Best of Halloween Video
Category: halloween
My friend Steve sent me a DVD with highlights from his past Halloween parties. I figured I'd do my part toward making 25,000 journals by posting it here. You might recognize some of these shots from (e:Twisted,36393) Ghost of Halloween Past post.



Have a great Halloween, everyone!

If she did that would be so awesome.

I wish you could come to the halloween party so bad.

Google Dance
I will FINALLY get to verify a bit of Google-lure first-hand. Namely, heated toilet seats at Googleplex world headquarters. You can bet your bottom-dollar my tushy will be the judge!

I really didn't do anything to deserve this honor, other than register as a platinum (whatever that means) attendee to the Search Engine Strategies conference. Mostly I'm having major flashbacks to the last time I was in San Jose to drop (e:Paul) off at his conference. Not much has changed since then, I'm sorry to say.

I wish (e:Paul) and (e:Iriesara) could join me this time!

Catching up with the boys
If a picture is worth 1000 words, and a blog is approximately 1638 words, then this entry = 9.7 blogs.

I have approximately 3 dozen spots for cats. But suddenly Oscar believes the only place for him is exactly wherever Filippe is.

I finally pulled out my sewing machine. The cats really like to be helpful with creative projects.

Whoa, at first I re-read you had 3 dozen cats. Those cats are cute but not as cute as squiddy, lol. How did you end up with so many, I thought they moved to england
twisted - 07/07/08 22:08
I know! Is that crazy or what?

ps -- iriesara, pookie sends his love too! Hope you can come visit again soon!
metalpeter - 07/07/08 17:55
Nice cat pictures. Cats are both cool and strange all at the same time, some things they do make no sense at all. At the same time they are social animals so it makes for odd behavior.
iriesara - 07/07/08 12:21
Oh, and my love to pookie, of course!
iriesara - 07/07/08 12:20
What happened to good old fashioned envelopes?!? I would never just put a bunch of loose bills through a mail slot, that's retarded.
paul - 07/07/08 00:05
What happend to good old fashioned checks.

MapJack

You too can take a virtual ride down Lombard Street (or anywhere in SF and beyond)!

Nice drive-by shot of City Hall. I wonder if I could recreate my bike ride to work every day? It's extra cool right now with all the rainbow flags flanking Market Street.

They captured my house the day the sidewalk was being repaired (April 12, 2007). I didn't get to see it in person because I was in Italy, right after (e:Paul), (e:Matthew) and (e:Hodown) visited. Hey Paul & Matt, maybe you can recreate your walk through Golden Gate Park to the Pacific Ocean. Who knows, you might even show up in some shots if they were grabbing images then. Plus, it's easier on the legs, haha.

ps--Too bad I left my car in Alameda while I was gone or my estrip bumper sticker could've been captured in a digital time capsule!

mapjack is nice, but I don't know what their business model is. Their coverage is limited to SF and a few other places.

And they don't know how to avoid tourist busses: :::link::: (my apt is behind this stupid bus).

Another Day, Another Protest
Category: olympics
Weird day. Much to say about it! Here are some pix.

I was glad to see my regular parking spot was available, considering all the hoopla!

View from my office of the plaza where the torch was supposed to end up.

image
Crowd at the ferry terminal clock tower.

Close-up of protesters. They don't look that scary!

image
Yeah, I did get to see the torch. On streaming video.

ps--I did tell you all about the cats right? They're still here . . .

Here is what I find interesting Many Years ago the Beastie Boys would talk about how Tibet should be free and no one listened and no one cared and no one in this country gave a shit. But now there games in China and a torch to protest so it is a big deal. And guess what will happen after the games end this summer it will be back to no one caring or at least no media coverage.

Nice Pictures by the way. Maybe I missed the post about the cats. One of them kinda reminds me of my sister's cat a little bit and the black and white one looks a bit like (e:theecarey)'s cat a little bit.

I went by there every day while I was there for work - I never thought I was going to see palm trees in northern Cali.
jon - 04/10/08 09:25
First... nice office view. =)

Second... the politics surrounding the olympics this year is at least as entertaining as watching our own government's presidential race. Well, at least to me.
