  • Coastside Tweetup

    With the holiday weekend ahead of us, Francine Hardaway and I decided to try to pull together (possibly the first?) tweetup for the Coastside area of Half Moon Bay, El Granada, Moss Beach, and Montara. This isn’t just limited to folks who live on the coast.  Of course everyone is invited! Here’s the general plan.…

  • True Stories From Social Media

    This tweet from Ryan Kuder reminded me that it’s time to tell a recent story of reconnecting and discovery. It started back around March, probably.  I started following Chris Perkett (@missusP on Twitter). I’m not exactly 100% sure how it started, but it was probably due to a reply that Aaron Strout (who I had…

  • Lakers vs. Celtics

    There’s no way for me to avoid watching the NBA finals that start tonight and flashback to my 80’s youth and watching all the memorable games between the Lakers and Celtics.  And of course the rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.   In fact, I’ve been rooting for Lakers – Celtics final this year…

  • Hey Jude

    Note: this is a letter that I wrote to my unborn son (due early August) last week.  It’s my sole contribution to Keturah’s baby shower. Hey Jude, You’re going to hear those two words A LOT.  I’m not kidding, either.  So many people are going to say lines to you such as “Hey Jude, don’t…

    After recently exchanging tweets with Richard McInnis , I found out it’s going to be his first time in SF.  So was thinking about some stuff he should do and came up with a short list of things to consider doing.  Especially if it’s your first time to SF and you want to escape the…

  • Video of Mason and his first tricycle

    I know I said there would be a pause in new Mason photos, but videos don’t count. Especially since Flickr just started supporting video and I acquired a new JVC hard disk camcorder and I want to play with both.

  • I shoot photos of things other than my son. Really.

    Honestly, I take a lot of pictures and I take pictures of things other than Mason.  Though you would never know it by looking at my Flickr photostream. So, for the next month, I’m going to focus on going back through my recent photos and posting pictures to Flickr of subjects other than Mason. Of…

  • Confirmed: We’re expecting our second baby boy

    Keturah and I paid a visit to her doctor yesterday and received some wonderful news. Our second baby, due in early August, is — or will be (depending on where you stand on the whole “what is life?” debate) — a boy. This will be our second child and our second boy. The baby is…

  • WP Contact Manager – Turn WordPress into a web based contact directory

    I have to admit that I never would have thought of this: http://designintellection.com/downloads/wp-contact-manager/
