Wondering if or how badly the neighbors in the building would freak out were I to put an eglu in the backyard: http://bit.ly/acA6
Check out The Gav’s totally Obamaesque campaign site: http://www.gavinnewsom.com Sorry, Gav, but nobody off the coast will vote for you.
Repeating a question: If NASA began taking applications to establish a colony on mars, knowing you may never come back, would you sign up?

A few years ago, I started putting my New Year’s resolutions online. I’ve found that it’s been an excellent way to accomplish things as it both makes me really stop to consider what I intend to do,…
What a fantastic valediction: http://bit.ly/Cnoc Gomez is great, can’t believe the Chron dumps him and keeps this crap: http://bit.ly/hR27
http://twitpic.com/y46l - Just shucked my first six pack of Pacific oysters. Delicious. I love living by the sea.
“Against this backdrop, during the past several years, whenever a reporter, news...”

Tragic that The Chronicle is killing this.

Whoa. I actually wrote something on my blog today. I think I need to go take a nap now: http://bit.ly/2ddq
Single Serving Sites: A Semi-Personal History →
Rex Sorgatz released his annual year end round up of blogs today, and I was exceptionally honored to earn a mention. It wasn’t for my blog, however, it was for a website I launched almost a year ago…
Wow, Bay Bridge is a clusterfuck, I hope the 1:15 I gave myself to get to OAK airpoet is enough. Eager to see @harperbikebeer again.
I hate US Air redux: On US Airways they charge $2 for *water*. On Harper’s @Southwest flight they were giving away free beer.

http://twitpic.com/xo3h - Man I have been wanting this Gibralter for so long. Thanks, Mojo
All my incoming d messages are being delivered twice by SMS today. Common problem or just me?
The January issues of all my magazine subscriptions are skinnier than Amy Winehouse. Alarming.

“The eruption destroyed Edinburgh’s crayfish factory, and pirates looted the abandoned buildings. After the return of most of the Islanders in 1963, the Settlement was rebuilt.”
This story in the NYT on the SF cocktail scene is great (with gorgeous photos) but I’m surprised they skip NOPA & Absinth http://bit.ly/zUP7
No matter where I’ve been or how much fun I’ve had, I’m always glad to be back in San Francisco. Unreal city.
Harper gave me a wonderful book on Oysters—A Geography of Oysters. My new mission is to find and devour a Belon (or European Flat).
Case in point: just passed a guy on the sidewalk wearing a giant mariachi sombrero for no apparent reason. Nobody looked twice.
Case in point 2: dinner tonight is a half dozen locally caught oysters, a local stout, and house-made sausage at Magnolia. Delicious.
I’m guessing “Atlanta-Hartsfield” is an old Cherokee expression for “10 mile long unmoving security line”
Shit. I forgot to dowload a movie to my laptop last night. I hope this doesn’t mean I’m going to have to talk to a motherfucker.
Delays. Loudspeakers. Cramped seats and surly flight crews. Misery thy name is travel
Dreading the Atlanta airport.
Just arriving at Manuel’s. Please come say hello @ Manuel’s Tavern http://loopt.us/ALrD7w
There is no such thing as “smart” water sold by the bottle
Dear Atlanta: where can I get a gibralter (macchiato will do in a pinch) within walking distance of North Ave & North Highland?
REM playing over the speakers at Cafe di Sol. It’s like I never left (and it’s good to be back).
I love midtown Atlanta. Thanks to the gay boys and multiethnic hipsters I feel like I’m back in SF—but with better grits and worse coffee
Wait. There’s a spa & a starbucks in little 5 points? When I was a kid it was nothing but skinheads and drug dealers. Wow this place changed
Driving through old haunts in Atlanta, Girl Talk cranked loud as fuck, I feel 16 all over again
Dear Atlanta peeps: if you’ve got no plans tomorrow evening, meet me for a beer at Manuel’s Tavern at 7PM
Wasn’t there a European city square that Coco Chanel modeled the bottle for No. 5 after? I kinda remember seeing it, but can’t find it
Wasn’t there some European city square that Coco Chanel based the bottle design of No. 5 on?
Getting ready to drive back to Atlanta, completing my big Southern loop. I think I’ve personally warmed the planet about 2 degrees this trip
I love Christmas traditions. Like right now, we’re all gathered around the TV playing Gears of War II.
Check out how great @harperbikebeer & her mom look in their new hats: http://bit.ly/110uK
Merry Christmas; shitter’s full!
Just had the best hangover cure ever thanks to harper’s parents, the Kentucky Hot Brown: http://snipurl.com/932yh
http://twitpic.com/vy9s - Hello, Nashvegas (null)
Entering Kentucky, our fourth Southern state in as many days. We feel kinda like Sherman—except we’ve got presents instead of torches.
Went to a party comprised mainly of people in their 20s last night. *Exceptionally* hungover today. I am old, old, old and old.
This hangover is killing me. Would it be bad form to vomit upon arriving at my in-laws?
Just got an email from Pelosi’s office confirming our two Obama inaugruation tickets. Phew. DC, we’re on the way.
