I went to Carlsbad and camped this weekend. Was awesome in so many ways. I miss it already. Lately I’ve really just wanted to live at the beach. In fact, Friday night I slept on the beach, something I havn’t done before yet enjoyed it extremely. Enjoy the photos, I wish it was still the weekend.

This year I really want to go to South by South West. I’ve known about it since 2003, and wanted to go ever since then. This year I think I am top of it early enough to go and have a good time. I also have 6 months of saving in order to really have a good time. Craig Newmark (creator of Craigslist is one of the keynotes which is something to look forward too.

This is my entry to dedicate myself to going this year. Yes it’s a few months away, but why not plan ahead? I’m even creating a category in preparation!

Google Talk is here… the much rumored IM client has now been released. Head over to google.com/talk and download the client. Right now it is only available for windows xp users, yet you can connect to the server through other clients. I have download and am testing it out as I can.

You can also check out a post over at ForeverGeek for a longer write up.

Yeah, that’s a fat stack of hundreds that I’ve had for awhile. Sometimes I’m good at saving. So I thought I would record the moment I held that much cash in my hand.

Just something fun for today.

Go through the links on the page… alot of the commentary is funny.

Murphy and Jack Johnson all in one day. The gf’s new dog is awesome in so many ways. His huge ears get everywhere and his back legs are hilarious. Probably one of the best dogs to be around… not to hyper, but just enough for you to laugh and love watching him all the time.

Now on to Jack… Great show. One of the best ways to spend my Sunday night period. We had lawn seats at the Verizon wireless ampitheatre which was lots of fun even though it was really really packed. I wasn’t able to get really any good shots, but hey, I was there, and it was awesome.

Just looking through the blinds, and wanted to take a photo.

Was a great weekend. Uncles surprise birthday party, and then a wonderful time on Balboa Island with the gf.
