I’m going to cab to San Francisco & then we can hang out & take bart. Then will do bart to calender trans station for Palo Alto trek to … #
In cab to lax I see that signal varies. Can text without interruption but Edge & email comes in & out. #
My can of Atkins shake I never drank & forgot about in my man purse didn’t make it through security at LAX! La dieta puede esperar. #
Airline just offered a free round trip ticket to anyone who would be bumped from the 7 to the 10pm flight. I would but… Can’t! #
Just spoke to the airline guy. Checked flights to other San Francisco airports. I offered to swap for an SFO flight. #
No free tickets! On same flight. #
Have a row to myself. Which is one seatfor the whole row. Very small! Might never fly to San Jose again. Squish! #
Landed in Palo Alto. Will drop off bags at hotel & head to San Francisco for a Twitter meeting! Meeting a Twitter friend, that is. #
Taking no jacket, not even the sports jackets I favor in February to my Palo Alto / San Francisco journey today seems a little silly. #
But in all honesty, reading Google weather numbers doesn’t trigger my "Yikes! It’s freezing!!" Reaction. I think, I’ll be working & in cabs! #
Do you know the way from San Jose? In cab to Palo Alto. Google Maps on BlackBerry still can’t find me. And I’m in Google’s back yard! #
Gosh are I hungry! Hoping that something’s open in San Francisco that has yummy vittles & strong drink. #
Billlboard: Citrix application delivery. It’s everywhere. Guess I am in Silicon Valley! But Citrix isn’t working on my Mac right now. #
Somehow I’m the only one feeling nerdy at the 4 seasons lounge. Pile of work & a glass of sangiovese while waiting for grub. #
Lunching in Palo Alto at Hunan Garden. Looks like the restaurant where I had my first job. Not in appearance. In feel. Mom & Pop shop. #
Front page of the New York Times today: Obama, but under the fold. I feel as if they’re putting him down, visually. They didn’t endorse … #
@acomputerpro Maybe they need to reboot? Or reinstall? Or, better yet, upgrade to OS X? #

See Resume, See Door, See Applicant Run

Is putting “See resumé” on forms for a recruiter a big No No? Or a Yes Yes? Thoughts on unreasonable expectations from recruiters.

New Lawsuits, New Couples

Something that came to my attention in reading the initial three petitions was that there are new couples’ names listed on the petition from the ACLU and Lambda Legal.
Today, with the updated front page of the California Supreme Court, I couldn’t help but notice new documents have been filed.
The one that I don’t think I’ll [...]

Battlestar Galactica — the last season? Or The Last Supper?

What the frak?!? Coasting down Melrose Avenue this morning, I looked up and saw this image. Does it look familiar to you?

How Criminals & Lawyers Use Monster.com & Other Job Sites to Invade Your Privacy (and How to Stop Them)

You’re out of work. You want a job. Or you have a job, but you want a better one. You submit your resumé online. But did you know that makes you a target for criminals and lawyers to use your information?

MySpace — A Place for Dead People

I see dead people. On MySpace. The first was a profile a friend of mine had in his Friends list. It was his teenage brother, who died a few years ago in a sad turn of events. The profile exists as a tribute & a marker, a gravestone in cyberspace. But I didn’t seek out [...]

About Gib

I'm a writer and composer. On this blog I focus on cultural topics. I'm sort of fascinated by billboards and advertising and cool television shows and speculative fiction. Sometimes I blog about politics and civil rights cases.
