The Mind of Boz

I forgot to turn off the ringer on my landline yesterday, so I just got a call from the SD Union Tribune wanting me to subscribe. The call went something like this :

Dude: Blah blah blah Union Tribune. Blah blah blah subscribe?
Me: No thanks.
Dude: Why?
Me: Get my news online.
Dude: Aren't you interested in the TV listings and the grocery coupons?

Seriously, that's exactly how that went down. That answer was scripted! That's the best the newspapers can do to convince people in this century that they need their service?

A friend of a friend is a Copley, I should call her and tell her to get some new marketing people or something...

I've been subscribing to a lot of job postings lately. This is the coolest one ever. Seriously.

Office Jester

Dude, I need this. My plants are dying. It's not ok.

Botanicalls

Seriously though -- how hard would it be to put a water sensor on a local network and write some stuff to monitor it? Even do it wirelessly.... Your garden has a website! How cool would that be?

I gotta get a job.

Just when you thought the cafe posts were done. . . No!

Krakatoa
25th between B and C (Golden Hill)

Strong internet signal, 4 tables and a couch inside with 3 outlets. There are another 8 tables or so out on the patio, but there's no power there.

Linds and I took a nice little ride down here through Golden Hill and South Park (we basically took 30th from University to A St.). You could also take Florida St through the canyon, but there are more hills that way. Got here before 9am (so I might actually get something done today. . .) and now I'm avoiding looking for work. Bleh. But there's really nothing much else to say about this cafe. It's kinda small and red on the inside. We're sitting in the shadow of a giant sheet of copper hammered into the bust of an Easter Island statue. It's a little disconcerting. Having said that, I'm now noticing something of an Easter Island theme -- lots of island-y stuff. Which fits with the name Krakatoa, which is apparently a volcanic island in Indonesia. Ahh, the red walls are representative of lava. . . obviously more thought went into the decor than I initially noticed.

Ok, I'm gonna go find a job now. Wish me luck!

Go check this out. It's good. Rich is the man. All stuff you haven't heard in a long time; Annie Lennox, The Police... yeah I'm diggin it.

Oh, you need to ping him and get a password. Or bug me and I'll send you the mp3.
