ratatat in SF

So, in my last post I was complaining about having too much to do. I should have maybe been more careful what I wished for. I had a bit of an accident; I fractured my tibial plateau, for those at home that can’t read an MRI. I was practicing for my DMV exam on my motorcycle and bumped the throttle; next thing I knew I was in the bushes. I’d love to continue learning to ride when I’m healed, but really, I have too many other things going at once to give riding the attention it needs not to kill me.

apcera halloween

Technically, this was Friday before halloween, but it was a good time to party. They had a costume contest, and good food, sweets. Then those of us that live in the east bay headed over to Cato’s for some beers and late dinner. 7-10 of us crowded around a table talking and drinking and eating tatchos (natchos, but tater tots instead of chips). Good times.

florence and the machine

Just went to this concert, and it was a lot of fun. I tried to post these from the phone, but ran into some odd ssh issues that I still can’t figure out. Could be the beer. Anyway, photos:

cruise to st francis

So, earlier today, I was at something of a loose end as to what to do with myself, and I found out our friends Peggy and cris were going to go on a little cruise. At first it was going to be to Tiburon, but when we got to the boat, it seemed a bit choppy for that crossing, so we went to the St. Francis Yacht club instead. It’s a nice place.

up kearny st

I was going to talk about something smart here, but I used up all my smarts this week. I tackled a huge problem at work, and in doing so became the local expert on that thing. I built a keyboard and a Tv-b-Gone. I started thinking about laptop enclosures and hinges and how to fabricate them from what I have on hand, plus some hardware (springs and bolts!).
