Yay telecommuting!

So glad to see these forward-thinking people dealing with a collapsed freeway in a smart manner -- using the technology already at our disposal.

Client Breed No. 5: The Appreciative Client

I've been getting a kick out of this. Lots of truth here.

I'm doing a bit of work for a newer client, and so far they fall squarely in the coveted Breed No. 5: The Appreciative Client. They're a bunch of smart guys who have been more than responsive and fair to me, and I like the work I do for them. I basically landed them in a 20-minute phone conversation -- they decided they liked me and moved quickly. They've been totally above board and appreciative of my work. That's what a freelancer looks for!

Always love you, little New York

The week that I spent in New York City was incredibly happy. That city just suits me. How ironic is it that on a day like today, when it's 86 degrees in Berkeley, such a bright and beautiful day, that I think of snowy New York?

The beauty of writing in the electronic age: looking up Falco in Wikipedia and translating German to English via Babelfish.

Bob Saget's a member of the tribe!

Awesome!

I love that guy. He's SO dirty and SO funny!

Hmmm, looks kind of like the "urban youth" we hear so much about in the Bay Area. Call me a bitch, but I like the Louisville Slugger concept. I wouldn't want hoods hanging out on my doorstep at any time, day or night.

At Jumpin' Java

I was looking at this guy and thinking: Something's wrong with him. Then I realized: This is Berkeley. There's something wrong with everyone.
