Vegoose 2007 – Are you going?

It looks like we’ll be hitting up Vegoose for our third year. We like this fest, as it’s in Vegas, so there’s always something to do, and it ‘s just a hop-skip-jump away from us in San Francisco. The Halloween theme is fun and the weather is always good, of course. And such a varied [...]

Australia – the adventure is close!

It’s almost time for me to go to Australia!!! Woohoo! The adventure begins in just three weeks. Today I finished our travel plans up, which included five flights, a car rental, a sailing cruise, a few hostels and travel insurance! We’ll be visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Mission Beach and the Whitsunday Islands (i.e. Great Barrier Rief). [...]

So, what’s the three letter airport code for Space?

Check this out… This website claims that $20k reserves you a spot on a ship to space. Don’t believe me? Read for yourself. Apparently this thing is legit… The company is Virgin Galactic, and it’s story is rather interesting. Play on the site to learn more. And no, you don’t get to go to the [...]

Websites and Muni and POWER – Oh my!

So it looks like downtown San Francisco had a bit of a negative jolt this morning – losing juice to all the major important stuff downtown. Interesting to learn that half of the critical buildings downtown are all wired on the same circuit. Well, shit happens. But wait! It gets better. 365 Main, the indestructible, [...]

STS9, Biscuits, SCI, oh my!

Well that was awesome. Two full days of music @ the Greek Theater, which has got to be the most fun venue in the area. It was hot hot hot, though. Pics will be up on the website tonight.

Earthquake on 7/20/07…

Anyone feel the one this morning? I continue to sleep through these. Is that a bad thing? Small quake on 7/20/07

Come visit me – Virgin America gives you no excuse!

OK you pesky New Yorkers… You no longer have an excuse not to come visit. For $238 (that’s not a lot for a flight out here) you can fly cross country from New York to San Francisco on the new, absolutely gorgeous Virgin America. This airline looks freakin awesome. They spent entirely too much time [...]

Alltunes / AllOfMp3.com lives!

So if you haven’t checked out Alltunes.com / AllOfMp3.com, I think you should. Not because it’s a controversial site that involves possibly violating copyright laws, but because it’s a fascinating attempt at distributing music on the Internet for very low prices – that’s been HIGHLY successful. As usual, rather then embrace this model, music companies [...]

Wine Bus 2007 and other photos…

So I am finally getting around to posting the literally thousands of pictures I have. Previously I tried to do it while commenting on every pic, but alas, it’s too time consuming. So I’m just doing a mass upload/dump for now into categories and later I will go through and add comments on some of [...]

My new Mac Powerbook

So I’ve officially switched. I bought the Mac Powerbook to try and familiarize myself with Macs so we could officially support them, since many of our customers at work are demanding Mac support. I wanted to “get it.” I really thought, as a power user, that I would hate the thing. Alas, I’m done with [...]
