Plastic Grocery Bags

So I found out yesterday that plastic bags have been banned from grocery stores in The City. Apparently, this move was approved by the City Council at the beginning of this year, but I wasn’t aware of it until I went into the grocery store last night and they made a big deal out of [...]

I Feel Guilty That I Paid Nothing for the Radiohead Album

I’m not a huge Radiohead fan. I like a lot of their older stuff, but have definitely not kept up - ‘cept for buying Kid A at some point, I think.
But this new album is really good, actually. I think In Rainbows one of their best albums, and it’s passed the acid test of ‘more [...]

OT: I Can Haz Vizshun?

Though I’m still not completely convinced that it is actual medical science and not instead a craftily-disguised deal with the devil consummated somewhere within the myriad documents I was compelled to sign, I made the leap and had LASIK surgery yesterday.
Today, I went for my follow-up appointment in the morning, and the doctor was surprised [...]

This City May Not Have 330 Days of Sunshine…

…but it does have a lot of cool people.
Take the optometrist that I went to tonight because my glasses broke in half yesterday. Not only was I seen on a few hours’ notice, but I also got to hang out with a cool pug/bulldog/chihuahua mix as I did. She particularly enjoyed laying on my bag [...]
