The sun came out this morning after pouring yesterday and I found it fitting.
I woke up this morning, early, for the first time in a week, to get in early, to skip lunch, to leave early, to buy Obama/Biden buttons from the SF street vendor outside the BART, to vote, to get food and to [...]

Okay, was going to blog about Seattle, but the past hour and a half has to be put down first:
So I landed in Boston and caught the last T out from the Airport (win!) met with the Green Line over to the Red (win!)… and then watched the last T to Kendall Square leave (fail)
I’m [...]

Never flown first class before. I see the appeal.
Am writing a substantive blog on the plane. Have this weird feeling of “Aw, adventure over” and “Yay new adventure” at the same time.

Pictures, including those of the Boston Tea Party, are now up on flickr….
Right here
Meanwhile, I have a new place to live (pretty sure) in North Berkeley! I am building a server so as to retire my current one and reduce the number of boxes I have… and life continues.
Also — Wordpress 2.5 == w00t.
And PicLens [...]

…Tell me your own politik
It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten fired up about politics.
Aside from local skirmishes here and there, such as the tree sitters, I haven’t really given a damn since 2004. Even 2006 and the Dems winning back Congress was sort-of nice-but-not-interesting.
I’ve become complacent in being a Berkeley moderate. Which is [...]

Thursday was awesome.
I got myself down to SOMA to go to a justin.tv tech-talk. Sure, they were talking about OAuth (which is pretty much a nice standard for authenticating to share data on the web) but of much more interest was who “they” are. But let’s back up.
The point of my going down there was [...]

Let me show you them.
I have new pictures up! 34 of them even. (Finally….)

This covers the rest of summer, Yahoo Hack Day, the New Pornographers concert, and the Embarcadero Lighting Ceremony.
I think this brings me current. It’s good to be current.
Go. Comment. Have fun. I’m going to sleep.
(You can always see what’s new by viewing [...]

Better make this quick; a fan in my laptop is dying and I’m going to call Apple on Monday; it’s momentarily fine, but it’s easily repeatable and needs fixing before the shit hits the fan. *drumfill*
Got my car an oil change today, then swung by Mekka. (Funny story — there’s free wireless, but it comes [...]

Earlier tonight, at Mari and Evelyn’s housewarming party…
This toast is a little nerdy, so you’ll have to excuse me.
Groans and laughs of expectation
There’s an old saying that goes “May your house always be too small to hold all your friends.”
Aww.
Now as we know from thermodynamics:

…Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Saw the incoming freshman from GV to Cal this weekend. That made me feel old; along with all the festivities surrounding graduation. Next year I graduate. This scares me.
The past week has been a mixed bag with regard to dancing. Last Thursday was awesome. This Thursday [...]
