I ate some nature

Yesterday we drove out where people hike, bike, picnic and all sorts of outdoor activities. I chatted with some people crouched down against the hillside and they showed me the berries that were safe to eat. When I was a kid I ate all kinds of random flowers and plants around my neighborhood. [...]

First day in Alaska

I’m in Alaska right now. The weather is mild and the sun doesn’t go down until 9pm. I’m with Justine on some crazy-fun adventures.
At SFO I had a veggie burger with bacon. Ya, that seems a little weird, but veggie burgers are reliably tasty. They almost always use Gardenburgers. The [...]

The Erhu

So there’s this old Chinese man that plays this two-stringed instrument in the bay area. I’ve seen him in Berkeley (on campus and outside bart) in downtown SF and Chinatown. It as an erhu, and when he plays it sounds like cats being skinned alive. When I was in New York in [...]

in love with downtown crossing

Lately I’ve been feeling quite restless. I love San Francisco and I’ve lived & studied in the bay area most of my life. Little things about San Francisco that were just flies have become giant attack mosquitoes (cold nights, traffic, tourists getting in the way of where I’m going, etc). I need a little [...]

Mmmmm meat

Eating in New York is dangerous. There are tourist traps everywhere — good food that is really expensive, pretty food that is no good, or food that is just plain bad. My latest trip to New York (pics) was foodgasmic.
We went to Katz, 2nd Ave Deli, Blue Smoke, La Famigilia, and some awesome [...]

Sadcake

I bought this cake during my December trip to New York, and it was not happy. I’m a huge fan of Delessio. I’ve heard good things about Kara’s Cupcakes but I haven’t tried them yet. Whole Foods has decent grocery store ones. I like that they sell a few vegan varieties. [...]

Like a kid again

The redeye lands us in New York around 7am. After dropping our bags off at the hotel a little before 9, we wander out into the streets again. It is bitter cold and I am still dirty and groggy from the plane ride. Time Square is only a block away and Dennis [...]

Colored bracelets

Whew! Adobe max was great. I met a few fantastic people, including my east coast self, Ed Finkler. Terry, though flattering, is quite delusional as I am not anywhere as badass as Ed. Turns out that Grant Skinner (hotshot flash dude,) looks just like Scott Blonde from the back/side. [...]

Is Chicago, is not Chicago

I’m in Chicago for the next few days for the AdobeMAX conference. It’s geekfest galore, which is excellent. Yesterday the weather was amazing, but today it’s rainy and cold. Poo.
Max’s twitter would be much better if there were good consistent cell service. Here’s day 1.

Of course, while I’m in Chicago, Justine’s [...]
