  • The Beat Museum

    Jerry Cimino opens the Beat Museum in San Francisco.  I wish I had been able to make the opening to see the guest of honor – Carolyn Cassady, the 82-year-old widow of…

    One of my favorite new character designs is cactus girl from tokidoki, a series of art, t-shirts and accessories by Italian artist Simone Legno.  I’m pleased to see he’s launching cool new…

  • Medicine Eat Station

    I’ve been a vegetarian for more than ten years now so of course, I was excited to try the new-shojin food at Medicine Eat Station. The minimalistic, all vegetarian dishes date back…

  • Coolpix sky

    Here’s the first 7.1 megapixel photo I’ve ever taken.  The first of many photos to come with my new Nikon Coolpix 7900 camera.  Max and I have been using a Coolpix 4500…

    Two photos of different parts of the same wall.  Love the subtle details. Shot on Harrison St, SF.

  • XML and Flash Map of My Travels

    I found Bryan Boyer’s IndyJunior several years ago when it was still v1.3 and played with it back then.  For some reason, it popped into my head again the other day so…

  • SF Night

    Night time traffic on the interstate as seen from our window. Even after a year, this scene still fascinates me. Any hour of the day or night, endless cars stream across several…

  • 080105 Desktop

    Some things are just liberating for all the right reasons (like working on your own websites).

  • Six Apart and Ideacodes

    I’ve moved several times in the last nine years – five moves, three states, and two coasts to be exact.  Despite these environmental and physical shifts in my life, it’s ironic that…

  • Lunch in North Beach

    North Beach is fine coffee, fresh italian cuisine, sidewalk cafes, and dreamy summer afternoons.  For me, it’s also the rare personal pleasure of spending time in the same neighborhood where Jack Kerouac…

  • Palm Tree

    Walking up to Telegraph Hill and saw this dreamy view of the bay.  Sounds silly but I’m still struck by the palm trees, the blue sky and water, the breeze, and how…

  • Side Streets
