Action Corgi. A few weeks ago.
Pacific Surfliner southbound coming into Old Town.
That was the week that was.
Me. With an Ultraman costume, Saturday.

Scenes from yesterday—Little Tokyo, Japanese American Museum. A great time.
Grendizer & Me @ Anime Jungle
The Neptune abides. #sketchparty #sketchpartySD #stoke
Terrific breakfast beverages at Dru’s Wiffle in Santa Monica. Bloody Mary & coconut latte. The chicken & waffles were terrific, too.
If Summer’s over, how’d I catch all those waves today? #stoke
Dogs allowed again. Safety first, Gwen.
“Softly smile, I know she must be kind.” Thank you Uncle Jody, for introducing me to great music and sharing with me opinions about what music MEANS.
On Saturday visited the California campus of @bastyruniversity here in San Diego. They do naturopathic treatments of various kinds and had impressive array of natural ingredients in their kitchen. They had a broader range of health care modalities than I expected.
Yes, Meshuggah Shack has a to robot on their bar. No, that’s not why I like them. Well, not the ONLY reason I like them.
This mural by Alex “Ali” Gonzalez is one my Mom would have loved. Mom last lived in Los Angeles in 1977 but the whole of Los Angeles is imbued with her presence. Whether it was the time Chris and I drive to LA from San Diego and I got home at 3am on a school night and she was madder at me than I’d ever seen her or would ever see her be mad again. Or the times driving in the VW Beetle from Alhambra to LA County to pick up my Dad. Or being on Sunset Blvd within striking distance of my sister’s birthplace. And yesterday there was this, her favorite man singer for decades. And in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” yesterday there’s that moment where Eddie Valiant picks up a novelty sword to fight with and it’s the Singing Sword, useless save for the fact it’s a 1940s-style caricature of Frank Sinatra singing “Witchcraft.” My Mom died in 2010 but I carry her in my eyes and feelings and memories.
The El Capitan is a marvel.
Getty gardens are so, so beautiful and serene.
Spotted Grace Jones at the Getty

Amazing talk about @smartfinproject from Phil Bresnahan on science, surfing, and community @creativemornings_sd #cmsandiego #stoke #surfing Do science! Get stoked!
The Goat.
Lorikeet coming conclusion I have no nectar to offer, am just taking a photo.
Dude practicing Tuba overlooking the San Diego River, you make this city better.
Jonquil is EIGHTY and helping move. I want to be like Jonquil.
Mostly what I see is I need a haircut.
Bookstore cat comes right up beside me then won’t look at me. I know that feeling bookstore cat. I also fail at playing it cool.
Finally picked up my mouse from Slacker. 14 months and a lifetime ago. Wonderful to see my colleagues.

On a lark I went to a practice of Underwater Rugby. 1. I have not been this tired and out of breath since I cut my head on the sand bodysurfing. 2. These people are not entirely crazy. 3. I had fun and did not drown. 4. I even scored a goal thanks to some great passing in a 3 on 3 match.
I swam out to the buoy off La Jolla Shores with Kelly—it’s about a quarter mile out.
Coronado Dog Beach for the 4th of July.
Swami’s/Stoke.
Wasn’t bodysurfing but wanted to represent #webodysurfers for beach cleanup at the Cove anyway. And people: KEEP THE BEACHES CLEAN!
Always be ready for the wave. #Stoke awaits.
I met Rambo (possibly Rambeaux) at Coronado Dog Beach today.
30 seconds later the sea lion who was SLEEPING in the cave at left barked at these folks. Rightly so I say.
Yesterday, Torrey. Stoke session.
I ate a little sand bodysurfing at Huntington. The wave was worth it.
Dog beach, new fins worked great, excellent hang with friends I love ❤️
Yesterday’s breakfast at Pannikin was not kidding around! Worth the long wait! #bagelsandlox #avocadotoast #encinitas
Bot update! Have a great weekend everybody.
Ive known @mickele1226 for 19 years or so and she never fails to make me think, and make me feel. Be love!
A delightful quick #sketchpartysd — thank you @sketchpartysd
Sagrado. #sketchpartysd #labodegagallery
Marine room, between sets.
Wave.
I did vote. You ought to too.
Kelly caught rides today!
Torrey. Come faster, summer. Come faster.
It’s true—I’m streamlined for trouble. #corgi #dogsofinstagram #socalcorgi #corgisofinstagram

+2 Robots on the work robot team. Heads down working hard. #botfriday
I’m really happy with this vintage glass purchase. Frosty mug sensation!
Friday Bots Assemble! #walle #mechagodzilla #toyrobots
Getting the bot band back together. #toyrobots #voltesv #astroboy
Not precisely younger teenage me but not precisely not me either. I do so love @sketchpartysd #SketchPartySD
It’s new bot Wednesday! Welcome Robot Spirits RX-75-4 Guntank! This fellow was a gift from my friend @hellokellykuhl from WonderCon and it’s a beaut!
Kelly’s Gwen | Erin’s Lucy. I have pets by proxy.
Latest sticker for my iPad—#wcsd has been great learning experience particularly around changes in WordPress around #gutenberg
Wow but I love Chuck Close’s paintings. (From this past weekend).
San Francisco is terrific.
Not precisely sacrilegious, but not exactly secular either. I like it. (From last night at Amoeba)
Gated community.
PERSIA 🍂
In Loving Memory ❤️ Rest In Peace

My grandpa Art Silva and his oldest daughter Phyllis. My Mom. Photo a bit damaged but wonderful shot nonetheless. Might retouch it at some point.
Stepdog yawns.
“When your mind is going hither and thither, discrimination will never be as cool as Bootsy Collins.”—@bloggingbot
L & M. From the other day. Dog Beach where we came, uncharacteristically without dogs.
Tonight @helenprejean inspired the crowd @cchsdons tonight. She says like Elie Wiesel she was called to share what she has witnessed. Passionate powerful speaker!
Leah is cool.
So I wrote a bot this past week. It’s a twitter bot (@BloggingBot) & based on my 17 years blogging it makes sentences based on my words. It is surreal to see what it has generated. Because some of them sound like things I might have written. #markovchain #programming #twitterbot
This guy—Billet(I can’t remember if that makes right)—is being fostered by my aunt & uncle. He’s nice.

15 years together and 13 years married and continuing to navigate the shoals and complexities of love. It’s a big beautiful world! Happy Valentine’s Day to Leah and everyone! ❤️
This weekend I’m spending with code but last weekend I went kayaking with my friend Kelly and it was AMAZING. Turtles and Garibaldi and seals and dolphins. Must do again soon!
Me & Crystal. 1982?
Chris & Sharon. Human Powered Vehicle Race @ Cal State Fullerton, 1989.

Zine by @miamigardenclub arrived last week and it’s awesome. Particularly liked hypochondria flowchart. Oh and you should get Miami Garden Club.
San Diego is not supposed to have sea turtles and yet here one is. Climate change brings a shelled friend on a kayak tour with the excellent @everydaycalifornia in La Jolla. First time going out with them. Will definitely return.
THIS IS THAT
Day 2 of #lightningnow learning about Kanban view inside @Salesforce + bonus t-shirt! Remain impressed by quality of Trailhead exercises for a novice like me. I also like that it’s kind of Shazam!/Mage/Captain Marvel.
