Two very cool and completely unrelated series of photos: What the White House Looks Like Completely Gutted and Ice Age Aerial #
Imagine you have two shell scripts in the same directory. test1.sh: #!/bin/bash echo “I am test1” cp test2.sh test1.sh test2.sh: #!/bin/bash echo “I am test2” cp test2.sh test1.sh echo “This should not get printed” Now run test1.sh. What do you…
Here are some more photos from our Thanksgiving trip to the Mojave Desert. While there, we climbed to the top of the Kelso Dunes, which turned out to be surprisingly challenging. At the start
I had intended to make soup. I ended up with puree. First I steamed two diced celeriacs, a bunch of very thin carrots, and two or three small potatoes (all from our veggie box). When everything was tender, I mashed…
The snowy plovers at Ocean Beach are pretty spectacular (not to mention extra-snowy in black and white).
I was shocked to learn that a fire broke out at Chez Panisse yesterday (see also: SFGate, Berkeleyside), badly damaging the restaurant’s front porch and facade. Two weeks ago we ate there (for the first time) with Stephanie’s mom Chris,…
We had a few hours to kill before my cousin’s wedding (in December), so Matthew and I decided to escape the hotel and visit the Gateway Arch. There was a momentary break in the clouds just after we arrived that…

Just after the New Year I traveled with Sincerely to Maui on a workcation (or “workation”?)—sort of a working holiday/retreat. It was surreal to spend what was then only my third week of the new job, not to mention my…
I couldn’t imagine traveling to Hawaii solely for work. Luckily Stephanie was able to take some time off to join me for a few days after my workation. We drove the infamous “road to Hana” down to the Kipahulu section…
On our last full day in Hawaii, Stephanie and I woke up at 4:30am so that we could get to Haleakalā in time for sunrise. Not only was the drive to the top one of the shortest drives with the…
The exercise of creating an annual photo book, but more importantly, flipping through it later, serves as an encouraging reminder of all that we managed to accomplish in the space of a year—especially in the absence of that elusive sense…

Enthralling: Pfc. Bradley E. Manning’s Statement for the Providence Inquiry
Update: And now audio. #
I had no idea “normal people” could just walk up the Bay Bridge: Bay Bridge Cable Walk #
Neat: How rope was made the old fashioned way (reminds me of Traditional Turning, which I found very, very inspiring) #
It’s amusing to think that we could change this: Petition the White House to eliminate Daylight Savings Time #
This trailer looks amazing: L’Ecume des Jours (apparently it will be released as “Mood Indigo” in English) (via Tralalere) #
I knew nothing about the misadventures of “Prenda Law”, but I found this blog post engrossing: Brett Gibbs Gets His Day In Court — But Prenda Law Is The Star #

Harshest critique of Google I’ve read recently, captured in one incomplete sentence:
Burn. #
