Michelle, Ian, and Dana downtown San Diego at The Field. Thought I would put up a few more iPhone snaps (I feel like I never use my Nikon, anymore!) from last week.  We went to downtown San Diego on Dana’s last night in town, and visited a grand total of 3 establishments, the first of which is an actual Irish pub called The Field. The Field was originally built in Ireland, and later broken down,...

Take a Long Drive With Me
What’s going on? Well, a little and a lot. We have been a bit helter skelter, thither and yon. Most recently, we went to Los Angeles to see our many friends, including Dan and Sonja, who are on their long-awaited honeymoon. We all saw Chronicle in the same theater with Simon Pegg. Prior to that trip, we had spent an entire week with my brother and sister, who road-tripped all the...

Top Songs of 2011 ~ Playlist
Thanks to Kevin Cray, I’ve been fooling around on Grooveshark for a week or so. Turns out, you can make playlists for other people to stream. Joy!

2011 ~ Retrospective
2011 was a year of transformations. A year of passings, and new arrivals. Joel lost his grandpa, and his aunt. We got married! We were at 4 other occasions to witness friends get hitched. We put over 30,000 miles on Joel’s car. The Year in Travel The Honda Accord accrued a great many thousand miles in 2011. Joel, and then Joel+Bree made a great many trips across the country in it. In...

IFTTT Test
Since M.G. Siegler reminded me about IFTTT today, I thought I’d create one to test out sharing posts between WordPress and Tumblr. Testing, testing… 1, 2, 3.
