Flying Boat Over San Francisco Bay

Picture of the Day: The Boeing 314 Flying Boat – Nicholas Jackson – Technology – The Atlantic. Beautiful picture and plane. The SF-Oakland Bay Bridge is obvious, with Yerba Buena/Treasure Island right below. But is that red tower on the north shore to the left the start of the building of the Golden Gate bridge,… Continue reading Flying Boat Over San Francisco Bay

A Hair Cut Is A Hair Enhanced

When I was growing up, I would get my hair cut at Tony’s Italian Barber in Bedford. There was a big Italian community in the town, due to the brickworks I think.

Stars – The Independent – June 20 2010

Wonderfully Mellow: WonderCon 2010

I Thought I Was The Bally Table King

Cassie’s company had a team get-together at the Pacific Pinball Museum at Lucky JuJu in Alameda, and I was able to go along a bit later, after all the speeches, eat some pizza, drink a beer, and play some pinball. After leaving work I walked to the aptly-named Ferry Building, which is a 15-minute walk.… Continue reading I Thought I Was The Bally Table King
