iTunes Smart Playlists
I’ve been playing around with Smart Playlists on iTunes, and it’s a lot of fun. When I first got my iPod I made a goal to fill it up. I got a lot of songs from friends, much of which I haven’t listened to yet. I can shuffle the entire iPod, but that doesn’t always…
Read MoreSonoma Wine Vacation
This past weekend we went on a wine vacation in Sonoma. Our friends Orion and Rebecca have turned it into an annual event. They gather about 18-25 people and rent a mansion for a weekend in wine country. They rent a limo to transport everyone around on Saturday, so everyone is free to taste without…
Read MoreA Mini-Vacation at Home
My dad and half-brother, Keith, came to visit this past weekend. My first guests since I moved to the Bay Area (two years ago this month!). They flew up from Houston, Texas and stayed a couple of days, from Friday to Tuesday. Friday we just hung out in San Mateo. I showed them how close…
Read MoreMy Own Stupid Top 10
Tis the season for Top 10 or Top 100 or Top Whatever lists. I thought I might contribute my own top list commemorating the year 2006. As for topic, I think I’ll go with random crap, or most memorable moments for me. (In no particular order) Steve opening his Chanukah present – a telescope. He…

Enjoy your week of celebration, skiing, visiting old friends, sitting around the house… how ever you decide to spend it!

My ole buddy Ryan has just fulfilled one of his goals: covering a co-workers cube with tinfoil! And he did a marvelous job, very detailed and meticulous, as is most of his design work. Well done my friend!
Read MoreSassy Ms. Dewey
On NPR last night they told us about MSN’s, Ms. Dewey. She’s a sexy woman with 600-some clips ready to respond to your queries and questions. Try telling her, “you are a ho” and she just might flip out on you (I got at least 3 different responses to that one). Anyway, it’s a pretty…
Read MoreFirst River Run
Yesterday I went kayaking on a river for the very first time. I was scared out of my mind in the beginning. Mostly nervous about being cold (we had thrown together my gear from about four different people) and hitting my head on a rock or getting pinned up against a rock because I had…
Read MoreI Rolled!!!
Last night Steve and I went to the usual Tuesday night rolling sessions (see previous post). In the last couple of weeks I had practiced doing rolls with hand paddles and was able to do it pretty well, but once the regular paddle was in my hand I lost it all – two many things…
Read MoreElvis or the Beatles?
On my old site I had this poll about Elvis and the Beatles. Basically, who would you chose? I got a lot of feedback on it and if I recall correctly, the Beatles were winning by a land slide. I raise this question based on Mia Wallace’s comments in Pulp Fiction. She said something to…
