San Francisco…private yard…cool neighborhood. How could we go wrong, right? We also need someone to take over our […]

It’s official: Jen and I are moving to San Francisco! We just signed the lease on our new place, which we’ll be moving into February 1. The best feature: a private yard, quite the rarity anywhere in the city proper. It’s a great neighborhood — Inner Sunset on Judah between 7th & 8th Aves — […]

Friday, January 10th, 2003 · 1 Comment
The Google Weblog contains a recent entry with a couple links to stories that examine the possibility of a Google IPO and the company’s ever-growing role as Shaper of the Web.

This morning I took the Scoobie in for its 13,272-mile oil change. Happy came along. We talked to this guy also waiting in the lobby who recently bought a Legacy GT. We were checking out the white WRX in the lobby and he was saying that he has buyer’s remorse for not having bought one. […]

Interactive Photo Auction
Thursday, January 9th, 2003 · 1 Comment
Tony Pierce cracks me up. He has this interactive photo auction, which is a series of pictures of a friend of his modeling all the clothes she currently has for sale on eBay. The idea is great, the friend’s really cute, and so far, her clothes aren’t selling too well on eBay (only 1 $3 […]
