Sunday, April 29th, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO — A gasoline tanker truck crashed and exploded in a ball of flames early today, causing a 250-foot stretch of a major Bay Area freeway interchange to melt and collapse on a roadway below, authorities said.
Lovely. They’saying traffic could he impacted for months. I’m glad I don’t half to commute from the East [...]

Super Tuesday

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Good but crazy day at the office today. The morning was spent on releasing our ENDA Press Release and trying to send bulk mail with our new/temporary bulk email system (it didn’t work).
In the afternoon, Jennifer came to the office to help us brainstorm around one of our upcoming projects (applying her job skills as [...]

Buddy Movies and Books and Stuff

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Dammit, now I have to see Shaun of the Dead.
I just got home from Hot Fuzz and it was awesome. No, it was like awesome shoved into crazy-awesome’s ass and spanked by mega-awesome. It’s not a movie I would have checked out on my own, but Daniel really wanted to see it and I’m glad [...]

Work Rant o’ the Week

Friday, April 20th, 2007

An example of the insanity I have to deal with from time-to-time…
All week long, our website has been broken. Not on the user end, on the webmaster end. I thought I’d screwed something up last Friday and was more than happy to take the blame. I was upfront with everyone and admitted that it was [...]

I might wear that.

Friday, April 20th, 2007

While waiting for the BART this morning, I was staring at this ugly jacket…

Then I realized that the thing running up the middle back (and front) looked like Buffy’s Scythe. Then it clicked and I recognized that the jacket was decorated with Dark Horse Comics characters including a prominent placement of Fray. So now I’m [...]

Bits and Pieces

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

There are things happening in the world. I want to comment, but don’t feel up to it tonight. Damn workout and the tired-making. Of note, however:

BYU gets gay-friendly, or at least slightly less gay-hostile. I should call my cousin and tell her it’s okay for her to tell people that I’m a human being deserving [...]

Stunning photography.

Monday, April 16th, 2007

The 2007 Pulitzer Prizes were announced today. The winner for Feature Photography is Renée C. Byer of the Sacramento Bee. Her winning photography series is intense. As in, if you’re having a hard time today because of the Virginia Tech news, you might want to check the link later and save yourself some emotional devastation.

Weekend Wrap-up

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Despite the fact that I’ve never been to Cincinnati before, and I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone from Cincinnati until I started working with Jessica at Sundance, it now seems that an unusual number of my friends are Cincinnati to San Francisco transplants. This weekend, Ken and Jenna (friends of Jennifer and Daniel) moved [...]

Is this why two years of regular gym workouts and dieting have had limited results?

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Scientists may have identified the “fat” gene.
My favorite quote from the article:
Obesity is a main cause of heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. An adviser to the Government’s health spending watchdog said recently that the condition was a bigger national danger than smoking, alcohol or poverty.
Yes, but how does it rank up to gay [...]
