Hah, so true!

Ah, yes. Wasn’t AT&T supposed to be getting more reliable and the coverage more consistent? I wouldn’t have noticed.

Here’s a gallery of dropped calls from the past week or so.

If anything, AT&T is consistently inconsistent.

Too bad complaining on Twitter doesn’t accomplish anything.

I decided to dust off the bread pans and try to bake some zucchini bread this evening! I used this recipe, called “Mom’s Zucchini Bread.”

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cups white sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
1.) Grease and flour two 8 x 4 inch pans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2.) Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.

3.) Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add sifted ingredients to the creamed mixture, and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.

4.) Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes. Remove bread from pan, and completely cool.

Pretty successful!

Unfortunately, I shorted the amount of sugar I should have put in, so the bread isn’t as sweet as it could be. Still tasty though!

I have some bananas that are in the process of ripening as well, which means banana bread is on the menu for later this week!

Victory!

While walking through the neighborhood today, I noticed this crazy car at the corner of Page and Masonic. It looks like something I’d see at either Burning Man or Maker Faire.

Anyone know more about it?

I’m here in Austin, TX for a few days for our gdgt live event at SXSW. Since such a large contingent of the San Francisco tech crowd is here, a group of San Franciscan folks are handing out SF Embassy cards.

On March 11, 2010,
the San Francisco diplomatic mission to Austin commenced
with the establishment of
the SF EMBASSY on 6th Street.

San Francisco residents traveling to Austin for SXSW 2010
are advised to stay in close contact
with SF EMBASSY
for the duration of their visit.

Especially around brunch.

Hah, pretty awesome!

Watch out for South-by-SARS though, that’ll get you.

Kerry passed on some info about The Juliana Theory coming to San Francisco in August! They’re another one of my favorite bands and I’m sad I’ve never gotten to see them.

There’s a few things that surprised me.

1.) They broke up 10 years ago.
2.) I had no idea they were on a reunion / farewell tour.

Count me in! I’m absolutely excited.
