The future is now. I am thrilled. Though with my luck, they'll find a problem with the pilot and come up with a reason to push it out a few more years. I'm still hoping for the best.
I've been waiting for this for so long. I'm definitely going to have to use my translink card tomorrow on BART and see how it works.

Just signed up for the half marathon, and my sister's gonna do the 10k. It looks like it'll be a lot of fun. Anyone wanna join us?
Also, there's one more trail race in this series, The Rocky Ridge Trail, which is on October 24th. I'll probably do the half marathon in that one, too.

This thing looks really impressive on paper, if the specs at engadget are correct. If it works as well in practice, something like this with a 3G cellular radio would be a pretty awesome device.
Emma decided this morning that everyone needed to be in the swing. Amir had no comment.
Those of you without kids can safely ignore this. ;-) It actually looks like it could be fun, but since I work at Snapfish, we're not eligible to win anything (Much to Mara's chagrin). Emma also hasn't quite figured out how to use a camera yet, but she's getting there. Here's the official PR blurb just to make this even more official advertisement... ;-) Snapfish Summer Photo Adventure (July 15 - August 31, 2009): Snapfish has partnered with LeapFrog to create a variety of free, fun activities for children and parents to enjoy a fun and educational digital photography journey. As part of each activity, consumers are encouraged to take photos related to a particular theme and upload them to a scavenger hunt map. Themes include 'coastal adventures,' 'camping & outdoors,' 'theme parks' and 'fun & games around the house'. When each challenge is complete, participants will earn 50 percent off a collage poster. Participants who complete all four challenges will earn a free 5x7-inch photobook. Participants can also enter a photo from each theme into a photo contest to win additional LeapFrog and Snapfish prizes.

Smooth Criminal, classical style. I'm not up on the latest hip and sexy classical musicians, but apparently David Garret is the very definition of the term. And apparently, he can play flight of the bumblebee very quickly. I think I prefer Smooth Criminal, though. ;-)

This game looks like insane old school awesome. And probably insane old school hard. If you like that, check out the extended trailer (which I didn't embed, because I couldn't figure out how to turn off autoplay), and the game's blog.
