The Top 100 Undiscovered Web Sites

Each year PC Magazine releases a list of the top 100 undiscovered web sites and each year I spend a few days messing around with them.  Click here for full list.

My Android Love Affair

Was it fear, regret or total confusion starting back at me. Her eyes, a deep black not unlike those found on a doll were one of her best and regrettably worst features. One minute they could be filled with life and in a blink go cold. On occasion those lifeless eyes would peer at me over dinner, while having sex or during an argument and all I could do was wonder, is she real?

I sat listening to her tell me why we wouldn’t work as a couple when, out of nowhere, her hand shot up and caught me on the right side of the face. My body went limp as my brain tried to process what had just happened.  Then snap!  Anger surged through me as my body tensed.  All the non-verbal cues commonly associated with an apology washed over her face but it was those dead eyes that sealed her fate.

Good Bye San Francisco

I felt a tinge of saddness at the airport when I hugged Mihoko goodbye. I had a great time and half way throught the flight I already began to miss her company.

San Francisco - Day 5

I was hoping to get a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge before leaving but the San Francisco weather / cloud cover made that impossible.  I was a bit bummed till Mihoko drove me across the bridge to Sausalito, it was beautiful.

San Francisco - Day 4

Mihoko had dance class in the afternoon so I decided to go and explore downtown and the financial district.

Around six I stopped by the studio and got the chance to see them rehearse. It was really amazing to watch thirty plus people moving as one. The best part was being the stranger from NYC, watching from the shadows. I suspect they could only see my silhouette and whites shades. Now that is cool.

San Francisco - Day 3

Pab mentioned having the best mac & cheese at this spot called Ella’s when he visited San Francisco last year. Being the foodie that I am I jumped at the opportunity to go and try it. Sadly mac and cheese was not on the brunch menu. Regardless the food was great.

A long walk around the Presidio and Castro Street wiped me out so we decided to catch Pineapple Express.

Pineapple Express
I laughed out loud about ten times which is pretty good considering the current state of comedy movies.  Bonus: James Franco was actually good.

Afterward we had dinner and went home to watch Californicarion. This show is amazing and deserves it’s own post.

San Francisco - Day 2

I made a common San Francisco tourist mistake by not booking tickets to Alcatraz in advance. So my plan of reenacting scenes from “Escape from Alcatraz” and ” The Rock” were dashed.

Instead of getting upset I concentrated on the days other attractions which included Fisherman’s Wharf, seal/sea lion watching, a trolley ride and a tour of Chinatown.

In the evening Mihoko took me to this sick nightspot called Bubble Lounge.

San Francisco - Day 1

Virgin America is the best airline.  The entertainment system is sick.

Pack It Up
