Treasure Island

Killing some time over the weekend in San Francisco I drove out to Treasure Island, which is this old Naval base on a landfill island in the middle of the bay. It's due to be majorly developed but for now retains the shabby, vaguely socialistic feel of US Military housing. The top shot is over the Bay Bridge from Yerba Buena Island. A much better version of this postcard-y shot can be found here.

Having grown up in the Bay Area there aren't many places I haven't hiked but El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve was one of them. The area was heavily logged until recently and massive stumps of old growth redwoods litter the place. It's got a very dense trail network left over, I think, from its logging days which makes the place very popular with mountain bikers. I was lapped several times by different groups on bikes.

Amman, Jordan My mom's the one who's been doing all the interesting traveling lately. She recently got back from a two week trip to Jordan to see Petra. I got her to upload a set of her Jordan photos on Flickr.

Popsicle in Dolores Park I have to credit my friend Courtney with this photo. Sometimes the best photos come from passing my camera around and just telling my friends to go wild.

Calendario Escolar de Instruccion de Todo el Año 2006-2007 del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Los Angeles This sheet shows the rather complex multi-tracked schedules of the LAUSD, designed to maximized limited classroom space. The ALL CAPS BOLD UNDERLINE makes this sheet a bit of a mess despite the ambitious attempt to represent complex scheduling information graphically. The equal font size for Spanish is quite a statement. I hope Lou Dobbs doesn't read my blog.
