All sorts of fun and craziness
June 29th, 2008
San Francisco definitely got it. The parade annually attracts hundreds of thousands spectators (and a couple of dozen protesters.) And was I going to miss this big ol’ party? Absolutely not — I even agreed to wear a corporate T-shirt and a funny hat so I can walk in the parade which I did.
In fact I danced and made fool of myself most of the time. Now all I need is a foot soak and a nap.

This blog has been slowing down recently– blame other social media. My daily internet habits have shifted to checking the following (in order of priority) 1) My Google home page that shows my email, news, weather, Tweeter updates, my stock prices, and my Google Reader. 2) Gmail 3) Google Reader 4) Facebook 5) Tweeter (most of them I get to upon clicking a link on my home page). I check that page often but I seldom spend more than 1 minute on it as I jump from task to task. I get a luxury of actually reading something on the internet in the evening only when at home. When it comes to publishing any kind of content, my Tweets and Facebook updates are the only micro-mini-tiny time commitments that I am able to maintain on any kind of regular basis.
Needless to say, it gets a little challenging to let go of this little web addiction which I still did this past weekend when BK and I went to Monterey along the Highway 1 in a shiny Lotus Elise. The motoring part of the weekend was really fun albeit a bit scary — the car is tiny compared to the rest of the vehicles and it feels that one of those trucks will simply not notice you and run right over. But it definitely knows road and sounds much bigger than it looks.

After seven months in San Francisco, we finally were able to explore Central CA coast and I have to admit I am in love. But I am a bit confused how many golf courses people need and how all these surfer dudes manage to hang loose all the time without an apparent income source. I am also amazed how one can be 20 miles outside of San Francisco and be surrounded by Redwoods forests and farm land without any kind of civilization in sight.
