50-100-50 Challenge – #1
Last night I discovered that my friend Mathew has a blog, and I mentioned that he should update it. So this morning I found that he posted about the 50-100-50 challenge, which I hadn’t heard of. The idea is that you post 50 entries with at least 100 words over 50 days. Now, even though…
Read MoreBack to the Beach
We went to the dog beach again yesterday. Leigh and Sammy (Joe’s girlfriend) joined us. Joe didn’t run around as much as he did last time, but I think we all still had fun. Steve buried Sammy in the sand – she just sat there and let him do it like a good little doggy.…
Read MoreWood Grain Trend
Browsing around on the web lately I’ve noticed what may possibly be an up and coming trend. I found several sites incorporating wood grain, and several others going after a real-world texture style. Are we looking at the end of the soft, bulbous shapes and gradients of web2.0? Will the next generation of web sites…
Read MoreMaggie + Tina = Nicole?
I was taking a new profile picture of myself and noticed that it reminded me a lot of Tina Fey. I called Steve over to confirm, and he agreed. My face resembles a cross between Tina Fey and Maggie Gyllenhaal. What do you think? Maybe it’s just the hair and glasses.

Read MoreWhat NOT to do when your site is down

Read MorePacked Full of Kites
On the photo safari from April 5th we wandered through Chinatown and happened upon this kite store. I don’t know why, but I just love kites. Maybe because they’re so colorful and usually have neat tails. Anyway, this photo demonstrates how crazy the store was. You couldn’t walk through without hitting your head on a…

Old News Now, But…
Two weeks ago (April 5th) I went on a photo safari with two friends. We met up at Union Square, which just happened to be the location for the Human Rights Torch Relay protest. We walked around a bit and took some pictures, read the material, and signed our names in protest.
Read MoreWarm, in San Francisco?
Saturday, well actually the last three days, were extremely and uncharacteristically warm here in San Francisco. We were going to ride the motorcycles with our friend, Jordy, but Steve’s bike wouldn’t start. After failing to get the bike running (I won’t go into details here), we decided that a trip to the park or beach…
