I'm blogging this...

If anybody still reads this, you should check out: http://preview.local.live.com/ - and choose San Francisco from the menu.. Sadly, I drove all the way to Lombard street and saw it blanked out. It is from Microsoft so there seem to be many bugs still.. but hopefully it has potential.

I wish I could communiate how amazing this area is into blog format. On Saturday, a coworker and I grabbed a chai from a local coffee shop (oh, you have to be anti-Starbucks here .. actually you really need to find a lot of things to be anti about here of course, anti- W. Bush is a given). All of a sudden I turned around and these 2 guys are chatting up about YouTube and Google and TiVo philosophy. Maybe it's more like a religion here.. a religion with really cool tshirts (seriously, I have a collection of tech shirts now (scroll down and see me sleeping in the Google shirt)). Anyway, I thought they were some "famous" people from a tech company but now I don't really think they were. I guess this story is pretty lame but seriously they could have been! That's how cool this area is. While everyone else sips their Chai and goes on pretending like they've never heard of them.

I'm not sure I've communicated my passion for produce in this blog yet. But since I've been down here, I've been religiously going to Farmer's Markets all around the area (every little city has one, rather every 20 blocks you can find a new one). The past few weeks I've been slipping; I've started getting frustrated paying $3.00 for a lb for green beans or $3.50 for a lb of peaches, etc. I Yelped! (another great website and another web success that I know the people who started it) and found The Milk Pail.. a crazy, random, extremely small, overcrowded produce store that sells extremely cheap (with respect to California prices) produce and cheese... every kind of cheese imaginable. Yes folks, this is my passion - getting good quality produce at reasonable prices.. is that kind of pathetic?

Not much to report with teaching... not much to report with exploring the Bay (next weekend, I'm hopefully going to see Berkeley) ... not much to report with the weather (other than the fact that I'm still comfortably wearing skirts and sandles)...

Enjoy your week!
