Moving to SF

Sometime within a month (not quite sure when yet), I’m moving 40 miles to San Francisco. I’ll be living with one roommate whom I met last week via craigslist and commuting to google via shuttle (about 3/4 mi away). The apartment is near here.

It’s not too far from Alamo Square, about which Wikipedia says:

The opening sequence of the American sitcom Full House (1987–1995) features a romp in Alamo Square Park with the famous row of Victorians in the background.

I can name at least a half dozen people I know who have moved or are moving around now. It would make sense if they were triggered by lease terms coinciding with the end of the school year, but for the most part, it seems just random.

I’m almost done catching up on life after my last trips.. this is going to make for another busy month.

Stabilized Video Collages on Flickr

It seems like there are a lot of interesting things to do with this sort of work. It’d be cool (though more challenging) if the videos moved around more. I think it’d be interesting to add some ambient noise to this, too.

A word I recently learned: tumescent

tumescent
adjective

  1. swelling
  2. exhibiting or affected with many ideas or emotions; teeming.
  3. pompous and pretentious, esp. in the use of language; bombastic.

(source)

The last definition is my favorite, and the most ironic. A bit like sesquipedalian.
