Though unrelated, this photo (thanks, dad) goes incredibly well with Bill Maher’s excellent commentary today about California’s new governor and Roy Horn’s being attacked this week. For the record, I agree with Maher on all points. And now, Gray Davis’ new job… (Photo courtesy of strangecosmos.com.)

Recall Blues
Wednesday, October 8th, 2003 · 1 Comment
Apparently entertainment and government are no longer different. California voters yesterday voted to recall Gray Davis 55% to 45% and Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected by a landslide to replace him. The giant headline in this morning’s Chronicle is Schwarzenegger Leads Voter Revolt, followed by a number of other stories. Fair enough. Unfortunate, yes, but the […]

Email Problems

I discovered this morning that my server was having some problems with sending and receiving email. If you tried emailing me this morning between 7:45am and 9:15am Pacific Time and the message was bounced back to you, please resend the message, since I probably did not receive it. End of transmission.

Bush Blog
Tuesday, October 7th, 2003 · 2 Comments
Following in the footsteps of Howard Dean and Kicking Ass, the blog of the Democratic National Committee, the Bush-Cheney camp now has an official blog. Ha! It’s basically a continuous press release machine in disguise. And, as Kicking Ass points out, all posts are hidden behind the clever name “GeorgeWBush.com,” so there’s zero sense of […]

If you entered my site last night or today through its top level, you were greeted by my Defend Democracy – VOTE NO RECALL page. It’s not often that I’ll redirect the top-level of my site to something completely different, but that’s how strongly I feel about this recall election. Jen and I were the […]

Weekend Fun

Friday night Ben and Jess came to town and we hit Milano Pizzeria on 9th Ave. for some pizza and cheap beer (Foster’s Friday). With full bellies, we headed to Yancy’s on Irving for some intense games of Ms. Pac-Man, followed by a couple rounds of that touchscreen game wherein you compare two photos of […]

Breathing
Friday, October 3rd, 2003 · 4 Comments
Vote NO on the recall October 7. Aside from the horrible precedent it would set if the recall passes, here’s the number one reason why we need to prevent this from happening: the air we breathe. Ben has a great piece today about just this topic, and he’s inspired me to write about it, too. […]

Hire Me
Friday, October 3rd, 2003 · Comments Off on Hire Me
In light of my layoff news this week, I’ve updated my resume and have added it once again to the primary site navigation. Jen and I still aren’t sure where we’ll end up or what we’d like to do, but I figure that in the meantime, it can’t hurt to get my resume out there […]

Pocohantas

Rest in peace, furry Chow-Chow. You were a good dog and friend. Poco, the family dog, was put to rest today. She was 12 years old and in a lot of pain. My brother Pete told me that Poco had no idea what was going on around her anymore. It was time. Pete and my […]

The San Francisco Bay Area Mob Project has a new Web site that was announced yesterday. In the Past Mobs section are a number of photos ripped off from various sources, including gabeanderson.com.
