Earlier in the week I got a random email from Ticketmaster reminding me I had tickets to a concert on Thursday. I had completely forgotten I’d ever bought them. Joshua Radin, the concert was, at the Fillmore. So anyway, Thursday night I went up to see it. Thanks to my flaky autopilot I accidentally turned… Read more
It’s been nine days short of a year since I wrote in this category, ‘Riding’.

Sadly at the time my programming was limited to RealBasic… Read more
