Hi folks! Hope you like the new look, it’s been keeping me up late all week. I’m sure there are a number of bugs, and there are a bunch of ads missing, but it’s 4/20 weekend and I just want to make this thing live now! I know about some of the “Send to friend” […]
I will be tripping through the Bay Area on Saturday for the nearest thing our culture has to a true “high holiday”…4/20! At around noon, I’ll be at the psychedelic flea market being held at the Oakland Marriott Civic Center in downtown Oakland. It’s part of a serious but cool MAPS conference, and admission to the […]
…well, it was more of a screech. See, I have to renew my driver’s license, and I’ve been meaning to contact my local California DMV office for a week or two, but I kept forgetting during working hours, since I tend to start late in the day anyway. So I set an alarm on my […]
Felicity and I both had our turn in the barrel last weekend. For me, it was Friday night. I had a long week and a lot more running around and physical stuff to do than usual, so towards evening I had myself a bit more infused cookie than normal. Not too crazy, but a little […]
Yesterday, I lost one of my heroes. Alvin Lee was the dynamic personality fronting Ten Years After, one of the most underrated and forgotten bands of the Sixties. They started off as a blues/jazz fusion band (very similar to a joke in Spinal Tap) and then were pretty much 100% pure blues until 1969. That’s […]
I’ve written before about the benefits of microdosing: you’re less likely to have “overdoses” (getting too high to work, study, or even stand up), less likely to cause health problems or interactions with other medications, and less likely to get negative side effects from cannabis (anxiety/paranoia/panic, generally from getting too high too fast, especially with […]
Last week, Felicity and I visited SPARC in San Francisco, and one of the things we picked up there was a Kiva chocolate bar. I’ve gotten these in the past, and I really admire their quality and careful attention to detail and consistency. This time, I happened to notice a cardboard package insert with the […]
Ah, San Francisco! Origin of the 60s peace/love/acid/lids movement, and home to the most famous intersection of hippiedom, Haight-Ashbury. Felicity and I found ourselves there last week. We had gone to pick up some specialized tools for work I’m doing on our house, and meet a friend for lunch, and we thought we’d visit SPARC. […]
I just got this email from LinkedIn. Looks great, but I still haven’t figured out how their recommendation system works. Thanks to whoever voted for me…or however it works!
I don’t care what old J.R.R. said about pipe-weed…it’s definitely cannabis in the Peter Jackson movies! Why, when I saw this scene in the theater I almost dropped my vape! And Radagast is kind of a hippie St. Francis with his sled pulled by — what did he say…Rastafarian rabbits? Even Saruman thought he’d been […]
