I was browsing through Facebook and I ran across Andrew Mager’s profile photo again. This time it was taken at the CNET holiday party.
I’ve been saying for a while now that I’m just going to compile all of his Facebook profile photos into a book and make bank. But I had to blog this one, [...]
Against my better judgement (health), I woke up from my disco nap and headed down to Etiquette Lounge to celebrate the “party dress birthday” of Halle, Michelle, Liisa who were turning 21 (again) and Peter who was turning 30 (again).

I was really burned out from partying. But Patrick IM’d me saying that he was in the city for one night only and extrovert that he is, I knew I had to find a party at the last minute, sans costume.

The solution to the greatest paradoxes of the twentieth century physics is the realization that the observer cannot be separated from the experimental design.
General Relativity? The observer can’t tell the difference between gravity and an accelerating reference frame.
Maxwell’s Demon? Even the observer’s computation cannot be separated from the physical system that implements it.
Quantum Mechanics? Observation [...]
Tagged has a Cherry Coke promotion which pretty much works with any website out there. In honor of this, I pimped out my profile with some raining cherries—I mean once you get over all the pr0n on my profile, that I’m too lazy(?) to delete.

Apparently there was a reward for getting Mark [...]
A friend of a friend hooked me up with a WWDC pass. Shhh… The real reason I went there was to meet a friend, but he had to miss out that day because of bugs and a release. (I won’t name names, but you suck!)
Unfortunately, I was too tired from driving back from Lunch 2.0 [...]

Dave invited me to his son’s baptism. I put on a shirt and tie and drove down to South Bay.
I showed up early, had to drop off some stuff at Goodwill, and ended up loitering outside the [...]
This is a shameless plug for my friend Andrei.
Andrei is writing something that forms the very essence of my future employment: PHP 6, and more specifically, unicode support in PHP 6. ICU in PHP is three meaningless letters about three other meaningless letters to most of you. I get that. Even though this meaninglessness stuff [...]
I got an e-mail today in which someone asked to use a photo of mine for a Christmas prayer.
This use is well within my creative commons license, but it’s always a nice touch when I’m shown how my photos are used. Besides, I always had a soft spot for Episcopalians.
I noticed they’re using Joomla [...]
In an internal mailing list, a friend sent around these photos. Here is one:
The interesting thing was back in February, Mark Jen sent those same shots to me and the graphics design department. I composed a reply, but never posted it. I guess I better do something about that.
Very striking images! How did they take [...]
