Here are some of the pics from San Francisco in no particular order.
Okay, this one was before the trip. I finally cut off my hair. I feel free. There was a video of the process but unlike the old days of the smaller audience I think it is no longer appropriate.
there was this magazine on the plane with furniture in Nice, France that make syour whole house into a rock garden. I want it so bad.
(e:matthew) really did not like flying. The two hours of severe turbulence didn't help. I was liek the plane was going to rip apart. My neck hurt from the stress of thinking I was gonna die plus the jarring motion of it whipping around. We didn't even have service or sound for like 2 hours.
People bring their dogs and cats on planes in their backpacks nowadays. As an alergy sufferere this makes me mad.
I thought Dave Doyle would like this. I know he likes messed up signs.
This one too.
On Saturday (e:hodown) arrived
Here is the goldengate bridge
These boat houses cost more than double the cost of the mansion.
Alcatraz from telegraph hill.
Yummy Seafood
Lots of no dumping signs with junk in the grates.
At the conference today I was scared that an earthquake would crash down the part I was in.
A delorian maybe?
I love Aroma Tea Shop at 302 6th avenue
(e:hodown) already opened up a restaurant here.
Lombard street is twisty
Do you think the workers really get the $1 surcharge per plate? No where else had one.
From North of the bridge
This is the Palace of Fine Arts. I felt at home being a master of fine arts.
(e:twisted) had lots of yummy snacks for us.
this pic of (e:matthew) is for (e:terry)

Web Design WorldCategory: conference
Well day one took us through the CSS you'd learn in intro to web design. Hopefully, something more exciting will be on the plate for tommorow. This woman in front of me asked the man next to her what a 'div' is.
It's nice to find out most of the choices (e:enknot) and I have made are also backed by other industry professionals.
The food was tasty. I even got my own personal size chocolate cake. Somehow a pigeon got into the conference. I fed it some cookies.
These dolls are so damn freaky.

I am worried about Surebert for you - I would try to take steps to protect it if you can.

so does that mean you're really smart because you developed your own, or really dumb because you didn't use someone else's? ;)

ruby on railsCategory: conference
This has become a ruby in rails promtion event. which is fine with me. The speaker just went off how hard php is to maintain because it's all speghetti code. The way he talked about it, it seemed like the only php code he saw was code that hobby programmers wrote for php3.
Woman1: this is crazy. It used to be an event that promoted microsoft. Didn't he see how many peole raised their hand for .net
woman2: well, I am going to try ruby if it's the future.
woman1: I don' think microsoft will support it. All our servers are microsoft, and it's too expensive to switch.
hahaha

So I made itCategory: conference
I am at the san fran web design world conference now despite freaking out about thinking I was enrolled n the wrong connference.
They just asked developers what they are using. Hands went up and percentages you would expect for microsoft's .net, php,and java technology. What surprised me that only like two people raised their hands for rails. I was totally surprised.
Did you guys know tthat less than 5% of people publish more than once a week on their blogs?

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing them. There is nothing wrong with studding Bay Area alternative medicines and personely trying each one out to find out what the effects are.
I think he had pressing pharmaceutical duties to attend to. Maybe next time he can substitute credit on an independent study of Bay Area alternative medicines, haha.
btw why is poor (e:terry) not on this lovely vacation? poor baby. :(
i like your new haircut.
I'm really having a much better time than paul's photos seem to show. :)
Hey (e:terry) - I will try to return them in the same condition I received them in. you are sore missed here too, believe-you-me. next time?
p.s. - Hey (e:iriesara)!
The Delorean actually is a Porsche I think, but it must have an impressive flux capacitor to get up those steep SF hills.
"SF minimum wage surcharge?" Haha - now that is a hustle that I haven't heard of yet. There's no way that the extra money is going to the workers, and most restaurants wouldn't bother with an idea like this - they simply increase the price of the plates directly.
I hope that you are enjoying your time!
Yes, I bought the blue oolong tea! Now, let's see how long it takes me to actually send it lol. That is the hard part.
Did you get me any tea you bastard? I sent you an email a couple weeks ago....blue people oolong, please...no really, I mean it.
Love to Matt Lisa & Jess!
Is that (e:lilho) in that last pic or what?
She musta left her double with me. Looks like all goes well in St. Frank's land, glad to see (e:matthew) recovered and (e:hodwn) alive! You are sore missed here, but at least we can live a bit vicariously through our journaling experiences. Hi (e:twisted), thanks for taking in my roustabouts for a while.
