If I had the discipline to keep a top ten list of the films I like, this one would be very close to the top. It’s a newly restored print and it will be playing in my neighborhood next month. I can’t really say how excited I am about this.

Andrew Mager and I took a break from CNET to go down to see the Olympic Torch run and the Protests along the Embarcaderro today.

Google seems to be rolling out a widget to display UNIX Man pages when you search for man + [term]… kinda like when you search for weather + [zipcode]… the only problem is that it does not seem to be working yet, at least not for me.

Even though it allows you to subscribe and shows a demo, it’s still not working for me. Try it out and post a comment if you get it to work!

Making Signs and Hanging Them

Originally uploaded by iamconrad

Austin and I painted this sign today and hun it out the bedroom window, onto Market Street in San Francisco.

THIS IS AN INVITATION TO A FUN NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY

IT’S ALSO A HOUSEWARMING PARTY

Come see our new place! It’s really weird. There is a secret passage way, and we will show it to you.

There are also ghosts here, even though I do not believe in ghosts.

You should come here and drink alcohol for free before going to your expensive parties.

• When: Monday, December 31 2007 - Tuesday, January 1 2008
• Where: 2306 Market Street, Apartment 302 in the Castro

  This is the old building at Market and 16th Street - the one with the scary, satanic-looking tower on front. At the gate, press 17 and we will buzz you in. Take the elevator up, or the stairs.

  Transit: take MUNI to Castro Station, and walk up Market about a block.

  Parking: will most likely be hard to come by, so take MUNI

• Why: Because it will be fun, and there will be free booze and interesting people
• What: to bring? Alcohols of any sort.
