decisions, decisions
Maybe I should start out with something easy like:
"Popcorn maker for movie days at homeless shelter"
or
"Pub Crawl Tour Leader" (?!!!)
Although I was thinking more along the lines of:
"STOP BAY AREA KIDS FROM GOING TO PRISON!"
That sounds like a good use of time. Especially considering a gang of potential lawbreakers is even now whooping it up at the playground next to my building. (No offense, kids.)
Although, some of these other options are just so intriguing, like:
"Shamefree Blogger in San Francisco" (I'm shamefree all right, but not for lack of trying).
"Volunteer Victim for Advanced Medical Life Support Class" (Get felt-up by a stranger for charity).
But mostly I'm leaning towards a rash of postings for the Neighborhood Parks Council's new online Park Kiosk, including:
"Building a Flickr Presence on our New (DRUPAL) Web Site"
"GIS-KML-Google Earth Pro Volunteer"
"Photo-Journalism/Social Documentation"
Maybe I'll do one "fun" thing and one "socially responsible" thing. Since the juvenile delinquents of tomorrow are already at the neighborhood park, that could work out.

check it out!
EXACTLY! Hallelujah! It finally works again! I have no idea why, but who cares.
Just in the nick of time too, since my new online banking site (I decided opening a joint account with my new TIC partner would be a good opportunity to switch my personal accounts too) doesn't like Safari. Their tech support was actually very responsive. But when I told them my text settings were not causing the problem (see gigantic navigation buttons filling the entire screen below), they told me what I knew was coming all along. The problem is I'm using a Beta version of Safari. (Or at least, that's their out.)
They suggested I use Firefox, or revert back to Safari 2. Obviously, I'd rather slit my wrists than revert back to Safari 2. So I gave Firefox another go.
Amazing. I have another lease on life. If only I could find the time to have a life...

My niece is a rock star
Snap shot from the Exploratorium Roof Cam. That's my niece in the middle with her (WIKIPEDIA - Webkinz)Webkinz cat, Fluffy, on her head.
p.s. -- next time I'll know where to park my car so my estrip bumper sticker can be in the shot, haha.
