I’m going to take the tent and camping backpack out to the car–we’re leaving early tomorrow for Twin Falls, Idaho.

One of the downsides of the web 2.0 social networking and social bookmarking sites is the need for some sort of civil order. I’ve been surprised, actually, in how relatively mild the intra-site nastiness has been overall. Of course there have been some nasty things on Myspace like radio shock jock Laura Schlessinger’s son’s page.

Lately I’ve been telling Jessica how much I like Feedburner, but it is hard to explain why you need another subscription feed when most blogs output one or two or three feeds automatically. But that’s why Feedburner is successful–because even in its free acoounts it allows a very cool range of features for optimizing […]

These are some companion photos to podcast #5.

Gavin Newsom must not want his drunk ass knocked off his bike when riding through the TL.
We need safe streets so the mayor can find biking an acceptable alternative to drinking. It must be why that fashionable “broken windows” or whatever theory (which among other things gives Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani credit for […]

We really love Mountain Lake Park–and though this nighttime picture offers just an impression of a mysterious lagoon with Highway 1 in the background, these other pictures give a sense of the beauty and views of wildlife that the park offers.

Power back on in the Outer Richmond here after shutting off briefly about half an hour ago.

Jessica’s taking off for work–already? Really?? Well I guess.

This amazing photo comes to us via Webshots.

Jessica is watching ‘The Bachelor’ and I’m eating almond M&Ms–almond, not peanut, those are my ththat means I’ve gone native in California.

Setting up Google Apps on my site: subdomain emails for all, I guess.

Hey people I follow–insofar as you see this–you are content providers in the sidebar of my blog in the widget. Very cool–so stay cool!

I was really into song lyrics, taking them seriously sometimes et al, in high school but later on I didn’t but now I get into trance lyrics

Listening to Gareth Emery podcast #30–enjoying the music–dreading listening to ‘listener email’ segment–maybe I’ll remember to skip past

Jessica is going to work out–I got my new Feedburner feed all set w/preview box, pinging, whatevr

The Jonathan Ojeda mix from the Beatport promotion for the LoveFest 2006 San Francisco is rocking out my headphones..what’s left of these!!

And we’re staying in Idaho on the way: Twin Falls: May 24

Jessica and I had a nice night out walking and getting sushi. It was a new place for us: Sakana Bune in San Francisco.   Before our dinner we walked around Baker Beach, and on the way out there I took a photo […]

In this fourth edition we see the same old man as in podcast #3 (the last three clips of the old man [”ANYTHING?”/”Yeah sure…”/”Anything for the hat?”] are new footage from a few days after the first few clips–but can you even tell?) and then we see a […]

We discuss Twitter, Digg and David Petraeus and show clips from the ‘How Weird Faire,’ downtown and the local Richmond neighborhood: download the podcast file (5 1/2 minutes 60MB .mpg)

Colorful fish swim all around one another with turtles and ducks (the ducks are actually in the wings of this photo–they’re visible in this picture from the same pond) looking for their share of the fodder for themselves.

Gordon Brown’s comments in recent days make it clear that he intends to move away from Tony Blair’s mistaken, uncritical support of America’s current foreign policy. As reported in the New York Times on May 11:
‘Bolstered by a long-awaited endorsement from Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Britain’s prime minister-in-waiting, moved quickly on Friday […]

I was taking a handful of photos in groups, with the pretense for doing it being that I wanted to put up some slide shows on the web and I’d heard a lot about the online photo services lately, some of which I hadn’t tried […]

Jessica and I checked out the show last night at the Supper Club in San Francisco, where rising Dutch DJ superstar Fedde le Grand entertained a highly enthusiastic crowd.

Definitely the best DJ we’ve seen in a long time.

Then twenty or so widgets on my site are just twenty or so widgets.  Do I have a weakness for them, or all they all just so necessary for a modern blog that I would be missing out being without any single one of them?
I enjoyed Jessica’s commentary about widgetbox.com, which reads in part:
‘As a […]

I’ve put “Simple Tagging 1.6.2″ on the blog now–yes Wordpress has categories included, which are very useful, but this plug-in adds a separate tag functionality (and then mashes them all back together for the feed at the end of the day). Though I can’t say I find the plug-in very simple, it looks like […]

We checked out the “Howard/How Weird Street Faire” today in SoMa.  Different stages were set up with DJs.  I enjoyed the psy-trance music section, and then Jessica and I hung out in the sun next to the breakdancing floor–it was really festive, but the heat was intense–an extremely sunny, hot day for San Francisco.

It won’t […]
