Hi all, BarCamp San Diego is this weekend, and you should go!

N.B., you need to sign up on the wiki page beforehand, for site security reasons.

Hi all,

Please donate to help kirinqueen meet her goal to raise $3000 for Type 1 Diabetes research. That would rule.

If you're in SoCal, consider joining the team and walking with us!

Yo.

I'll be up that-a-way this weekend, for DjangoCon. Getting in tomorrow, and planning an SF get-together with whomever wants to come.

Where

Phoenix Irish Bar

When

Tomorrow (Thursday) night, around 9

I hope to see you there!

Earlier this morning, and despite many sensible reasons not to, California's Department of Motor Vehicles decided to issue me a driver's license.

Shortly afterwards, Southern California was rocked by an earthquake.

kirinqueen and I just went on a quick trip back east, which included spending the night in several places:

• Scituate, MA
• Northampton, MA
• Saint-Pierre-de-Véronne-à-Pike-River, QC, Canada
• Lebanon, NH

The reason for the trip.

Pictures will be posted to flickr (his, hers) soon.

I immediately thought of other when reading the latest XKCD. Whatever happend to the graph?

kirinqueen and I will be having our 7th annual St. Patrick's Day party [eventful entry] at Casa O'Connor on Saturday, March 15th, at 7 PM. You should come! Some photos from previous years:

Participation in the Irish pentathlon, while optional, isn't discouraged. Speaking of the pentathlon, maddox3 negotiated a modification to the rules for this year: for those of you who can't stand stout, cider will be an acceptable substitute.

Also, as the party falls on the Ides of March, I'll relax my usual policy of refusing entry to toga-wearing folk. (I didn't realize I had such a usual policy until just now.)

I've been pretty spotty about posting invites here. Past parties include 2002 (recap), 2004, 2005, and 2007.

On the 9^th, I bought kirinqueen a white Apple MacBook as a surprise. It shipped on the 11^th and arrived on the 13^th. I gave it to her on the 14^th. She named it falkor.

On the 26^th, Apple updated the MacBook line.
