A Tour of Digg

A funny video that I just saw. Notice Aubrey, Jay Adelson, and Kevin Rose.

Shining City

Great play now playing in San Francisco at the SF Playhouse. here. This play by Conor McPherson is really great. Set in modern-day Dublin, it is basically a collection of monologues where each character does not talk to the audience directly but to an intermediary. This adds a layer of complexity...

The evolution of Hope from 1999 to 2008

Yesterday the NY Times had an interesting article on Silicon Valley. Apparently, we are getting ready for the economic crisis. Click here to see it. I beg to differ. and I would love to rest my case with a picture: I have been seeing all the bad signs I saw in 1999/2000 again this year. I just had...

A weekend in San Francisco

We arrived Thursday afternoon and got right out for a walk to North Beach. By the time we got to Sts. Peter and Paul church is was closed; but we enjoyed some time hanging out in the adjacent Washington Square Park. It was a perfect day. For dinner, I chose a place in keeping with the opera theme of...

Boysenberries and Friday Kahlo

This past weekend was much better than the one before it, no opossums or anything like that. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has been exhibiting Frida Khalo's work all spring and summer, and this was the last weekend they were showing them. Of course, me being part of the procrastinating...

MBV :: Loveless

9/30/2008 You' re hereby strongly encouraged to get one ping down & pull up LOVELESS on Rhapsody. Listen to it only once. Note the polyaural textures of fuzzy tremolo and crisp chord progressions. Pay attention to the meandering on SOMETIMES. And the reverse low altitude fly-bys on TO HERE KNOWS...

Christmas in September

I've had a crazy busy couple of weeks. I think I last blogged about the possibility of a pool party in Marin and going to a housewarming party the night before - all of those things happened. The housewarming party turned into a drunken Friday night with a bunch of guys in attendance who semi-like...

i blame the atmosphere change

Posted with limited commentary because I'm exhausted and anything posted about this trip by mid-this week is so passe. I'd have to wait at least six months to post anything about this trip again after say, Wednesday of this coming week. I'm gonna hold myself to that. Ed and I always say we have a...

Death of a Honda

After my lunch with jason on Tuesday, I was leaving and waiting to turn right on Harrison (right at Coco500), i was rear-ended by a sf-owned truck: The damage, as seen here on the left. It might not really look too bad, but since it's a 1988 vehicle, I will probably have to endure the misery of it...

REUNION TRIP - CALIFORNIA AUG 08

I feel that this year is my reunion year. And I have to fly to other parts to meet up with old friends. The main people are my canoe mates from JC, accidental ones are other friends who made this trip more memorable.

amazing..

.sitting working at midnight thinking my neighbors are playing their music too loud, so I open the front door, and I swear I hear Elvis Costello and the Attractions playing 'what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding' at Kezar stadium or something. I mean...it's definitely not the neighbors...

The Tasting Panel / Wine & Spirits magazine hosts The SF International Wine Competition '08 winners

The SF International Wine Competition '08 gold and double gold award winners were tasty at The Tasting Panel's review of their wines. The Mandarin Oriental was a gorgeous setting in their library, and we were even escorted from the door to the tasting. It was a unique tasting for me, as I used to...

Flashbacks

Among the tonnes of pictures that I am trying to reorder after the holiday there are 4 videos that I forgot... few seconds to go back in different times and different places...4 flashbacks...a bar in San Francisco, where live music was played...that was our first night out, then driving thru the...

CONDOM GRENADE

I felt a little dirty just taking this photo. In wandering through a park I noticed this little girl had found a used condom and was happily filling it with sand. I have no idea where her parents were or what the story was - but she was happy as a clam just jamming sand in that thing. Also, I think...

i'm too old for this.

I spent my day vomiting off what happened after this video. Part 2 should be with you shortly.

good timing

I woke up this morning thinking about my trip to the west coast at the end of the week, and I couldn't help but feel like something is going to go wrong and it won't work out. I then decided that now would be a good time to tune up the synchronizing the arriving/departing/arriving/departing...

note from 4 aug 08

arrived 2 days ago, on a early morning flight from saigon via hong kong. I had overslept n nearly missed my flight if not for the slow service of the check in counter. after a 16hr flight on ua, I arrived in a nice historic hotel . I can't believe that i'm in america, somehow the scenes on the way...

Mountain man

I was walking down the street and saw this piece of garbage out of the corner of my eye. My first thought was banana slug. Apparently I've been hiking in the woods too much.
