I'm one of those guys in the swanky condo promo videos

This has been online for over a year, but I figured that since photos of me are so popular on the internet I’d share this video with you as well: I was featured in the background of a promo video for the SOMA Grand Lifestyle condos. You have to follow this link and fast forward [...]

Remnants of the Biosphere

via bldgblog.blogspot.com Really cool pics of nature reclaiming the biosphere. “The Biosphere, miles from nowhere when it was built in the 1980s, is now within the reach of a building boom streaking north from Tucson and south from Phoenix (and which some demographers say will eventually join the two cities, once 100 miles apart).”

No updates in a while? Look closer

This blog hasn’t gotten much attention in a while. I’ve been busy updating twitter, sharing things on google reader and blogging over at the BlinkTag blog. If you want to know what I’m up to, what I’m reading or how my business is doing, these are good things to check out.

New site design

It was about time to clean up the crusty wordpress template powering bnee.com. It was one of the first templates for wordpress I created, and it has powered this website since 2006. I’ve kept track of all of the revisions of my website since 1997, you can see the whole progression on my old stuff [...]

Warehouse Construction Video (with dance sequence)

I’ve been living in a live/work converted warehouse space in San Francisco for a few months now. Along with seven other people, we did all of the work of building out the space ourselves. My brother put together a video time-lapse montage of our progress and posted it on youtube, check it out: If anyone [...]

Welcome back

I haven’t posted recently, but if you noticed the Twitter feed on this site you probably guessed that I am still alive.

Flight of the Conchords + Google

Google arranged for my favorite band to entertain at the reception after the first day: Flight of the Conchords. How the Conchords could fit this into [...]

Baby Cheesus in the Spanger

Lisa and her family brought over a cleverly created spam manger or spanger complete with a crocodile & baby cheesus wrapped in lefse. Its great.

Buxfer, Mint & Quicken

The future of personal finance software will be online. I regularly use buxfer to keep track of shared expenses with my roommates and friends. Often we’ll share groceries or meals and its easy for one person to pay the whole bill, then enter the transaction online later and split it evenly (or unevenly) among the [...]

Myspace: gone!

Not wanting to be the last of my friends to cancel their myspace accounts, I pulled the plug today. (Preston did it the day before, but hasn’t written about it yet). I realized that I rarely logged in, most of the messages I got were spam and not very many of my friends were on [...]

Graduated

I graduated this month. My parents & grandmother came out and went to three different ceremonies: Berkeley department of City & Regional Planning, Berkeley College of Environmental Design, and Berkeley College of Engineering. I actually had the wrong color hood at the engineering ceremony, it was supposed to be gold but I was given Orange [...]

Synesthesia – My Synesthetic Alphabet
