Sheeeesh...Did I totally forget about this site or what? I haven't taken any new photos lately so I'll post this picture that a photographer took of me at the Prairie City Race Series.

The Fighting Hydrants were the three short guys on the SF Giants team during the 1999 season: F.P. Santangelo, Marvin Benard, and Armando Rios. Mike Krukow gave them the nickname.

Here's a pic of the Fighting Hydrants t-shirt worn by a pitcher (who's name I loathe to even think about) warming up in the old Candlestick confines.

When I was a kid, whenever we went into San Jose, the family car would zoom under this structure. It would be years before it was finally completed.

I'm going through some old boxes and stumble upon forgotten Apple hardware. It's wierd now seeing the old logo with the rainbow colors after I thought I'd never get used to the plain white logo.

I might have to set up the PowerMac on the other desk, if only for nostalgic reasons. It's an 8500 with an alarming 180mhz of high-speed slowness.

I'm one of those people who thought they'd never use anything but a Mac for the rest of their lives. But you now how it is, unless you have some sort of graphic design job, you'll most likely end up using a PC.

Does the Apple campus in Cupertino still have those huge GUI icons on their lawn?

When I went to the market with my cousin in the Philippines, I found that I tended to favor the outdoor area where the vegetables, fruits, and the like were sold.

That's because when we were in the indoor meat section, I had to watch out for the butcher knives that swung into the air. It wasn't that I was in danger of having my head cut off or anything. It was because of the stuff that would fly off of the knives as they arced into the air and also the stuff that splashed out after the knife came crashing down on its target.

I'll just leave it at that.

So as you drive down the highway and come up behind a vehicle with personalized license plates that say "PUREVIL", you think to yourself:

"Dude, if you're gonna drive around with "PUREVIL" on your car, at least have a red or a black colored car.....because they shouldn't go on a WHITE car!"

Just finished reading Christopher Moore's new book entitled "You Suck". It's the sequel to "Bloodsucking Fiends". And as always, I think he's the only author that can make me consistently laugh out loud while reading one of their books.

After doing a quick search online, it seems that I can't find any sort of cross-reference chart of all the characters that Moore intertwines throughout his books. Hmmm....and I wonder how come I've never created one myself...
