International ‘Delete Your Myspace’ Day!
January 30th, it’s finally here!I came across an article on Digg early last week which linked to a blogger named Simon Owens, who has set up this day to encourage as many people as possible to jettison their horrible MySpace accounts. And I couldn’t agree more.I would encourage you to check out his reasoning. He gives a list of ten solid reasons to abandon the social networking site, one of favourite reasons being:
4. You visit someone’s Myspace profile only to suddenly have music start blasting out of your speakers. Bonus points if it happens to you while you’re at work…

Crappy weather in San Francisco
It’s been pretty miserable in the city the last fews days.
This photo (from the SF Chronicle) was taken on the campus at Berkeley (where my girlfriend now studies). It’s been pretty heavy rain for a few days now, I got soaked on my lunch break and we now have a leak in our office right beside my desk. Excellent.

I booked me a little trip
As the holiday season draws to a close, I decided I needed a break from work. I’m very excited that Valerie gets back from France today and I’ll see her for lunch later today. It’s been a very long 3 weeks since I saw her last. Unfortunately, it will be a brief meeting – she leaves for a 7 day trip to Hawaii tomorrow with another French girl, Gaelle.It’s been my dream to go to Hawaii even before I moved here. I think part of the reason I moved to San Francisco was because of it’s proximity to the islands…
