Until I install a plugin that automatically does this, I suppose I have to manually write these “Hey look, new pictures!” posts. The events are in question are few snapshots of the Rock Band party we threw two weeks ago – partially in celebration of Jeff’s Taiwanese vacation and Pan-chan’s departure – and candids of her (the TV, not Jeff) replacement, the slim but sharp Sam-san.

I came across this pretty cool site today: kwout is an utility for bloggers and web developers to quickly create good-looking screen captures off of URL’s. It’s not anything a screen capture, Photoshop, and some careful image map placement can’t do (it maps all the links on the page into actual clickable links!), but obviously it saves a lot of time and effort.

The abundance of carny games and people at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk was slightly disappointing, so our entourage headed along scenic Highway I, meandering our way along the Californian coast, enjoying great views of the ocean and for for those of us sensitive to winding roads, motion sickness.
Following a coworker’s recommendation, we stopped at an unmarked area off the highway, where a slanting trail lead downwards to a cozy patch of sand and rocks isolated from the rest of the world. Panther Beach, as it is known, was a picturesque location; rocky cliffs shelter its beauty from tourist eyes, lapping waves erase yesterday’s footprints, and September winds add an encouraging chill:
Ah, always a sucker for figurines, I am…
Doesn’t help when Square Enix opens up a merchandise store, it seems, specifically to cater to people like me who don’t mind overpaying for a chance to reminiscence. So despite only launching for a few hours and having to pay for $18 UPS Ground shipping from Illinois, I got my hands on some goodies.

My office is fun!
