11/26/08 Five-color press check & a Wiimote hacking DJ

Quite a day today. This afternoon, I went to the press check for the CLCV Scorecard at Alonzo Printing in Hayward. That’s always fun (no, really). I got to go on the tour for about the fourth time (because I was there with my new boss; it was her first time there). I think Alonzo [...]

11/7/08 my Bay Area first after six years

gohlkusmaximus calls it for Obama

If you add the 200 electoral votes NBC News has called for Obama to the 55 he’s going to win in California, the 7 he’ll win in our neighbor to the north (Oregon), and the 11 in the great state of Washington, and, heck, give him the 4 in Hawaii… that gives him 277 right [...]

Today’s the day!

My third niece, Susan Louise Gohlke, was born today in North Carolina! I get to meet her in about six weeks.
Edit: Here she is!
