We bought a couple of in-building storage units a few months back, got them primed<\/a> in May and did the painting in June and some final touch-ups in July. But eventually we were ready to move everything from our rental storage unit down the street to the ones we have here!<\/p>\n

Last weekend we rented a truck and did the move. The main challenge of this move was finding a truck that would fit in the garage while also being large enough to fit the wardrobes we were moving, the answer ended up being a Ford F-450 stake truck<\/a>, coming in just under 7 feet tall.<\/p>\n

Sunday evening we went out to celebrate the completion of the storage migration by heading down to the San Francisco Rogue<\/a> Ales Public House. It also turned out to be the first day of Shark Week, and Rogue was up for celebrating.<\/p>\n

As far as beers go, I started off with the Rogue Imperial IPA<\/a>, which packs quite the ABV punch.<\/p>\n

With my Brutal Reuben<\/i> (Corned beef simmered in Brutal Bitter<\/i> beer topped with Swiss cheese, Shakespeare Stout<\/i> sauerkraut and 1000 Island dressing served on marbled rye bread) I enjoyed the Rogue 200 Meter Ale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After dinner we headed over to Z. Cioccolato<\/a> for some fudge before walking home.<\/p>\n

Tuesday I made dinner plans with Silvia Bindelli and her fiance Claudio Criscione who were in the US traveling and decided to spend a few days in San Francisco. I met Silvia through Ubuntu Women<\/a>, which she’s been a member of for several years, and most recently has joined the Ubuntu Women translator team<\/a> to work on Italian translations of our wiki. We met up at Pier 39<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have to admit not being the best tour guide yet, having only been here 6 months myself, I will certainly have to keep studying tour guides and having my own local adventures. However, I did know a couple of things about traditionally San Francisco-y things, and was happy to oblige when they asked for suggestions. We ended up having dinner at Bistro Boudin<\/a> at the wharf<\/a> for a delightful dinner of local beers and famous sour dough bread bowl clam chowder. After dinner it was a brisk walk over to Ghirardelli Square<\/a> for some ice cream sundaes. It was a real pleasure meeting both of them, and once again drove home the fantastic power of the Ubuntu community – go to any major city in the world and there will be Ubuntu community members there to greet you with a hug and a tour.<\/p>\n

So, what’s the adventure for this weekend? We’re actually going to spend much of it at home sorting through some things post-storage-migration, but on my schedule for tomorrow or Sunday is taking an XO<\/a> I borrowed from Sameer Verma on a photo shoot to try and get some neat XO-OLPC-in-San-Francisco promotional photos for an SF-OLPC Community Summit I’m helping plan in the fall. We’ll see how taking photos go, I have recently learned that summer in San Francisco means intense fog every day (they tell me it gets warm in Late August – October) which won’t be fantastic for picturesque photos of an XO with the Golden Gate, but fog is very San Francisco-y too, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
