The deranged professor and librarian at my company's holiday party:



I just received prints of these pics yesterday. I think it's weird that my company has prom-style photos at their parties... but we try to have fun with it.

So It's seemingly true that the SF contingent of Killoggs doesn't seem to be reading/posting here too much as of late. Perhaps it's the three earthquakes we had in one week. Perhaps it's because we have a forecast of possibly snow this week. Perhaps it's San Francisco values.

Things have been kinda boring around here save what I've just mentioned. Then again, I haven't really been paying much attention as of late. I haven't been doing much oot and aboot because it's been cold outside, which makes me want to wrap myself in a cocoon and watch Six Feet Under all evening. My thin CA blood thinks that it's been cold here this winter, although "cold" is often in the range of 40-50 degrees out.

We're in the middle of Macworld week, and the town's pretty abuzz with that. Every bus shelter and newspaper kiosk downtown is one big Apple ad. The iPhone has inspired many a lusting technogeek (myself included). I'm a bit saddened that Macworld has pretty much turned into iPodworld... there isn't as much computer-related stuff as there used to be. And definitely not as much good stuff for print designers such as myself. I spent an afternoon wandering the expo and came home with a new bus-powered external hard drive and a ton of promotional literature. Cheap Trick played the opening night party. I didn't go.

Just wanted to post an update from this side of the country. Where *are* the rest of you West Coasters, anyhoo?
