Fortune favors the Bold.

Arrived in San Francisco

Brendan McKenna at SFO Baggage claimWith two mini-me dogs the size of wienerschnitzels barking at each other beside me, I write this post;

I had a really pleasant flight up from LA and it took such a short time! The sun was setting and there was a really gorgeous rainbow of colors in the sky, the airline I used is called frontier and is really good, they serve nice drinks, use small planes (22 rows) and have live satellite tv (directv) for each seat. I was halfway through an nbc show that I’d begun before take off when the pilot said we’re 30 minutes outside SF and beginning our descent. I was shocked and delighted, getting between SF and LA is so easy by plane and just makes me happier that I’ve postponed my flight to Dublin. I called Rye and Ewan at the hostel and let them know I’ll be in tonight and they were surprised and happy.

You give to me just what I seek.

Darling,

Continuing a tradition on this blog of fromagerie, I’ve picked out this great live version of ‘Two Step’ for todays soundtrack :)

Bonus Time.

I’ve been considering staying a little longer in San Francisco ever since I stayed in the Mission district on my first night there with William, its a really nice area with Valencia street full of laid back coffee shops, boutique stores and used book stores. I got to stay there again after hospital when a friend let us use his place for a week, Its freakin fun down there and I guess I have toyed with the idea of putting off my flight till some time in March since Aer Lingus sent me my itinerary for Dublin.And thats why I didn’t pay attention to that Itinerary! As a result, I’ve discovered while sitting here in LAX at 9am that my flight out of LA isn’t till 5pm! Giving me time to write this post and consider my options.

Emotional

Packing up for the drive to LA, its an emotional time. Gonna miss you.

Jyte.com

Jyte.com is a social website for making ‘Claims’, I discovered it through myopenid and though confused and scared went ahead and tried it out. I like it and recommend yall give it a try. Make a claim, claim that Arctic Monkeys are awesomer than Clap your Hands say yeah, or claim that the moon landings are fake, once you claim it, its your claim forever and people will vote on it forever. Kinda Neat.
Update: Jyte is an acronym for “Just You Tell ‘Em” and is a creation of JanRain, a software company located in Portland, Oregon. All my favorite things these days are from Portland. Hmmm.

Great American Things. A List.

Amazing National Parks.

Was the theft of Munch’s ‘The Scream’ really about art?

The Guardian has a great article here that gives the background to Munch’s ‘The Scream’ and the robbery in 2004, it also discusses a theory about whether the robbery was an attempt to distracy the police from a serious robbery and murder case that they were working on nearby.

iPhone to run $300-400 after contract?

Leaks from Cingular indicate the iPhone might start at $299. Wow, they’ll sell like hot cakes at that price.

Love to see technology used for good.

PARIS–Journalists writing about Zimbabwe’s repressive government have found a new way to circumvent their censors: sending text messages via cell phone. 

I love technology for all the enhancements it provides to quality of life, when its used by these exiled journalists to spread news about about the sad state of things in Zimbabwe it’s completely awesome. The two greatest things techology can be used for are eduacation and communication.
