As part of the kick-off festivities for this new blog, I need to give some props to my last blog, Webbing Out Loud. It was a great idealistic experiment that faded away just as brilliantly as it entered onto the scene. Determined to display the most useful and interesting sites on the web, this site not only lacked a consistent audience, it lacked a realistic scope.Nevertheless, I urge you to take a look at it. Webbing showcases my favorite sites, from the tranquil games of Orisinal to the font-your-own-handwriting services (and free stuff) at the Font Garden. Enjoy! Oh, and if you’d like to take over Webbing Out Loud with your own mad phat research and writing skills, talk to me. I hate watching a good thing die…

I just volunteered with One Brick at the San Francisco Food Bank. It was the most fun I’ve ever had in a cold warehouse. Twenty-eight volunteers were there, all throwing aside their separate backgrounds to don hairnets and measure deli meat. Big chunks of peppered salami and olive loaf spread across saran-wrapped tables, and we scooped the meat in unison. When it came time to sort nectarines and pears, we were a single human machine, powered by our common goal of emptying the bins. Filling boxes turned into a race. Dodging the rotten fruit that whizzed toward the dumpster turned into a game. I turned into a quality control expert. All in two and a half hours. We sorted and packed over 15,000 lbs of food in that time. How’s that for teamwork?
