Starbucks count: a total of 12 and I’m not covering very much of the city. “Meet me by the Starbucks” has as little meaning in downtown San Diego as in downtown San Francisco or downtown Portland.

Starbucks count: 9, with 4 of them inside the convention center and 3 of them on the same floor. This convention center is a big place, but gimme a break.
We had dinner at Royal Thai last night. I grabbed my usual coffee drink (double Americano) and an almond croissant from St. Tropez. Both are close to the... read more

The day started with an AFI session, AFI Screen Education Center: Digital Filmmaking in the Core Curriculum. This began with a fairly unnecessary speech about why we were all there, an explanation that’s not needed by a group of people willing to show up... read more

My interests find me in various spots of the Web. Dabbling in lots of different things means that I have reason to read lots of sites. As I’ve mentioned on here before, my interest in design takes me to a lot of sites ... read more

A few interesting things have happened at my school this past week. I finished grading 4 sets of in-class essays; I dropped a performance final on my guitar class; I enjoyed a Friday without seniors; I nearly set my building on fire by leaving the broiler on in the faculty lounge (yeah, we have an oven in there and a dishwasher, too).
But the really interesting changes have to do with technology... read more

Oh, the things you’ll find when surfing!
If you haven’t enjoyed a good bout of Internet surfing anytime recently, a few hours spent clicking on interesting pictures or phrases or titles and enjoying the results, I highly recommend it.

While clicking and reading online the other day, I heard a news report about a new teenage method of getting drunk. I think that it dealt with using cough medicine to achieve the high, but I can’t be certain. Honestly, I wasn’t paying attention. My iBook was far more interesting.

Anyhow, a stuffy gentleman caught my attention for... read more

Today brought the 2nd of 3 Spring Saturday events sponsored by the San Jose Area Writing Project. Titled Super Saturday, these events offer 3 different workshops, typically one each for elementary, junior high, and high school. Our numbers were slightly lower than the last 2 Saturdays we met, but we still had a good turn out with roughly 47 participants in attendance.
I gave the opening speech... read more
