Bacon’s Pills

On a confusing set of daily medications, Bacon is truly a Begbie now.

Be sure not to mix up the "Two once a day" with the "One twice a day" with the "One three times a day" with the "Two every day for three days, then every other day".

DOGS ARE HARD! LET'S GO SHOPPING!

The current state of my MacBookPro

You can almost make out that there's a computer under there somewhere.

Plastic Flamingos

Our neighbourhood

Gorgeous day in Ingleside.

Happy grafitti

You have unlocked the “Taunt the Sleeping Man at Club de Ville” badge

Dan’s ‘do

As shy and retiring as always

Pistachio talks

Interviewed at the ONEfourtée drinks

“The Big Oh!”

Bacon, scrambled egg, chiles, cheese and tortilla chips, in a waffle cone. Delicious!

Schwagbags

Oh, so much unnecessary crap

56K v.92

Blimey! Apparently Staples still sells 56k modems. Wonder who the target market is for them?

Balboa Park BART Panorama

The result of a quick test of the exceedingly nifty AutoStitch iPhone app. You take a load of snapshots, and it joins them together relatively-seamlessly.

Today’s TODOs

For the I Hate Mike Monteiro birthday celebration.

Tony’s got his rally cap on

Didn't help! The Giants lost 7-0.

Fantastic day for a game at AT&T Park.

Garlic Fries

With a much-needed bowl of breath mints nearby.

The best ballpark food in the country? Possibly. Also outstanding: the Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs for sale at the Tres Agaves cart.

SuperPoke Sheep baseball cap

The rather natty cap us Sliders have been given to wear, whilst enjoying this afternoon's Giants game. Hurrah for working two blocks from AT&T Park!

I’m not sure Clyde has got the hang of this whole “pet bed” business

Attempts to convince Bacon that Clyde deserved the larger pet bed were unsuccessful.

Slide lobby art

New art was hung yesterday in the lobby at 301 Brannan. Bonus: You'll have something to read while waiting for the elevator (it incorporates a page from "A Projection of Species Extinction")

The advantages of working from home #2: live Red Sox games

(This is taken at the same time as my previous shot, just with the iPhone 3GS's press-to-focus set to the TV, so the lighting balance got changed. Nice!)

The advantages of working from home #1: Quiet officemates

The bassets are less likely to be having interesting conversations that I get drawn into, dragging me away from whatever I'm working on.

My name is…

Yes, I stood at a party, iPhone out, registering my facebook vanity URL. I am that person.

Obviously pleased with shelf.

Sketched by a co-worker when I was wearing this t-shirt.

Thank you, whopooped.org/.

SuperPoke! Pets Masterpiece Collection

I got postcards printed by Moo.com of some designs from the SuperPoke! Pets masterpiece collection. Damn, our designers are talented.

AT&T Park

Such a glorious way to spend Memorial Day. Great beer, garlic fries and a Ghirardelli hot fudge sundae.

Oh, and some guys running around throwing a ball around.

Applewood Bacon & Apple Pie

Yum!

Press button…

Guess which of these rules I added.

Bacon & Avacado Sushi

My favourite dish.

Done Dippin’

The aftermath.

Enjoying the dip

Dippin’

Joy’s dip

Came third in audience voting. Cal wanted to smear it on his face and enjoy a bacon facial.

Bacon Cosplay‽

Bacon & Eggs

Cookies or Sausages?

Bacon Hat

Bacon Preparation

Joy starts working on her Bacon & Blue Cheese dip.

Made it to the top

On the way up

Clyde is aging, and stairs are not his strong point. (You try dragging 70lbs on little stumpy legs!) He made his way up from the beach masterfully, though.

Bacon Barking on the Beach

Playtime!

Dogasm!

Charge!

From here to eternity

Wide eyed

Clyde contemplates the ocean

Downhill is the easy part

Fort Funston

Part of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, one of my favourite places in SF is Fort Funston, especially on a 60ºF sunny Sunday like today. It's a fantastic place to take Bacon & Clyde. They run around off-leash with lots of other dogs in a lovely sandy area next to the Pacific.

The #Current debate viewing party

Laptops out, twittering along, hoping to get on TV! (A small handful of us managed!)

Production Control Room

During a test run of Hack the Debate.

Our operators are standing by

This is either the Twitter-scanning nerve-center of the Current TV Hack the Debate coverage, or we're having a pledge drive.

Bob & Kelly

I'm presently encouraging Joy to try drinking coffee, and as part of that, today introduced her to "latté names"

Ridley gets dressed-up

…and our dogs breathe a sigh of relief that they don't make doggie costumes in fat-basset sizes!

Bacon in South Park

Enjoying running round and barking at the other dogs. Loudly.

Ridley the Pug

Tara Hunt's adorable new pug. His tongue seems to be too big for his mouth, so is always sticking out to the side.

Clydepeetrail

Clyde was taking a leak, then decided he needed to sniff something across the sidewalk. Sadly, he's old, so stopping wasn't an option, thus this attractive lumbering pattern.

I’m meeellllttiiiiiinngg

Ice Cream Sandwiches on the rooftop. Hurrah!

Giants lager mitts

Enjoy drinking beer, but tired of the inevitable handcramps from holding the bottle? Get your SF Giants Lager Mitt from the stand at MoMo's, across from AT&T Park.

Wines, not Wings

I only caught this sign out of the corner of my drunken eye this evening. At first, I was bemused that "Rex-Goliath Wings" would advertise with a rooster eating a drumstick. Only once I read it more clearly and realised what the rooster was *meant* to be holding did it seem lest tasteless (albeit mildly more bizarre)

Liquor, Coffee & Scripture

An odd selection of signs on this liquor store. (And another Eye-Fi test… this photo was uploaded via the Wi-Fi hotspot in the McDonald's behind me as I took the photo, and was in Flickr before I got back to my desk)

Trinkets

First photo taken (and automatically uploaded and geotagged) with my new Eye-Fi Explore card.

I never saw much point in the olde Eye Fi cards, when they could only upload to your home network (if I'm already home, I'm already near my laptop and can grab the photos), but with the hotspot support, on-the-go uploading suddenly becomes viable from my nice camera.
