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…

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
