One of my favorite memories from my skating days: listening to the Zamboni crunch ice and rolling the ball over my initials on Centipede. I felt like kicking some butt on the ice after I see “KIS” next to the highest score on the screen.
Guarding my blocky shooter and firing at the slithering centipede was one way I stayed warm between freestyle sessions.
I suppose I’m a child of the 80s. Last year, we had a blast at the Atari Game Night in Davis.
Now – I’m counting down to December and the opening weekend of Tron: Legacy.
I am totally excited about this remake. The trailer looks amazing. I’m also crossing my fingers. I hope it doesn’t destroy all the things that made the original movie awesome.
She’s small, light and oh so expandable with some sexy SD cards. Plus – she shoots in HD. I shot this video of my puppy with the Zi8. Daisy doesn’t need any help looking good, but with this camera, she’s gorgeous.
I know Flip has its own HD version. However, the Kodak Zi8 is so wonderfully expandable. I love being able to shoot more hours of HD goodness with those SD cards. Plus, this camera has a port for an external mic. Joy! I can finally shoot some kick-ass interviews with this camera. I can shoot some wicked concerts and record some amazing music with this camera.
Who knows, maybe I can launch a really cool project with this camera.
Mobile Me.
I was so happy to add this sexy machine to my collection of tech toys.
Bigger, faster and so slick.
Even though I jump on the upgrade wagon when it comes to my computers, I still want to hail anybody who’s willing to rock Windows 95 in a public space.
Agents for Impov Everywhere boggled minds when they carted in huge desktop monitors and towers into an NYC Starbucks. It looks like a one day deal. In my new role as a “woman of leisure,” I would love to do something like this in the Bay Area.
Almost a decade ago, Mark introduced me to some folks who pulled off similar public performance stunts. They organized a thrift store scavenger hunt in the Mission. That was also our first date. We met artists, programmers freelance writers and photographers and others who wanted a break from the rules and expectations of everyday life. The organized some lovely adult outings in the Bay Area. The legal ones included brunch at a Thai Buddhist Temple and a hiking tour of some of San Francisco’s free gardens, hidden in the hilly neighborhoods. One of the illegal outings ended with an angry train operation who yelled about calling the police.
Good times.
I suppose I express my creative side on this blog as well as in photos and video. It keeps me out of jail and it helps me remember those crazy good times.

The style, the passion and the fabulous clothes…
I fell in love with Fedrico Fellini’s “8 1/2″ at Cal. My film professor screened this film at the Pacific Film Archives. Marcello Mastroianni was brilliant as the Italian movie director who was struggling to come up with his next masterpiece.
[from http://www.britannica.com]
For extra credit, I built a web site breaking down Woody Allen’s homage to 8 1/2: “Stardust Memories”. I had a lot of fun pulling images and video for this web project.
For curiosity’s sake, I want to watch this new Rob Marshall musical: “Nine“. I’m curious to see Daniel Day-Lewis walk in Mastroianni’s footsteps.
One of the highlights of my week – interviewing Joel McHale and Ken Jeong from Community.
Both are funny men and I totally fell in love with McHale’s brand of snarky humor on the Soup. (Who needs to watch all the crap on TV when McHale can some it up with a 5-second commentary on the Soup? I know!) Both also, nearly, hijacked my show as I was counting down my anchor to wrap up the interview. We needed to hit another time slot for the Today show update and they clearly wanted to keep chatting. If you watch the interview carefully, I think you can see my anchor flinch as she hears me in her ear…saying “WRAP!”
“You can keep talking to us…I don’t care. You don’t have important news to fill.” – Joel McHale to my anchor.
Thank God for funny interviews like these because next week will be hell for me in the newsroom.
2 weeks and 3 days left.
