After Bay to Breakers Today

After Bay to Breakers got boring for me around 1:30pm, I separated from the main group and ran three miles to Planet Granite so I could do some rock climbing. After arriving I climbed for three and a half hours and met a lot of interesting people; two partners who founded a ycombinator startup together, a german couple new to the area and a weird bald guy. The rock climbing at Planet Granite was epic – best gym I have yet visited.

After rock climbing I ran 6 miles home stopping along the way for a delicious sushi dinner at Okoze Sushi.

I also made the mistake of walking home through a very dangerous district called the tenderloin. I had a strung out black guy with friends around try to start a fight with me but I moved quickly past. A block later a druggie chick tried to sell me her dog for $40. Thanks Google Maps!!!

Bay to Breakers

I attended the Bay to Breakers event today in San Francisco with my group of friends. We went as the Street Fighter video game from the 90s and I was Sagat. Pretty fun event with great weather.

Monster

Our dog monster is sick because she ate chocolate and that can cause kidney failure in dogs. Frida is in the hospital now. She should be okay because we pumped her stomach within an hour but she still has elevated levels of bad stiff in her blood. She is in the hospital for three days to try to clean out her kidneys. Hoping she will be okay.

Epic San Francisco Bike Ride

I went on a really fun bike ride today with my friends Kenny, Brian, Nick and their friends. We started in downtown, went to the beach then made our way across the Golden Gate Bridge. The ride took almost six hours but was a great time. We had perfect clear sunny weather and enjoyed ourselves.

Udacity Offers MS in Computer Science

I think this is awesome. The world is going to continue to become a vastly better place very rapidly as more people have access to to open online courses!

Hang Gliding at Sylmar

I went hang gliding yesterday and enjoyed it. My flight instructor was a nice older gentleman named Fred. He was a contractor of WindSports. I thought he did a great job of taking me up for a beginner tandem flight. I got a bit of motion sickness but our flight was only around 15 minutes so it wasn’t bad. I will post the video soon!

Happy Birthday Michael McVerry!
