My car is now fixed, for certain a mixed blessing. I think I will miss the time afforded to read and contemplate and decompress while riding mass transit. Maybe I’ll ride the bus sometimes, and drive my car to work sometimes. Err… sometimes.

Another new header for the website. This features my big ol’ head looking out the window of the bus on the way home. It’s not a bad picture considering I took it myself and was trying desperately to not look self-conscious.
Also included is some typographic nonsense. The colophon for this one would include references to Times New Roman and the 04B-03 and 04b-09 pixel fonts from Yuji Oshimoto’s 04FONTS.
As always, the old headers are in the deadheaders section.

A new header was posted. It’s a very old picture of me, and a new item, a bit of playfulness which I call art. You can view it if you wish.
Nice to get an art jones off my chest.

Here’s the URL of the story. Basically I was a source / interviewee about the Del Mar Fair‘s web design contest, and why not many people entered the thing. It boils down to the word not getting out.
Being the guy who formed WebSanDiego.org, I theoretically should know about such stuff.

This past Tuesday I was quoted in the newspaper. Oddly enjoyable.

I’m mortified. Broken stuff in the lab. The horror! The horror!
The multiple select tool was broken in essentially every browser. Ugh. Luckily nobody donated anything on the strength of that one.
I have now fixed it.

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty; always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself.

Yesterday I took the bus home. I’ve been taking mass transit while my car has been having trouble.
I was at the Fashion Valley Transit Center and the fireworks at Sea World started. Sea World does fireworks every night – and if you can see Mission Bay from where you are, you get to watch the fireworks. That’s a rather pleasant side effect of living in a tourist-friendly city.
A kid – clean cut in khaki’s and a pressed white shirt – possibly a cholo-kid -all of 13 years old, leapt up and ran to the second floor landing of the Transit Cenetr to watch the fireworks.
Nice to see not everyone on the planet is jaded and cynical. There should always be something that warrants a sprint up a flight of stairs.
