With the help of Kendrick Kwok, I developed my first roll of film last night at the Stanford Photo Lab (in the basement of the art gallery). While I remember printing a photograph back in high school, I don’t recall ever having developed film. I found it to be both…

I had lunch the other day with Dardy and Mr. Syndromes at Los Charros in Mountain View. As usual, Dardy and I ordered the scrumptious wet burritos with fried carnitas. Being a vegetarian, Syndromes got the the veggie burrito. I hope that Los Charros doesn’t go out of business, because…
