Elizabeth Hikock, via Boing Boing That Loop Radio is 106.9 and had some new stuff on it today that I found really, really funny. The mystery is that something is going on… Free FM OK not so mysterious, but a kind of great stunt, and I’ve enjoyed the content, despite it being a big bohemoth […]

Peets on Beach The testing of all the bakery items will now commence: – cinnamon roll. Good, not too sweet. Similar to what my Mom makes, which is quite good. Almost too large. – chocolate scone.

They flew out from Golden Gate Bridge, towards Mt. Tam, to Alcatraz, out to San Pablo […]

House of Pain Can you write an entire book about a life going to dentists? Because that would be the book of my life. I have gone through 5 dentists. I spent 3 hours in the chair today, 3 hours lost out of my life! I have profound respect for the technical developments of oral […]

I have travelled so much for work, that working here is unique to me. A couple of reasons why it’s weird to work near where you live, from a chronic business traveller: 1. I describe evening activities and people know what I’m talking about 2. I can bring food from home, but I don’t, as […]
