But it usually makes for a good story.Last week, some of Dude's friends gathered in San Francisco for Passover. It was decided to all stay at the same hotel for convenience of shuttling people around and due to proximity to others it was further decided to stay at Beck's Motor Lodge on Market near Castro.Beck's has decent, clean rooms. A bit small,Dudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550978646015324238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645274.post-1113401184227385402005-04-13T09:16:00.000-04:002005-04-13T10:30:28.546-04:00Dude was in San Francisco for work last week at Company B. On Friday, Dude hooked up with some friends from his previous employer, Company A and went to a local watering hole until the place closed. Dude's flight back home was on Saturday and decided to head back to the hotel around 3:30 AM.Upon walking in to the hotel, Dude told the front desk clerk to make sure there was a wake-up call in an Dudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550978646015324238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645274.post-1108740540596226152005-02-18T10:28:00.000-05:002005-02-18T10:29:00.596-05:00Birthday party coming up.

The big news is that Dude quit his job at Company A, a large software company in California. He had a good run there, eight years, but needed a change.
The better news is that Dude has landed a position at Company B, a small software company in California that does a lot of digital image processing.

A bizarre film that was enjoyable in parts. Besides the amazing use of perspective and 3D animation, the thing that caught Dude's eye was the filmmaker's observation of Americans as grossly obese. Now what does this have to do with Dude's trip toDudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550978646015324238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645274.post-1084545967322571182004-05-14T10:32:00.000-04:002004-05-14T10:46:07.323-04:00Dude hangs his head in shame.
We lost last night's softball game 16 to 8. Not a good night for Dude. Besides going 0 for 2 at the plate, Dude walked 5 people (at least). Just couldn't find the plate. But after the game, the team came back to Dude's house and had baked ziti and beers courtesy of 50-cent. A good time was had by all hanging out on the deck until about midnight when Dude told Dudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550978646015324238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645274.post-1084405894582670472004-05-12T19:46:00.000-04:002004-05-12T20:06:59.680-04:00Dude sold the Protege5 today. It was only a year old but it wasn't very sporty and too small for Dude and his family. This will help pay for the RX-8. The RX-8 is an awesome car. Dude loves that car.
Checked out a new dish at the Chinese restaurant today. Dude ordered twice sauteed pork thinking it was the same as twice cooked pork. It was not. Dude will regret that meal... twice.Dudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550978646015324238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645274.post-1084366745955257792004-05-12T08:48:00.001-04:002004-05-12T10:48:54.053-04:00Yesterday was pretty good. A typical long day working for Company A. Dude made sure his feature was working properly. Had a meeting with another group who do testing and are going on the road to get feedback. A few loose ends to tie up but all looks good.
Went to softball after work. Dude pitched a 7 - 0 shutout. Sounds impressive, but it is slow-pitch softball. Still, holding a team to Dudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16550978646015324238noreply@blogger.com
