Nick D and the gang have launched two new Gawker titles, Lifehacker - a techy software and hacker review, and Gridskipper - an ubercool urban travel guide. Excellent stuff as always.

I've gotten quite used to the sound of traffic outside my window, but today a guy was trying to pull out of a parking place and his horn got stuck on. It just blared and blared for almost 10 minutes, which starts to make your neurons tremble after a while. The guy put his hood up and started tinkering around with things, clearly baffled. A guy pulled over and got out shouting "just hit it man!". So he hopped back into the car and started smacking the steering wheel which only caused a bit of staccato. By then, someone was waiting for him to pull out so as to take the parking space. He too hopped out of his car and started tinkering around. Traffic started to back up, and irritible drivers started honking their horns too. The caucauphany was mind-numbing. Then somehow, it stopped.

Naturally I googled some advice during this escapade. Here it is - memorize it in case this ever happens to you.

There is free WiFI at the SF public library as well as ample workstation space to get things donw, I could make this a habit. Changing work environments from time to time is a catalyst for productivity. However, this being SF, there is a very high weirdo to normalcy ratio in here, people wandering around muttering to themselves and such.

Anyway, it's Bloggie time! Be sure to vote for the Gawker titles: Wonkette, Gawker, Defamer & Gizmodo. Yes, it's another obscure awards event, but there are some intersting titles in there. [vote]

Just got back froun Sayulita, a small surfing town about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, hence the lact of posting. If you like small Mexican towns where there is nothing to do but laze around and jump in the ocean when the momment strikes you, you cannot do better than Sayulita, but, that said, it's quickly getting overrun by tourists and real estate buyers, which I suppose is both good and bad. But for now it remains a groovy little town with uncompromised hospitality, cheap places to stay, great food, great surfing for all levels, and great swimming.

I'll post a few more photos later.

Additionally, I'm pleased to see that Buck Smith has joined the blogosphere.
