- @extraspecial Transit is a bit of a mess. Lines down a lot and busses are stuck in traffic. Plus: no elevators/escalators for strollers! #
- Getting a late start to our London day. I don’t need to work today or tomorrow, so it’s family vacation London style starting now. #
- Burrough Market was kick ass. The products were all basically the top end, the people were nice. Yuppie Heaven and not that expensive. #

- @fredwilson Welcome to London! We have yet to have a smooth public transport journey. However, the town is kick effin a! #
- Just ate more lunch than a reasonable human should. But the “mature” cheddar was so freaking good! #
- Work for the week is over. Time to party! #
- Maple: “I’m going to name my youngest daughter Patsy Cline and my oldest daughter Cline Patsy. Is that just the silliest thing ever?” #
- So far, if it were a contest, Vienna would be winning for transit and beer, but London would be crushing in almost everything else. #
- Also, in the contest of which city could bankrupt me quicker, London takes the game no contest. This town is expensive for real. #
- Just ate the best ice cream I’ve had since leaving Portland (with 1 exception in Venice). OMG! REAL pistacio ice cream. Watermelon 4 Mapes #

Serendipity
July 16th, 2008 ·
Just posting a weird coincidental occurance.
I was in Hyde Park with my family, when my wife mentioned that old game show “Child’s Play.” For those who don’t remember, the premise was that a child would describe something (on video), and the adults would try to guess and, by doing so successfully, somehow win the game.
There was this cute know-it-all type kid on the show named Sascha Segan. I was thinking about him and thought, “I should Google him when I get home.”
Of course I forgot. But I didn’t forget to read my daily Daring Fireball and, specifically, this article in which Gruber references an article by Sascha Segan who, it turns out, is the Sascha Segan I remembered.
Weird.

- Why is the Sonic Youth “Goo” T-shirt everywhere in London. Was it on TV or something? #
- @fredwilson Ha! Maybe I’ll bump into you—in London all week. BTW, would be curious what you think; feels like the capital of the world. #
- Maybe going to Doctor Johnson’s House at lunch. http://bit.ly/3KQzVV Dude was such a badass; he wrote the first English dictionary. #

- I’m up at it’s GMT! Oh, London, why must I work now and be away from you for 8 hours? #
- Huge London day yesterday in… Hackney. Also, Spitalfields, etc. What a cool area of town these days—20 years ago: much different! #
- Also: I’ve never seen more diversity in humanity than in the several blocks around Brick Lane in London on a Sunday. Fascinating. #
- Training on Threadneedle Street, City of London. #
- My family was treated to a roadside hershey squirt from a drunken man yesterday. Niiiiiice1. #
- @JohnKenn We did use Heathrow Express. Paddington was not being serviced by 2 lines, then alternate route line broke down. #
- I’ve had 4 shots of espresso so far today. That’s a single serving for @seanbonner, but it’s a lot for us mere mortals. #
- is London a fantasy park purely for the affluent? Shit is teuer. #

- So what is the deal with me.com and .mac? They’re both unavailable. Is this planned or did the migration fart? #

- Thank you Senator Clinton for having the ovum to vote against FISA! #
- Well, I can’t seem to get a single .mac or mobile me resource here in Austria. What Up? #
- How to get the app store even if you don’t have beta 2: find a web page link to an app in the store, then clicky clicky. #
- For example, i clicked on the link to ConnectedFlow’s exposure, and now I’m in app store. (Must have latest iTunes, too). #
- Pain: receiving and then paying a five figure monthly Amex bill. #
- So. What is this rumored me.com? Is Apple’s strategy to have .Mac down for 24 hours but never launch Mobile Me? #
- Maple, when we started playing “kitchen”: first we have to run the pipes and make the taps for our sink. #
- Wow. I’m certain that iCal is the worst interface I have ever encountered on a Mac. I mean, how the hell does one work this thing? #

Of course Obama voted for FISA. He needs big donors now that he’s done selling all you all “the dream” and getting your $50.00.

- Back to my Mac just worked? That is unpossible. #
- Still in need of London suggestions despite the fact that the itinerary is filling up. #
- How about that Obama, eh? He’s sucking up to the big boys now that he has all of you tech nerds’s $50.00. Oh, but you can still hope. #
- I should really be sleeping, but I can’t stop reading about places I won’t be able to go in London. #

“This is what dancers do”
July 8th, 2008 ·
Maple thinks this is what dancers do because every painting or photograph she sees of them in the antique shop windows features this pose.
