I went to the outdoor festivities of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence yesterday in Dolores Park. Amazing creativity in the costumes, lots of photos on Flickr (and I posted to FB too.) Enjoy!

Good summary/plug for a friend

My old school friend Paul Fletcher, now a telecommunications consultant, was recently interviewed on ABC radio in Australia and sums up the whole story well.

You can download here and there's a recent editorial he wrote in the SMH here. Oh, and if that's not quite enough of a deep dive: read his book.
