things i saw in san francisco yesterday:
personal time off
phones..
more voicemail. people never stop calling.
you know, most of my time in the voicemail system is spent “rewinding” multiple times so i can discern the phone number the person is telling me to call them back on. if he would stay at his desk, i could simply ‘reply’ to his voicemail.. or better, he could email me, which i check even when i am not at my desk.
in the eye of the beholder
this morning i got an evite, inviting me to a send off party for a talented artist i know. apparently he’s moving to new york.
i was in the shower this morning, thinking about the invitation with mixed emotions. it made me think, he’s entering a new chapter in his life. my pessimism had me thinking, what was my part in his life? i should show up in appreciation for being a part of his life and see him off.
there are 33 people on the evite, excluding myself. i know 11 of them, and have met another 3. what would this party be like?
then later this morning i remembered, last night i dreamt one of my issues at work resolved itself.
here’s to a decade of net
was futzing around with google and found the oldest appearance of my name in usenet, along with one of my first posts. my, how time flies.

“sometimes you want to go
where everybody knows your name,
and they’re always glad you came;
you want ot be where you can see,
out troubles are all the same;
you want to be where everybody knows your name.”
