Flying to Austin in the morning!!!

Then Dallas on Tuesday!!!

Hide the women and children...

It is an awesome day outside, and I'm stuck working on Chapter 8 >:-0

My fault for slacking off on book-writing for the past week.

I will let loose tonight at a Halloween party in San Jose that Aaron and I are spinning at...

Went to the Ghostland show tonight in SF, which was fun -- good to see Thomas again. Begain the evening by meeting up w/ my friend Kesha who reconnected w/ me on MySpace a few days ago - she rememered me from Austin and lives here now. I didn't remember exactly how I knew her, which was ok - because she didn't exactly remember how she know me ( Read more... )

Sunday I went to see Ziggy Marley at the Fillmore. That was a really cool venue, too bad I was sitting down most of the time since I was still feelin the effects of Saturday night... it was a pretty nifty performance though.

WFH today, just went to grab breakfast w/ Aaron and am now about to start doing some writing.

Just got back from a bike show that I scored some free tickets to. It's within walking distance of the crib, so Aaron and I moseyed over there for a couple of hours. Pretty fun, I bought a cool chain :) Afterwards we went to a local Mexican joint which was pretty good. I've now found authentic Mexican and Viatnamese spots within a 10 minute walk ( Read more... )

Working from home today. I need some rest after this weekend. Not feeling 100%.

So I missed the 4th quarter of the Cowboy game and went down to the Burning Man Decompression party happening down the road from my place. I went with Vicki and David, her friend from Florida. There must have been a couple thousand people there, it was in a big square block and it was pretty sweet. I haven't been to Burning Man before, but this was ( Read more... )

This sucks. The local TV station isn't allowed to broadcast the Cowboys/Eagles game due to some silly NFL policy about having the local team's home game on at the same time. SO, since the 49ers are playing the Radiers in SF right now, I can't watch the Cowboys game. That sucks! I am, however, listening to Brad Sham online via NFL Field Pass. Next ( Read more... )

LoveFest yesterday was fun. Aaron and I left the house around one, took the train downtown and cabbed it over to where the floats were passing by. About 20 floats, all with DJs & soundsystems (some much better than others), cruised down market street and ended up in this square block in front of City Hall. Freaks were everywhere. It was pretty ( Read more... )

Making good progress on the book. I'm over 50% done now, I'd say. I've finished chapters 2 thru 6. Chapter 6 was a beast, about 14,000 words and tons of code samples. The rest of the book (besides chapter 1, which will mainly be overview material, plus some general ramblings and pontifications) is stuff that I'm not as familiar with, so this ( Read more... )
