Berkeley Trip in February 2008
Hopefully no one will hate the Twitter tie in thing. I just wanted a record of all my twitters, and it’s neat to look back and see what I was doing that day.
So, after a fun long weekend in Berkeley with my friends maiki, Susan, Kimi, Justin, Jason and others, I’m back at work. It’s just 3 days, so it won’t be too bad.
Anyway, back to the visit. I had a really great time! We helped Katie and her roomie move into their new apartment. We used the A-team soundtrack for motivational purposes. It made the job a lot of fun. We also implemented a ‘bucket brigade’ method of moving boxes and most light furniture. A person was places every couple of paces, and we just ferried the payload from person to person, even up steps. It worked great, and it made it fast too.
Friday I tagged along with maiki and we went to a coffee place called Village Grounds. (Which, interestingly, has a flash website that delightfully hits all our talking points on why flash is bad for web design) He worked on some web stuff, while I did some fiction writing. I wrote by hand, which I haven’t done in a while. I remember why I used to do it though, ideas flowed very well. I think I’ll stick to that from now on. After about 3 pages worth, we made our way back, snagged a burrito from Monte Cristo, which was excellent.
I don’t know, lots more happened but the days all kind of blur together. And I’m lazy.
