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!

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!

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.





Rare photos of all three cats together:



Oscar in a box and on a pup:




ps -- Looks like the rent arrived...

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!

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.


Crowd at the ferry terminal clock tower.


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


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 . . .
