		<description><![CDATA[I never met Steve Jobs, but he changed the course of my life. When I entered college in the mid-’80s, I did so as an Electrical Engineering/Computer Science (EECS) student. My high school counselor noted that I had taken our school’s computer classes and told me, “Computer programming would be a good field to go [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hawaii…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…(vacation pictures). Photos from a trip to Hawaii—Oahu, Maui, and The Big Island (Hawaii)—from last November. ^ From behind Matsumoto’s Shave Ice in Haleiwa, cats lazing in the mid-80 degree, November heat. ^ At the Papawai Scenic Lookout along Maui’s Highway 30 you can see Maui’s southeast coastline, the volcanic remains of Molokini, and Lanai.

		<title>Eat more chicken…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…and more chicken parts. Miss T and I had been wanting to try out Ippuku, a new izakaya in Berkeley, ever since we saw the construction signs go up for it. Earlier this month we had a chance to try it out. An izakaya is a Japanese eatery akin to a pub or tapas bar. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuffing my fat face…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…at Fat Face (’natch). Located in a light commercial zone behind a flooring shop, Fat Face may be the anchor for a mini gourmet ghetto (along with Let Them Eat Cake!) on the edge of downtown Davis. Actually, with limited hours* and only a small, handpainted sign to announce its presence, make that a secret [...]]]></description>

		<title>San Diego and…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…Comic-Con. Once again, Miss T and I headed SoCalward to brave the (not-so-)costumed crowds at San Diego Comic-Con International. For 2010 we only bought tickets for Thursday—which really wasn’t enough time to take in the sights—though Miss T finagled her way back in on Sunday for the end of the show. For our single-day excursion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Objects in motion…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…at Downtown Berkeley BART. “Stairs” that move on their own. A Fremont-bound train. A Richmond-bound train. Lastly, another woman on the stairs (she’s heading down). As usual, larger pix are at maxpixpix on Picasa.]]></description>

		<title>Farewell LOST ad…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…from DHARMA Initiative Travel. After this past weekend’s LOST finale, I was going through some boxes of old magazines and came across what I believe was DHARMA Initiative Travel’s last ad from a 2007 issue of Oceanic Airlines’ INflight magazine. I’ve personally never used DHARMA Initiative Travel to book a flight, car rental, or hotel [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last LOST supper…</title>

		<title>LOST beer…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…(and wine). Sometimes you don’t want wheat ale, double stout, Albanian pilsner, or double-hopped Bavarian pale lager. Sometimes you just want beer. DHARMA Initiative Beer. After a hard day of being a workman in Dharmaville or an afternoon spent repairing a DHARMA van, nothing hits the spot like a cold, refreshing DI Beer. Mmm… beer. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solution for LOST boarding pass…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…customize a new one. One of the great conveniences of modern-day travel is the ability to print your own airline boarding passes in the comfort of your own home/office/hotel room/motorcycle sidecar/wherever. Oceanic Airlines has gone a step further by allowing you to not only print your own boarding pass, but to choose your own flight [...]]]></description>

		<title>LOST salad dressing…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…refrigeration required. I’m not sure why the DHARMA Initiative Ranch Composite we have at The Hut is different than the Ranch Composite that gets shipped to DI stations on the island. Key differences: size &#8211; 13 ounces at The Hut, 1 gallon on the island; and, refrigeration &#8211; yes for The Hut, no for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free cupcake…</title>

		<title>A short walk…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[…on a long pier. In mid-March, when the Bay Area’s weather briefly turned summerlike—it has since returned to late-winter temps—Miss T and I visited Pier 14 along San Francisco’s Embarcadero. Rather than bore you with the recent history of the refurbished Pier 14, let me bore you with 9 more Pier 14 photos: As usual, [...]]]></description>
