stop bush

the gas crisis lingers... Ok i know the brits say we shouldnt complain, being that in the UK gas is equivalent to $6.00 per gallon. the big difference is that the average californian has more area to cover per commute. that is why the pump hurts so bad!

tech graveyard

My very first cell phone was a motorola flip phone in 1995 ( I was in college and held a job to pay for it). This was a marvel of achievemnet from the miami vice days of the brick handheld cellular, or even the retro styled "ma-bell" handpiece with matching over the shoulder suitcase module. technology is really moving at lightspeed pace now. Kids these days sport cellphones, ipods, laptops etc. It's amazing my 8 yearold niece has all of these, and i couldnt acquire most of these until well into adulthood. Although i dont have the most advanced cellphone in the Motorola RZR, here in the USA (Asia and Europe blow american cell technology out of the water), but my very capable cellphone can do so many functions; more than i'll actually ever need. in the last 5 years i've picked up more cell phones, all of which eventually end up in my cell phone graveyard of a desk drawer. the best have always been Nokia. It's inevitable they will all succumb to a premature burial as soon as the next latest and greatest arrives on the scene.

the surf is still firing...

I had some friends and family visiting HB this past weekend from the philippines, london, and singapore. It was great seeing you all. as luck would have it, the southern hemi swells are still pumping and we may get waves all week. here is a photo from this morning along with the photos of friends and family...

i've been all over the world, and have seen some of the most beautiful places. somehow, i always find myself back home.

april 21 and the beginning...

I never imagined i would start bloggin. The reality of this large world is that its actually made smaller each day with the internet. I've got friends all over the world and this is the best way that they can drop in and see what's the latest in the follies of doc dimo.
