I’m writing this on my PowerBook from the jetBlue terminal of JFK (how cool is that?). It’s 6am and my red-eye flight from Oakland just arrived. I spent the last 5 action-packed days in San Francisco, Emeryville, and Sacramento. Starting with a 26-hour day last Saturday, I traveled west on just 3 hours of sleep […]

I have a theory about why the second Presidential debate is being held tonight, a Friday: During the ridiculous debate-planning negotiations, Republicans wanted it on a Friday since the viewership would be be lower (people tend to go out on Friday nights, not watch 9pm political debates; of course, I’ll be home watching), and they’ve […]

Check out Dan’s interesting commentary, War is Peace, on Mere Sketches: “(W)ar for Bush is like peace for the Democrats. In war, Republicans get to play on their traditional strength of national security. The party in power benefits from the rallying around the flag.

What an intense weekend. We spent about 28 hours on Saturday and Sunday working on the editing and production of 100 Faces of Marin. And we still have at least 8 hours to go tonight and tomorrow night. Of course, we also have to go to our day jobs. Meanwhile, the temperature continues to drop […]
