Rocky Arroyo just sent me this photo. At first glance I just saw cables and orange which means GG Bridge to me. Then I wondered where the deco detail was, and why the cables where at that angle.
'Orange light tends to travel in the "Golden Hours" which is early in the morning and later in the afternoon' Rocky explains.
William Burroughs was a great observer of our American Life. He has a droll and disinterested delivery. Listen to him read "Dr Benway Operates" from "Spare Ass Annie and Other Tales".
Now imagine him reading "Thanksgiving Prayer": 
Thanks boingboing and Realitystudio.
Josh has two displays connected to his PC, and they behave like one very large wide screen. When you mouse off the side of one monitor you reappear on the other monitor. This is so cool! I'd much rather add a second monitor for $$ than blow $$$$ to have one very large screen.

A debt of gratitude to Amy and Josh Tretakoff for hosting a perfect Thanksgiving dinner! And thank you Pauline for carving the turkey.
I had such a good time. You could tell, because I couldn't stop flapping my lips!

Our neighbors have left for Thanksgiving, and I'm looking after their car as I usually do when they're gone. They just bought a Corolla to replace their Saturn. The Saturn was ok, but the Corolla is so much more refined to drive. So, it's no surprise to me that GM is closing factories, while Toyota expands production.
BTW I'm a UAW autoworker, and I encourage you to buy whatever car you want! If you "Buy American" that only means the profit goes to an American company. I don't get all patriotic when I see that Ford made a profit, do you? You can buy a Toyota made in Canada, a Honda made in Ohio, or a VW made in Mexico. You'll get a great car. And instead of feeling good that you bought American, feel good that an autoworker has a job. Hey, Canadians and Mexicans need jobs too.
I enjoy reading Dwell magazine because I'm looking for clever design ideas I can use one day in my own home.
But why do so many architects believe in curtain glass walls and no drapes? When these happy home owners turn on the lights, the neighbors get a widescreen living movie. Could they possibly have nothing to hide? Never leave a mess in the kitchen?
SF doesn't get the prototypes or new car unveilings like LA, NY or Detroit, but you will be able to sit in almost any car you'd like to.
This year all the exotic and race cars have been herded into one area upstairs above Moscone South.
This was my favorite car, the Lotus Elise. It was hard to get into, but once seated there's enough room for my 6' frame and there's more foot space around the pedals than I'd been told.
On the other side of the hall was this lineup of old Loti:
That's a Lotus Cortina (British Ford) behind a lotus 23.
A Lotus 7.
And a Lotus Elan with a Lotus Europa behind it.
Click on the image for a QuickTime movie of the Lotus lineup.
A Citroen DS21. One of my favorites and the only French car in the show.
Joe Huffaker's SCCA GT4 class winning (rwd!) Mini.
In the South Hall was this beautiful Ford GT. I think the original GT40 in Gulf colours is the best looking car ever.
The new Jaguar XK looks good
Of the more practical cars I liked the Audi A3. The Volvos and Saabs were very nice, and the BMW 3 series has a good quality interior, but the A3 is smaller and wagon-like. I know hatchbacks don't sell, but I love a fun,fast,practical car!
You send me a Bag of Crap, and you see fit to give Treough Blog a plug here.
I'm giddy!
