Access to pictures of various things going on in my life.

 
I had a nice weekend, with various activities, and still enough quiet time so it wasn't rushed. Friday night I went with Alissa to see Steven's "Yellow Fever Express" show at the SF Fringe festival. I helped him with a projector and setup. After that I met Augusta at Ticouz for tea and a wonderful french crepe with fresh figs, white chocolae and ice cream.

On Saturday I went to the Power to the Peaceful with Luis, Allisa and Gary. I discovered a new band called Flipsyde. They were very cool, kind of Beastie Boys meets Santana. It has been a long time since I heard live scratching by a DJ on stage. Very cool. Saturday night I watched dutch TV via the internet. I use a program called WM Recorder that lets me record the whole show in high quality and then watch it. I can also watch it as streaming media, but then the quality is much lower, and sometimes it has to pause for buffering. Later that evening I read up on build-yourself-amps on a Swedish website, and I ordered one kit. I also found out how to use your PC Soundcard as a Real Time Analyzer and osilloscope using TrueRTA, this seems very cool.

On Sunday I went to a tour of the Scharffenberger chcolate factory in Berkeley with Annica, Colby, Luis and Janice. It was a very nice tour, with lots of information. At night I went for a short climbing session at Berkeley Iron Works followed by a nice session in their Sauna. Afterwards I bought some Superlite Raw Colostrum, this is raw milk from cows after calving (3-4 days), and supposedly contains lots of nutrients. Let's see how well my digestion likes this milk. All in all a very nice weekend, with lots of different activities.
