Tearing up the plaza…

The plaza around work is going. and because of the new barrier wall, we only get glimpses of any attractive construction workers, not that I need such distractions in my life. All my resolve about not running the air conditioner too much this year is vanishing in the face of the swampy solar onslaught. My… Continue Reading

Hug like you mean it…

Leather Pride Night last night and Folsom Street East today. It’s the one time of the year when I feel most like I did living in San Francisco: part of a community of affection. In the past few years, the number of people I’ve gotten to know around the New York scene is such that… Continue Reading

We are embarrassed again…

Big drawing day yesterday, most of it accomplished while R, the savvy intern, was sitting at the computer scanning slides from decades ago.

It was a joy to come in to work today to find that my aggressive tidying of last week sent the message to the cleaning crew that they could go ahead and scrub all the surfaces down. It’s all much calmer in here. Over the weekend I read through “Visitors From Oz”, a book I… Continue Reading

Monroe’s eye…

Monroe is J and J’s pup, and he is huge, sweet and deaf. It’s interesting to see they ways in which they’ve trained him. He’s also fascinating to look at. It’s been a low key trip so far, with good people and good food and jobs well done. I’ll be back home shortly. Tags: daily… Continue Reading

Little Shuffle…

Spent a little time messing around with Aviary’s Roc – an online sample editor and came up with this: Little Shuffle.egg on Aviary. I never paid much attention to Aviary, even when my Jolicloud system kept offering up their online image editing applications, but I have to say that some of their things are pretty… Continue Reading
