Flight canceled as SEA is snowed under, so back from SFO. Hoping to fly from OAK on Southwest tomorrow, but would cost twice as much. Boo.
Sorry, don't mean to be gloomy, just tired and stressed over traveling. But snow in the mountains will be fun. So happy holidays, people!
Virgin says my flight will be on time, but with rain here and snow in Seattle, I'm skeptical. And of course phones are down in Silverton.
Called an old friend in Pacifica, he's setting out crab traps from his kayak tomorrow morning and invited me for dinner at sunset. Epic win.
Pot roast, a good book and a bunch of virtual hugs worked their magic. Thanks for that! Making a big dent on todo list, off to post office.
Laid off, broken up, not sure where next month's rent is going to come from, much less health insurance or savings. Time to make pot roast.
The cupcakes are disappearing seconds after being set out at CupcakeCamp - picked clean like livestock crossing a river flush with pirhanas.
Best birthday gift? A visit to the DMV to replace my now-expired license! Maybe Santa will leave some collection notices under the tree.
On a porch swing as the sun goes down sipping homemade lemonade and reading the new Walter Mosley. Barbecue plans for dinner. Life is good.
@victortrac taught me how to ride one of the Segways he borrowed. Zipped around Hyde Park like I was G.O.B. From Arrested Development. Fun!
there's a Thrift Town and a Goodwill at Manchaca and Stassney. Former is organized better, latter has better finds and is a bit cheaper.
Woke up to a damp but otherwise splended morning in Austin. Coffee, then yum cha, then open galleries on the eastside is the plan so far.
@eveb Looking forward to snapping open my first copy of your fishwrap while waiting for the Muni. I'm certain you'll do The City proud!
Called T-Mobile customer support, awesomely nice woman in Beaumont got me a new phone and told me all about the weather in East Texas. Win.
@raquelita made me jealous. She visited the new Momofoku: http://tinyurl.com/5ugmbn I did eat deep-fried pickles last night, so there.
So bummed, the Kaiju Big Battel in SF tonight got cancelled. I'm guessing the evil machinations of Dr. Cube and his henchmen are to blame.
@glenda I have to say, covering Rick Astley songs karaoke-style in the Richmond is the hardest of the nerdcore. Rock and roll at G3!
Having started David Allen's Getting Things Done, I'm inspired to GTD -- in the World of Warcraft. Those monsters don't kill themselves.
@jonnodotcom by that calculation, I'm an expert late twentieth century American television programming and creative uses for Top Ramen.

Long time coming, yes, but still a long way to go
If Barack Obama is really a progressive candidate and not just the new face of the business interests that truly rule Washington, then together with the Democrats that now reign as a party there are some clear goals I’d like to see worked toward: Stop the drug war: Obama can’t do anything about mandatory sentencing or [...]
You’d better have 300,000 absentees up your sleeve, Los Angeles
The numbers have certainly improved over the course of the night, but I have to say, I’m more than a little disappointed in the results for Proposition 8 in Los Angeles County. I mean, I’m really disappointed in Tulare county, yet that was to be expected — the Angelino vote was the heartbreaker. [...]

MacBook with VLC playing Ugly Betty in Mac OS X, Debian installing in VMware Fusion full-screen on the external monitor. The old blue, bubble iMac has been retired to the closet. For now.

The City is Poorer Without PJ Corkery
It’s been a month since journalist and author PJ Corkery died of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but somehow I just found out today. He was incredibly kind and generous to me when I was an upstart punk of a blogger trying to make a name for SFist — responding to my emails, mentioning our work in [...]
Assorted reviews from the North Cascades
Yes, all I did in the mountains was a minimal share of chores and maximized my time reading trash, cooking heavily and sleeping lightly. To all whom I made an oath of work ethic, I apologize. Meanwhile, I’ll try to share what I learned in terms of wonderfully lazy reading and deliciously cheap [...]
