Someone asked me today if I plan on attending the Sex Worker’s Art Show which will be hitting San Francisco tomorrow.
The answer is no because I’m working all weekend, I just added it to my upcoming because I thought maybe others might be interested in it. But in all honesty, I’m just an introverted conservative [...]
I stopped by the Lensbaby booth at Macworld and was talking to a rep there.
He let me mess with his Canon XTi and Lensbaby 2.0. Since I’ve systematically destroyed all my cameras, it has been a long while. When my hands grabbed the camera, it was electric—my hands were made for an SLR, my eyes [...]

Morning Tony,
I saw your resume online and wasn’t sure if you were looking to leave Tagged or if you already had. Your resume was outstanding and I wasn’t sure if you were considering scientific, lead or management roles…

Dear recruiter,
You lost me at “Tony.”
Take care,
terry

Inspired by a phone call from Dave Kellogg.
Marc wants to keep politics out of his blog. But since my self-imposed moratorium is over, I’ll just go out and say it: Ron Paul is a socially-regressive, batshit-crazy asshole and support for him makes me ashamed for the bandwagon-following bullshit of my socio-economic peers.
[What Ron Paul represents [...]
At dinner the other day, A— quoted someone saying:
“San Francisco. 14 square miles surrounded by reality.”
I thought that was rather clever as I seem to like a slight self-effacement now and again. I bothered to look up the full reference. It turns out the quote was by our very own Mayor McDreamy and he really [...]
My grandfather once told me this story:
Every day, on his way to work as a chemistry professor at the University of Utah (1948-1973), my grandfather would pass the same man walking the other way. For some reason, each never exchanged more than a tacit acknowledgement of the other. This bothered my grandfather, but as it [...]
After the SXSWi party, a random mention of my blog caused a discussion of how—as evidenced by the popularity of shows such as The Big Bang Theory and Chuck, not to mention 21 which will be airing at SXSW this year—geeks are now “chic.”
Worst part about geeks being chic?

From Stuart Liroff (stuart [at] this address or 408-437-9500 x207):
I’m working for a small (3-people), angel funded startup in downtown S.F. (within easy walking distance from BART). When you hear the names of the investors, it will knock your socks off.

In the early 90’s, random dot stereograms made really popular geek posters.
I haven’t a clue what this really looks like. click here to view larger. You can view more and get other stereogram paraphernalia here.
To view them, you had to unfocus your eyes a bit and then stare at infinity. I could never do this [...]
