It’s February, it must be Dorkbot. It appears that Valentine’s Day is on-deck.
The Linuxization of the Gadgetry
(December 3) This week, helped a friend move, saw Dorkbot.
The MTA is broken. Very very broken.
It’s not really showing slides.
Which more or less boils down to….
Next to the junk truck, we have the cheeky booty.
I love the cobblestone streets.
(September 20) Dragged myself to Software Freedom Day Party at Limewire, having pitched it all week to various parties. A few hours walking around with my bad back was enough, but it was well worth going.
The rooftop at Limewire is suh-weet,
The view ain’t too shabby either,
Met some new interesting people, like Paul Garrin,
Saw familiar interesting people, like Forest Mars and Sunny Dubey,
Saw friends, like Tony_M, (right)
I finally “met” people I already knew, like Dave Williams,
And finally saw the bathrooms Jay Sulzburger spoke so avidly of.
(September 3) The parts of my life that generally go off without a hitch are those whose dates and times are well established long in advance. Primarily these are Python workshops and Dorkbot meetings. This month they were on consecutive days.
One of the presenters is a shape-shifter.
After Dorkbot, I finally got a replacement shot for an image I’d put into masthead image rotation. I liked the original shot, but I’d taken it from the wrong angle, and it had a fuzziness that I grew not to care for.
Cue the Burt Bacharach, hurricane season is in full swing.
Speaking of rain…
Dorkbot is one of my favorite things to go to. Nobody knows me there;
it’s all fun and no work when you’re on the audience side of the podium.
His heart beats, you see it in realtime.
You can watch him use the various parts of his brain too.
Yes, Pete has a cup of black coffee in one hand, and a lit cigar in the other, and he’s rollerblading in Central Park.
(he’s wearing the same shirt as last time too)
Back on Smith St. in Brooklyn, they let some kids decorate the boards used to conceal a construction site. They should do this more often.
Back to Central Park, Pete leads the newbies through the AIDS walk after-crowd.
The cops eventually made them clear out. Surprised?
Finally it was off to visit Josh at the Harold & Kumar Frat House.
