After our trip to the Japanese Gardens, we headed over to the Tube in Chinatown.
They make a decent vegan white russian.
They also have red-eyed rabbits on the walls.
And fire escapes outside.
We went to the Japanese Gardens today. We practiced zen patience while waiting for the perfect shots to appear.
Song stuck in my head.
That’s not a bad thing.

That’s not a bad thing either.
Recently finished reading the free html version of Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. Excellent book that makes you feel like an idealistic, rebellious teenager again, mixed in with a bit of Hackers.
Even better, the nifty technological devices and methods mentioned in the book are based on available or nearly available technologies. More, Doctorow links to an Instructables page that tells you how to make the devices or execute the methods.
I wish more media would be this interactive. It’s like the equal and opposite reaction of cheesy merchandising and product placement. I don’t want a plastic lightsaber with “Star Wars” printed on it. I want a real frickin’ lightsaber! Doctorow delivers on this concept. Now if I can just get that real lightsaber, I’d be set.
Adding to his ability to write great stories (many of which you can read on his site, Craphound.com), is the fact that he releases a lot of it for free and is a big fan of Creative Commons.
DON’T TRUST ANYONE OVER 25. Including me…
We went into the city today.
We went to an art supply store. Someone had left some art on the power box outside.
Then we went to Chinatown.
Then we found out that Jesus is Lord.
Then we walked down to the waterfront.
We noticed the bricklayers were playing Tetris on the sidewalk.
We got stuck in traffic on the drawbridge.
Then we went home.
Where I uploaded these photos.
The end.
