Thanksgiving 2007
I'm playing around with posting videos on myspace. Hazel turned 18 months on Thanksgiving this year. We did our annual pilgrimage to Cinda and Dave's house for turkey and fixins. We couldn't stay long enough to play games but Hazel did help wash up after dinner. (video removed) Despite having a cold she was pretty… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2007
Media companies really shouldn’t let this strike drag out
The writers strike has temporarily saved me from staring zombie-like from my slouched position on the couch, and instead has me typing zombie-like from a differently-slouched position on my couch. After seeing a couple of mildly amusing clips from on-strike writers (from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report), I was curious enough to poke… Continue reading Media companies really shouldn’t let this strike drag out
Inflated house prices
I like reading Paul Kedrosky's Infectuous Greed blog, even if I think he occasionally says some things that are completely moronic. One reason I do, though, is the occasonal food for thought, like this post on inflated house prices.

For those of you who don't watch South Park - one of the characters, Stan, gets this pet goldfish which turns out to be evil and kills people. No - that's not Hazel's new trick 🙂 In one scene Stan is trying to… Continue reading Spookyfish in San Francisco
Orkut is in Alexa’s Top 10 sites…wtf?
Google's social networking site Orkut was the coolest thing since sliced bread back in early 2004. It was a social network that actually had interesting people on it. It had a fun user interface. And then, the reliability problems kicked in, and then the Brazilians invaded every corner of it. So just about everyone I… Continue reading Orkut is in Alexa’s Top 10 sites…wtf?
San Francisco continued…
The Weekend - Sept 9th and 10th We rented a car for the weekend to see some things we couldn't get to easily by walking or public transportation. Saturday we went north and crossed the Golden Gate bridge into Sausasilto before heading south to check out west San Francisco. On the way over to the… Continue reading San Francisco continued…
Live from San Francisco
Monday Sept 4th So we made it down here uneventfully and even lucked out and were able to take Hazel's car seat on the plane even tho' we didn't pay for an extra seat - it wasn't a full flight! She slept until right before landing and Rob was able to calm her down enough… Continue reading Live from San Francisco
