In which we shake and bake

Or wake and quake, to be precise:

"It was all pretty minor," said U.S. Geological Survey spokeswoman Leslie Gordon. "It didn't interrupt donut production."
Gordon said the quake was centered about two miles northeast of downtown Oakland on the Hayward fault. The actual epicenter was in the Oakland Hills near Joaquin Miller Park and the Mormon Temple, according to an online topographic mapping service that works with the USGS.

Aram and I rode past the Mormon Temple plenty the first year that he lived in Oakland: he on the Batavus (!!) and me on either the Ciöcc or the Dutchess. Nice rolling paths along that area, and Joaquin Miller is an awesome little park for exploration on a mountain bike.

In which we work from home

Wired Magazine published an article about working from home as an independent web hax0r, and how the informal collective Jelly has got something going on.

I couldn't sit in a cramped room with people that I was not collaborating with, and I have enjoyed no success with my own get-rich-quick^Wweb2.0 ideas (the Get-Into-Heaven cards, notably).
