"Tall" Building
31/05/06
Its been a month or so since I got back from New York. The most stunning difference between New York and San Francisco are the buildings. New York's buildings are much much taller. However, I have been forced to work at the Embarcadero Sunglass Hut which sucks. However, the Embarcadero center (which is mostly a business center) is really cool. It has probably the tallest buildings in the city and its relatively modern. Here is the tallest building I could fine. Enjoy

In Rememberance of Dan
01/05/06
I saw this Mercedes parked at the Marina one day when I was just ambling around and it reminded me of one of my good friends from home. Don't worry, he isn't dead or anything like that. Its just that Dan has a Mercedes Benz 300 SE from the early 90s. I thought this was funny because here is a Mercedes from the same era and the owner has made a small mod. Normally on a Benz like this there is a small plastic tab that pops out from the grill when you pop the hood from the inside. However this guys has broken off and so he has replaced it with a piece of a coathangar. This reminds me of Dan because his fell off and it took us a while to finally get the hood open. It was always so fun working on that car. Everything is so daft, yet it all makes perfect sense in a weird german overengineered sort of way. It's like when you take it all apart it all makes sense and everything has a purpose, but in real life half of the things they do are not required. However, it is all this that makes those old Benz's run forever. Something that can't be said for modern German cars.
