That’s A Lot of Internet

We live on the 17th story of an apartment building near downtown San Francisco. A quick scan of the available wifi networks shows an overwhelming number of them. It’s good to see most of them are secured.

If we load up network analysis tools like iStumbler or KisMac, we can see nearly 45 different networks!

A Plethora of Wi-fi Networks

Rock Music

Below, you will find a list of every single band and concert I’ve ever seen up to this point. Some people keep ticket stubs. I just keep anal-retentive lists.

Below are a few photos I’ve taken from some random shows:

Supporting the Boys in Blue

The National League Championship Series begins on Thursday. Just wanted to support my boys in blue.

We only need 4 wins and then we return to the World Series for the first time in 20 years. (Should the baseball gods grant it, it would be exactly 50 years after the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles)

Fun at the Cal Academy of Sciences

Last Friday, a few of us ventured into Golden Gate Park to check out a few things.

1.) The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival – We saw MC Hammer play a few numbers to a bunch of middle schoolers.
2.) The new California Academy of Sciences building. An incredible museum and research institution.

Obligatory photographs to follow.

A Reptile Dysfunction?

Courtesy of my roommate Mark, who attended a wedding this past weekend. Inside the gift bags were coasters containing this amazing gem:

“Oh My Goodness!
He has a reptile dysfunction?
I didn’t even know he owned a lizard.”

Amazing.

Just think… she could be our next President!

I present to you the following train wreck known as the Sarah Palin interviews. If McCain is elected, there is a 1 in 3 chance (perhaps more) that this woman could be our next President.

This is embarrassing.

On the $700 billion dollar rescue package.

Asked what newspapers she reads…

She didn’t make the “choice” to be gay, unlike her best friend…

She has foreign policy experience because she can see Alaska.

If a 15 year old girl is raped by a family member, she believes it should be illegal for her to have an abortion! Ridiculous!

Here she can’t name any Supreme Court cases:
