During his commute on Friday MJ heard about the Pacific Voyagers visiting San Francisco, so on Saturday following a breakfast of waffles and blueberries we headed out to check them out. They crossed the Pacific in their small boats, you can check out their page charting the course here. Crazy. The event was held on […]

Sea lions, SF Zoo March of the Penguins and Internets
July 31st, 2011 by pleia2
Friday evening I wrapped up work and needed some fresh air so I hopped on a street car (#1893) and headed down to visit the sea lions at Pier 39. On my way I was browsing Twitter and saw an article from The Marine Mammal Center: Rescue Efforts for Two Sea Lions Entangled in Ocean […]
Projects and Aquarium of the Bay
July 18th, 2011 by pleia2
Have I mentioned lately how nice it is to have a proper task manager? I didn’t realize how much I’d value my history of completed items or how much time I’d save until now. It’s really transforming how I allocate my time and I’m able to do a much better job of figuring out how […]
This past weekend and upcoming travel
May 3rd, 2011 by pleia2
This past weekend was my last full weekend at home until June. Saturday morning I headed out around 11AM to stop at BritShoppe.com‘s retail location on 15th street behind Potrero Center. It’s quite the gem, I was just reminiscing the other day about how I missed Lion bars – and they have them! Along with […]

April 29th, 2011 by pleia2
Before I woke up yesterday Ubuntu 11.04 “Natty Narwhal” was released, and that could only mean one thing: That night we’d be having beers at Thirsty Bear! I met up with Grant Bowman prior to the event at a nearby coffee shop (the same one we use for San Francisco Ubuntu Hours) and around 6:30 […]

On Saturday, when we should have been doing responsible things like filing mail and preparing for our vacation next week we instead decided to catch How Wine Became Modern exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which is closing on the 17th (so this was our last weekend to catch it). It’s almost […]

Weekend food and California Academy of Sciences
March 29th, 2011 by pleia2
There was much delicious food this past weekend, I feel like I need to eat salad for a week. Friday I was lurking in the Shimmer Project channel when the conversation drifted from shimmery things and on to the subject of beer. Being a Friday this meant that I then had to go out for […]
Caligula teeth, Buena Vista, Streetcars, V-Day, Interview and Puerto Rico
February 16th, 2011 by pleia2
On Saturday morning we finally dropped Caligula off at the vet for his teeth cleaning. The bad news: His teeth were very bad, worse than the vet had anticipated. 3 of his 4 canines had to be removed and he’d already lost 3 of his lower incisors! Poor guy! The good news: Dental disease like […]
In which San Francisco parties for 4 days
November 6th, 2010 by pleia2
It sure was quite a week to live in San Francisco, plus we had lots of visitors! MJ’s father and father’s partner, Susana, were in town over the weekend, so on Friday night we joined them for dinner at Chaya on the Embarcadero. Saturday we met at Ferry Building for lunch and browsing of the […]
