First #AYCJ Encounter and Binary!

09.13.2009 · Posted in 101 in 1001, All-You-Can-Jet-2009, Photos

As many are aware, I’ve had to cancel quite a few of the trips I’d planned due to unforeseen circumstances! I haven’t had time to talk about those circumstances on the blog, so here goes: I may start working again, which would cancel my weekday travel, and I have a surgery and post-op date, which happen to fall around the time of travel also. Fantastic, right? Luckily, when you book tickets at the last minute, they’re extra expensive, so I will get my money’s worth from the one trip I’m taking this coming week to Washington D.C. I just have to make sure I cancel/reserve according to the 3-day policy, and I’m set.

Today was my first #AYCJ encounter! I didn’t even have to leave my own city.

RV and I caught up with @redelvis, @sawyouonjetblue, and @Michele_Pacheco to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. We ended up thirty minutes late since brunch ran a little overtime! We caught up around the end of the second half of the bridge. After taking some quick photos, @redelvis stuck behind with us and spent the remainder of the stroll across the bridge teaching me binary!

Yep, another one off the list:
050 – Learn the basics of binary.

While it would probably have been easier to grasp if we actually wrote numbers down, he did a great job of explaining. I learned not only to count, but also to convert decimals to octal and then to binary. So I think I’ve got the basics!

Baker Beach

07.22.2007 · Posted in Photos

I have lived in San Francisco most of my life, and I’ve only been to Baker Beach once. I’ve passed by it just a couple of times, but yesterday was the only time I’ve stepped foot onto the beach. We were very lucky because it was such a gorgeous day out. It was a relaxing afternoon, hanging out with a large group of random people, and bonding over the booze and the burying of each other in the sand.

It has the reputation of being a clothing-optional environment. Did I see any boobies or wieners? No. They tend to stick to the northern end of the beach, and I didn’t move very far in either direction. Just enjoyed the spectacular views of the Golden Gate and Pacific Ocean. It’s easy to tell yourself not to wear sunscreen when the sun doesn’t seem to be beating down… I have the sunglass tan to prove it too!
