Photos from San Francisco

My friend Klaus from Denmark visited for the second time this year, so I finally found some time to take some pictures. We drove to Treasure Island, then to Fort Point with a stop at the Marina, finally parking my car in Japantown. After lunch in Japan Center (Korean BBQ!) we walked to Russian Hill and back.

I seem to have more time on my hands recently, so I also managed to pick a few of the photos and finish them. The resulting web Gallery is called Autumn in San Francisco.

I'm still working on a much more important set of photos for my sister...

What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft?

Philipp Lenssen asks What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft? Very entertaining read.

Home Office Ergonomics

Today the topic of what to be careful about when designing your home office came up. For example, I had heard that you should avoid glass tables. Similarly, Eliot stressed that you ensure that your ass is not too small.

Dead MacBook

My MacBook died Tuesday, last week. Applications started crashing so I ran the diagnostics and found a RAM error. I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced the bad memory module. Unfortunately, it turned out that the logicboard was also fried :-(

Before sending the machine back for repairs, I was adviced to back up the harddrive. So I bought a "mini Pal" at Fry's only to discover it was broken. Long story short, I was finally able to turn the MacBook in for repairs on Saturday.

But what a great day Saturday turned out to be.
