Pokemon Go
What’s the big hook about this smartphone game? It’s the thrill of the hunt, both for monsters and for pokeballs. You need the latter to go after the former. You also need an external battery and unlimited data because this game sucks both. Fun way to get your exercise. Look forward to hunting when I […]

Y is for Yikes!
Golden State mugged Cleveland in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, 110-77. And the game wasn’t as close as the score would seem. By the beginning of the 4th quarter, the secondaries from both teams were playing. Next game is on Wednesday in Cleveland. Feel free to ignore the related article below. Related articles The […]

X is for X
Today’s entry is a cheat. X is one of the original punk bands out of LA. It was one of the first songs I recognized and actually tracked down when I was in middle school. This was part of my formative years. I still think that this song wraps up Los Angeles in three minutes.

W is for weather
It’s the change of seasons here in San Francisco. The rain has stopped and it has been warm. But now it’s hella windy and it’s socked in. It’s almost summertime!

V is for view
This is the view 10 minutes west of my place. In the center is Seal Rock, a rock where seals used to hang out on. It’s extraordinarily clear because it was 9C and winds gusting to 40 kph. It’s almost summertime (the coldest time of the year in San Francisco)!

U is for upgrades
Nothing makes a transpacific flight better than confirmed upgrades after you click “purchase”. Usually, my upgrades clear from within a few days of the flight to an hour before. Suffice to say, it’s usually pretty stressful right before the flight. I have to fly US based airlines, so the experience is usually south of awful, […]

T is for Taxes
Since my tax situation is complicated this year, the always swamped accountant filed the extension and punted my returns until after the 18th. Today is the day of reckoning, where the Federal government yet again will rape me and my family with no jelly. There’s a reason only liberals and government types luurve tax day. […]

S is for slowly
Blog updates will be coming a bit more slowly over the next week. Since I’ve returned to SFO, things to write about will be a tad less interesting and a lot more rant-y. Because if you’re not angry about how things are here, you’re either not paying attention, part of the problem or just too […]

Q is for Queue Jumpers
Nothing says “Welcome to China” more than the hand to hand combat in the daily queue or on the Shanghai Metro. I rode up the lift with a couple of mainlanders. It literally became a fast walking race to the desk, with the mainlanders trying to slide in front of me and hailing the clerk […]
