Sharks and Cyber culture

I went to the sharks game last night with Kelly and Caitlin, it’s so cool to see how excited she gets there. She yells at the players “NO! STOP!” when they hit each other :) I also went to Recycle Books and picked up *3* new books about cyber culture. I’m reading the first one right now. It’s about the late 80’s hacker group called ‘Masters Of Deception’ – MOD for those who were around at the time. It’s reasonably interesting, but more from a human interest standpoint than a cultural or anthropological one.

Earthquake

Ooo, just had a really really good earthquake. According to the reports it’s about 120 miles away, and was a 6.5 (For reference, the Oakland Loma Prieta quake in ’89 was a 6.9). Our whole building (in north sunnyvale) was shaking, not enough for stuff to fall, but enough to throw your balance off a tiny bit when walking. A whole bunch of us thought we were suddenly dizzy. One newcomer jumped up and was like ‘DO WE NEED TO EXIT THE BUILDING’, and most of us were prarie-dogging saying ‘Nah, wait till you hear cracking or clanking. Then run.

Thoughts..

Hmm, I just realized this is my 100th entry. Wow. Anyways. I’m trying to do a design for a new blog. I did a rough outline here but there’s something about it that’s not right, and I don’t know what… :( Hmmm

Mac in working order

My new power adapter arrived from Apple for my powerbook, so it’s full steam ahead! w00t!!! Not only that, but some of my regular reads are starting to post again, and I’m discovering a few other new ones.

Life goes on..

This weekend was good, I got to spend a lot of time with Caitie, she rocks my world! Got my usual saturday morning dose of Rocket Fuel, and have been not doing much else. Work is work. The power adapter shorted out on my powerbook and they haven’t sent me a new one yet (reported it wednesday, and they told me it would be here by Friday) so my powerbook is officially out of service until a new one turns up. Apple’s online handling of their repair cases sucks, btw. I am displeased with it. I really want to work on my new blog design but until I have a Mac.. *sigh*
