That’s what I do…I make glass tubes.
Posted on October 9, 2007 by Dan in city walks, food, kitties, wine.So, Rosa left out a very important fact from our walk in the city (our city walk, if you will). One of the points on the tour was the site of Philo Farnsworth’s lab when he was developing all his patents for the first television. This is the best Sportsnight reference I have ever seen […]

Guest Blogger: Ro!
Posted on October 5, 2007 by Dan in city walks, food, friends, San Francisco.Greetings world!Since KK and Dan are horrible at updating their blog in a timely manner, I flew here all the way from Reston to regulate. I arrived in Berkeley Tuesday night and was taken to Yoghurt Park, a fat-free frozen yoghurt place that is “REEEEEEEALLY GOOD.” It was late and the line was still out […]

Walk 5 & The cool gray city of love
Posted on September 9, 2007 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.The city plan of San Francisco was laid out with straight lines, much like Washington DC. However, the planner didn’t change any of the straight lines to accomodate for the 42 hills that make up the city.

Cal vs Tenn.
Posted on September 9, 2007 by Dan in Cal.Yup, football! It was an interesting experience to go, but I was really looking forward to the game. Our seats are actually really good, around the 50th row, to the sides of the endzone. Cal has a lot of traditions and chants and…stuff that we just didn’t know about, so we pretty much felt like […]

Spare the Air
Posted on September 9, 2007 by Dan in San Francisco.During days that it gets too hot (by hot, I mean in the 90’s – watch out for that heatwave) San Francisco frets about the air quality index, and on those days, encourages everyone to use public transportation instead of private vehicles to reduce the pollutants in the air. They do this by offering free […]

Mmmmmk
Posted on September 9, 2007 by Dan in random.I’m admonishing both of us because very bad bloggers we have been. We apologize for not being able to distract you from work for over a week. And after we watch the VT/LSU game that we taped, we will get in on this whole blogging thing. Lots of fun things have occurred. Including a four […]

Avenue Q
Posted on September 1, 2007 by Dan in Uncategorized.So we went to see Avenue Q last night, and it was pretty much fantastic. I haven’t seen anything quite so hilarious in a long long while. Of course, working at Berkeley, and seeing as how Dan and I went with both students and professional staff, we’re already thinking about how we can use it […]

Proud parents :)
Posted on August 28, 2007 by Dan in kitties.Tonight we adopted our kitties We got them from Petsmart – and before you attack us, please know that your friendly local Petsmart is actually an adoption site for a local animal shelter – they don’t sell cats. So anyway, it was easier for us with a Zipcar to go to one place and get […]

Quite the update
Posted on August 28, 2007 by Dan in Cal, food, San Francisco.Well, it’s been a while since I caught up with y’all on the blog, but I’ve kind of had a lot going on! When I wrote my last very short post, I was finishing up two weeks of RA Training, which means anywhere from 10-16 hour days, which gets directly followed up by move-in weekend, […]
