GIANTmicrobes
Cute and cuddly anthromorphisations of microscopic elements. We picked up a couple (stomach ache and athletes foot) at the Exploratorium today, and even gave a bed-bug to someone this evening as a housewarming gift!

Joy and I sat on the beach for a while, watching some local dogs frolic in the waves.

Curt’s Post-Game Interview
One out shy of a no-hitter, Curt Schilling talks to Tina Cervasio of NESN.
Curt Pitches
This was out number 24 en route to what looked like a no-hitter.
LOUDER! NOISE!
Apparently, in Oakland the crowd need to be *told* to cheer their team.

The view from our seats
Here's what it looked like from Row 35 in Section 110 of the McAfee Coliseum. The tickets were considerably cheaper (and easier to come-by) than their Fenway equivalents.

Jelly Belly
At the Jelly Belly factory.
1 Infinite Loop
When we arrived, there was someone posing next to the sign and having his photo taken. I'm not that much of a fanboy, so I just took a shot out the car window as I drove by.
(I did end up spending $120 in the Apple Company Store, though!)
“Door to Nowhere”
One of Sarah Winchester's more interesting architectural features -- the door from the second floor to the garden.
Hard Hat
Joy wearing her hard-hat, before we went a-adventuring on the Winchester Mystery House behind-the-scenes tour.

movabletype.org: Welcome to MTOS: the Movable Type Open Source Project
MovableType to be GPLed. I’ll take “Two Years Too Late” for $400, please, Alex.
Mini Golf
Looking through the list of "Things To Do In San Jose" that was in our hotel, Joy immediately went "Oooh!" when she saw a mini-golf course.

A big nasty thing that’ll bite your head off…

The Line at Pink’s
We went to get hot dogs at Pink's, having heard good things about them, but a 45 minute wait in the sun didn't appeal. Maybe another time.
