I was procrastinating on my job search, reading the craigslist missed connections – something I highly recommend for entertainment value. There was a posting about “the girl at the Dan Deacon show last night,” the usual stuff about I saw you dancing and thought you were hot but I didn’t have the courage and this [...]
Yesterday Lisa and I ran the Santa Cruz half-marathon. It was a gorgeous day, though a little warm. The high was 90 degrees, tying a record high set in 1906 (the day after The Big One, in fact). It was surely in the 80’s by the time we finished the race. That’s about as warm [...]
… spend their entire day trying to obtain tickets to the Green Day “secret” show tomorrow at the Fox Theater in Oakland?
I tried winning them via Live 105 many times, and I tried to buy them as soon as they went on sale at 5PM.
Alas, no joy.
Just came back from the Grand Lake Farmer’s Market, and I’m so happy I just have to share my joy.

Every Tuesday, during the season, Bob recruits from among his guests to do trail-building. Bob has been doing [...]
I have a lot of very smart friends. That’s why I think it’s funny that it took four e-mails for me to explain to an unnamed friend that even though I am turning 37, the upcoming year would in fact be my “38th year” not my 37th year. It’s a common mistake.
Looking forward to dinner [...]
My dashboard tells me this is my 100th post. Hmmm.
Went to see Slumdog Millionaire today. I’m only going to give it a B. It’s good, but it’s just not great. I was hoping that the stories behind how he knew the answers would be more compelling, but they were not. Without giving too much away, [...]
