I’ve always wanted to participate in a project like this, because I’ve found some similar projects to be really interesting and fun!

the may day project is about collecting glimpses into people’s lives through photographs. whether they be self portraits, landscapes or macros, candid or posed, snapshots or something more creative – we want to see what your day was like saturday may 10th 2003.

Mark your calendars and charge those digital cameras (and/or buy some film)!

Woo! local news on the Warchalking site: Borrowing Bandwidth in San Jose, CA.

…suddenly I was surfing at blazing speeds (~2200kbps according to http://webservices.cnet.com/Bandwidth/)…

Just in case anyone is interested in their locations, the first one was the Olive West Apartments in Sunnyvale and the other is CountryBrook off of North Capitol Avenue. Happy surfing!!!

I was anxious to find some local access points. Wooo! Maybe I’ve just been too lazy to try and warwalk this area. I think it’s more wardriving ’round these parts anyway. I prefer to walk. SF was a much better place to do it.

G hosted a wonderful cheese and wine shindig last night. Or as we also like to call it, “come over to my house and help empty my liquor cabinet” night. Stinky cheese and dizzying wines were consumed in mass quantities. I’m a sucker for food and wine parties. Oh, not to mention the indulgent yummy chocolate cheesecake homemade by G (no, no pie this time!).

We brought the Wenselydale.

pictures to follow for your bandwidth consumption.

argh, I lost my post. I will recap as much as I can now…

This morning, I looked out our backyard door to see if the sun was out and shining. Reason being, I need to shoot a standard negative for my color photography class.

To my delight, the sun was shining, the skies were clear, and it looked quite promising. Double bonus, I discovered that the wildflowers that I had scattered seed for last summer had grown beautifully and were blossoming quite well! This put me in a pretty good mood. I called Kevin over to admire the flowers, when we noticed that there was a baby squirrel right in front of us.

There has been quite the explosion of baby animals roaming our yards and parks… definitely a sign that spring is here.

But unfortunately, this baby squirrel was injured. Badly. We suspect that the cat had attacked it and left it lying there once it was no longer “fun” for her to play with. *sigh* Cats will be cats.

We gently placed Squirrel in a box and I immediately drove it over to the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley (which is about twenty minutes away) for urgent care. What a wonderful facility! I am glad that such a place exists around here. I donated to their cause, as well as expressed interest in volunteering.

I hope that Squirrel will be alright, and I will be checking with the center in a few days. I am prepared to learn if he/she does not make it, but at least I know that it will be less painful than being left in the backyard. I left the center, knowing that I had accomplished my good turn for the day.

Apologies for the lack of posts these past couple of days. The least I could do is provide you with some places to go. Here are my freshest Friday Finds:

1. Inefficiency.org: humor, wit and Super Battles

2. All of the Good Names Were Taken: insert witty description here
3. The Colonel Sanders Conspiracy: he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly
4. Comedic Cadavers: delightful randomness

Please share some of your Friday Finds in the comments as well! Enjoy your weekends!
