Rabbit in the Moon

So now that I live in a place with a real climate, I try to go out and get lunch and take a walk around. I often go to Fry‘s, a very cool discount electronics shop about two blocks from my office. So I typically walk over and check out different parts of the store […]

How do we choose?

At least this isn’t a political post…. I was reading another article today in the NY Times (“Myanmar Arrests Activist as U.S. Aid Ships Leave”), and it made me think. We either need to go in and remove the government (think Grenada) or let them die (think Rwanda). How do we choose?

I’m glad the NY Times is picking up on this stuff

First, I’ve seen some articles about the political issue I brought up a few days ago. And, I’m heartened to see the article in the NY Times today (“Many Blacks Find Joy In Unexpected Breakthrough”) that described how blacks in this country are feeling more optimistic than ever thanks in part to the expected nomination […]

Trip to Renton, WA

I made my first business trip to the home office of Classmates.com. Its located in Renton, WA, which is about 10 to 15 minutes outside Seattle. I enjoyed the trip. Alaska Air is a nice airline, the planes are pretty clean and reasonably new and the flight crews were pleasant (not quite Southwest-jovial but I […]

I can’t help it – one entry on politics

So the Democratic Party has decided, perhaps, what to do about the Florida and Michigan delegates. There’s one thing that’s being played down that bares repeating: Both candidates agreed not to campaign in both states and that both delegations would not be seated at the convention. That is, I guess, until one of them needed […]

Culver City Art Walk

Today was the West Hollywood and Culver City Art Walks – we decided to go the Culver City one. We stopped in at least 10 gallerys (Basil came along in tow and was a very good dog, he didn’t growl at a single painting, although I think some deserved it). Some of the realist work […]

Theme changes

I’ve just spent a fair part of the morning modifying images and changing CSS styles (and one php change to do the del,icio.us bookmarking thing) to try to make the theme look the way I like (and color it similarly to my main web site). I’d love comments back on your opinions of the changes […]

Mulholland Drive

We decided to go on a drive and consider David Lynch as well…. Mulholland Drive is a famous road that runs north of Los Angeles through the mountains. It twists and turns, dives and climbs, surrounded by green trees and mansions. The Canyon Country Store on Laurel Canyon Boulevard is a fixture from the sixties […]
