Recent Reads

I just finished reading a couple of great books.

Freakonomics is an insightful look inside the social trends in America, involving crime rates, drug trafficking, and racial discrimination. Steven D. Lewitt thinks of provocative questions (e.g. why did crime rates drop in the ’90s?) and comes up with answers generally ignored and dismissed by the [...]

Flickr Collections

Finally! Flickr has introduced a way to organize sets. They’re calling their new feature “collections”. You can read more on the Flickr blog:

What are collections, you ask? A collection is a container into which you can place either sets or other collections, allowing you to create a hierarchy as deep as 5 [...]

Yesterday, Mitra and I stumbled upon a Cake Show at the La Jolla Village Square shopping center. We later learned that this event is held annually by the San Diego Cake Club. This confirms my new belief that there are clubs for everything.
The cakes were, well, really freakin’ amazing. After walking through [...]

Birthday Photos

I posted photos from my birthday dinner at Cafe Coyote in Old Town on March 4.
Thanks to everybody who showed up!

Survivors of Orange Grove: Recording Session #1

Last night we had our first recording session for “The Survivors of Orange Grove High”. It was more of a pre-recording session really.

Chazz and Nick (who co-wrote the film) want me to do the music. We met yesterday in my parents’ garage in RB, mainly to test-bed the Fast Track Pro. I [...]
