So it's been a while. Tough noogies.

tmkr recently asked for edouardinho's hand size. We figured it could be gleaned from his shoe size,  but apparently not. Being the clever engineers that we are, and not having a ruler, we came up with this helpful picture to give an estimate:

OK, here's a sop to all the bird lovers out there. I'm betting it's either a turkey vulture or a wild turkey.

As if pimped-out rides aren't enough, I occasionally find myself surrounded by Dungeons&Dragons-playing, sword-wielding, magic-incanting, Tolkein-loving druids.

(My car was parked in front of the eatery, a delightful hole-in-the-wall named Kennedy's Irish ( Read more... )

Both Wednesday and Thursday were long work days. To the point that I completely forgot to take any pictures on Thursday. Oops.

Not being terribly familiar with fine cuisine of San Francisco, he asked me for suggestions. Not being terribly familiar with fine cuisine of San Francisco, I asked opentable.com. We quickly settled on Sens, a rustic restaurant in ( Read more... )

For the last 6 months, I shared an office at work with BriDawg and the Beast from the Middle East. This worked out great, as we were trying to get some major stuff done in a short amount of time and the amount of time spent walking to someone else's desk to collaborate was skyrocketing. We also had 3 whiteboards, a projector, and a spare computer ( Read more... )
