Last time I went the conference was in San Jose, which is (despite the presence of the Rosicrucian Museum of Egyptology), much less interesting than San Fran.
Seven heads and ten crowns
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006Today I got to fill in a form and thus get that subtle thrill of the date being 6/6/06.
Less than one calorie, sort of.
Monday, June 5th, 2006Amazing video of what happens when you add Mentos to Diet Coke complete with funky soundtrack and lab coats.
My Spidey Sense is tingling…
Monday, June 5th, 2006Judging by the number of cop cars flying down the road I’m guessing there’s a riot at Scarborough Beach (at least that’s what it was last time).
