Roo update..
No problems, she's been on plenty of long walks in the area parks and can now claim to have visited Rockridge, Sibley Park, Jack London Square, Sausalito and parts of Berkeley.
People still keep asking what her mix is...
Hope everything is going well in Texas and we'll see you sometime friday morning..

Round Top Sunset..
Caught this reflection in the water tank while walking the dogs in the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve. (http://www.ebparks.org/parks/sibley)
Round Top, one of the area's highest peaks, is made up of lava and volcanic debris left over from a 10-million-year-old volcano. During the past 10 million years, massive tectonic forces on the Hayward and Moraga earthquake faults uplifted the Berkeley hills, folding bedrock formations and tilting the Round Top volcano complex on its side.

Gift of the magi.com?
Did everyone else get a nice letter from Karthik about hi5 shares? I suppose I should resign myself that my few thousand shares of hi5 are not going to be worth the hassle.
The odd thing is magi.com is registered to some place in Canada:
Registrant:

Both Amazon and iTunes are failing Dr Who fans. Neither of them has posted the Christmas episode. Normally they have these the following day. To make matters worse Amazon screwed up and made the 2 minute prequel a paid download which resulted in everyone who had a season pass getting charged.
After seeing a few episodes on BBC America I know that I can never go back to watching these episodes with commercial interruptions. It's just too jarring to switch from Cybermen to M&M ads.

Roses blooming in the Oakland Hills.
Here's a photo uploaded directly via Eye-Fi. I'm still working out the best way to use this with G+, but so far I'm pretty impressed. The geotagging was pretty accurate and I'm always happy with the quality of the photos from the Lumix.
Currently I've just set this up to upload to the machine at home with iPhoto and also upload to Picasa. I've yet to experiment with the Android app and Wifi-Direct, but that seems a bit complicated -- I might just turn on wifi tethering when taking photos instead.
Anyone else using a setup like this? Any hints?
