Felix is moving out of California! Where he goes next is up in the air, but the choices are narrowing as Felix takes more trips around the country. TN, GA, CO, OR, WA, anywhere but CA apparently! Friends from all sports, cycling, climbing, running, and cars gathered at his place…

I have a confession to make. My lips have never tasted beer. Heck, for the longest time, I didn’t even know that beer was carbonated! After the wedding, we’ve got all these drinks — Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider, Pepsi liters, and Riesling wine — left lying around the house. Somehow, a…

Dana Elcar, most famous [to me] for playing MacGyver’s boss, Pete Thornton, died on Monday of complications from pneumonia. He had a long and productive life, but I’m still feeling sad. MacGyver was my favorite TV show growing up. Pete and Mac had great chemistry together up until the last…

From the time that I first met Petrice, she’s been studying for her Masters in Nursing from UCSF. This past Friday, we celebrated her graduation from the program with her friends and family! The commencement was held at a packed Nob Hill Masonic Center in San Francisco. Rae and I…

It’s official, Apple will be transitioning to Intel-based Macs in the next two years. The “soul of the Mac” is the operating system, not what processor or hardware the computer runs on. That said, how different is an Intel-based Mac from a stock PC running Windows or Linux? The $999…

We’re looking for presenters to talk about uploading photos using pbase and Flickr, along with any other third-party image gallery sites that are out there. If you…
