This morning I woke up at about 7am feeling fine. However, after a short drive to drop Kade off, my nose started running like crazy and I started sneezing a lot. My nose had been running a little bit the night before, so I was convinced I had a cold. Consequently, because [...]

There’s an interesting AP article (CNN link here) that’s making the rounds about Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) and its “volunteer vacations”. For those who aren’t familiar with SHI, they do work in central America with sustainable agriculture. Often this involves working with local communities to plant trees, teach organic farming methods and just [...]

Well, it’s official, Best Buy is acquiring Speakeasy. I found out about this when Speakeasy sent me an email about it, being that I’m one of their customers. I can’t say I’m happy about this at all. I have a bad feeling that Best Buy is going to push Speakeasy as a [...]

If you’re seeing this post, the website move has worked. Moving the website itself including the database containing all the blog information was fairly painless and quick, but it will probably take some time for all the name resolution to work everywhere.

While meandering around Berkeley this afternoon, it occured to me that it was about 10 years ago (give or take a month) that I first really visited Berkeley. Sure, once in high school I was here for an hour or so shopping at record stores, but it wasn’t until I was visiting prospective colleges [...]

Last night at the party I was talking to Larry about my blog. Apparently, I can add him to the increasingly long list of people who periodically cannot access my blog. Apparently, when some people try to connect the browser simply times out. At the exact same time, others can connect without [...]

I arrived in Oakland on Friday night without too much trouble. Still, the bus driver on AirBART tried to rip me off by claiming I had only paid $2 (in quarters) of the $3 fare. After he realized I wasn’t going to be screwed out of another dollar, he let me on the [...]

Looks like I’m going to be in the Bay Area this weekend. I just bought a ticket, somewhat on a whim for Friday evening through Monday morning. A friend of mine has cancer and is probably getting surgery in the next couple weeks. I’m sure the surgery will go fine, but I [...]
