Santa Monica Topiary Dinosaurs, proudly guarding the Promenade.

My 30th Birthday, on the corner of Valencia and 26th.
Yesterday (April 23rd) was my 30th birthday. While some people fear this occasion, I was not particularly dreading it. I had a small gathering with […]

Craigslist Pet of the Day: Uncatchable Bunnies
Brown bunny/rabbit seen at Barron Park, Palo Alto (palo alto)
Medium brown bunny sighted near Barron Park. Couldn’t catch it. Look and behaved domesticated.
I’m not sure what to make of this one. I suppose it could have been domesticated, but that squirrel I saw on the sidewalk looked and behaved sort of “domesticated” too and I […]

You know it’s a party when someone whips out a bike blender. Actually, if you don’t live in the Bay Area you probably haven’t seen one before (unless you have been to Burning Man, I […]
Governor Schwarzenegger Opens a new Overpass
Okay, I admit I’m posting this a bit late. I have been really busy and we actually had some hot weather for the first time in about a year last weekend, so I haven’t been blogging. Last week, Caltrans (the California department of transportation) threw a festive gathering in front of my office to […]

Things I learned about Claritin D today
You are only supposed to take one pill at a time.
It lasts for 24 hours.
Just because it expired in 2003, that doesn’t mean it won’t work.
If you take twice the recommended dose, all your nerve endings in the back of you head will tingle and you’ll be really, really thirsty.

Cats and Medicine, Part II & The Cell Phone Paradox
A while back, I wrote a post with some advice on how to feed medicine to your cat. I now have realized that if your cat is determined not to take the pill, it isn’t going to happen. Javier is on steroids (long story) and he’s decided that he is not going to let […]

24 Hour Fitnesss Locker Room Update
I went to the 24 Hour Fitness in the Castro yesterday, and they are in the midst of “upgrading” the showers. I’m not sure what that means, but I will probably never find out since I refuse to shower there.
Currently, the back of the locker room with the shower area is walled off with plywood, […]
