Volunteering, Ray Bradbury, and Chalga

Date April 29, 2007

I have a hard time posting quick stream of conscious posts and usually feel the need to re-read, edit, research etc…before submitting a post. Reason being is that I usually don’t want to just splat something up for the sake of it. I want it to be something worth contributing that people will find interesting. [...]

3.1 Magnitude Earthquake with Epicenter 6 Miles from my House

Date April 23, 2007

I live in Chatsworth California, just on the border of Northridge, so I should be accustomed to earthquakes…but I’m not. I don’t think you can ever get used to them. So less than an hour ago when my room started to shake I braced for what appeared to be a decent sized quake. Turns out [...]

Date March 22, 2007

Today in the Web 2.0 era it’s more commonly referred to as “Social Networking”. My experience has been primarily based around managing web development. I’ve been [...]

Seeking Bukowski Inspired Films

Date October 31, 2006

So I’m finishing Septuagenarian Stew yesterday and one of the final stories is called “Mad Enough” which appears to be based on Buk’s experiences around the film “Tales of Ordinary Madness” which according to IMDB was the first film adaptation of a Buk story.
Mad Enough is an interesting story in which Buk doesn’t hide his [...]

Checking Traffic Online Provides a Surprising Chuckle

Date October 18, 2006

As a resident of Southern California with a long commute to work in the morning , and by long I mean measured by time not distance as is often the case, I’m addicted to sigalert.com. The site provides real-time traffic data for all freeways in southern California (as well as other areas of California and [...]
