Awesome.

Inserting extra quotes like that is a practice I’ve never understood. Why do so many people do this?

A while ago, I mentioned that I was moving to San Francisco at some point. Well, that point was last Sunday. Girts, John and Chris helped with the move, which made it relatively easy. As with just about anyone who moves, I found that I owned more things than I realized. I need to control that a bit better.

Anyway, things have been pretty good so far. It’s rather cold out, especially since I’m not here during the day. I was in a jacket and jeans and shivering on my way home tonight (partly because of wind). The commute isn’t difficult, but it’s time-consuming. Lately I’ve been leaving the apartment at 7:30 (AM!) and getting to work a little after 9. I’ve been getting home after 9pm, which has made for some rather long days. I’ll probably change this up sometime, but I haven’t quite decided which way.

The shuttle is a pretty good deal, though. I do a lot of my feed reading, emailing, video watching, etc on there. These are things I used to do at home in the morning and evening, so in reality this schedule isn’t all that different.

I’ll hope to explore the area a bit more this weekend and maybe do some photo walking and/or urban hiking, so I’ll post an update then.

… but I have fixed grammar in several signs at work.
