I had a good enough trip down to San Diego last weekend for One Love, One Beach, but in retrospect, I could’ve used a weekend at home. When I bought tickets, I had no idea when I’d be in China, and having only a week in Seattle before leaving again might not have been the best plan. And the tournament was alright, but it could have been better. I much prefer 5-on-5 beach ultimate to the 4-on-4. And the seeding for OLOB wasn’t done particularly well, so we had a ton of tough games Saturday, then rolled through the C-pool on Sunday. Although I did get some tasty fish tacos and a brief visit to the Salk Institute, I enjoyed my LeiOut experience a lot more, and will probably skip San Diego next year.

I can’t remember which blog I saw this on (Make: Blog? Core77?), but there’s a great (if short) video of a few Arthur Ganson sculptures up at the Nova site – check it out here. Always happy to see more of those amazing machines!

I’ve been postponing putting up photos from China ’til I can address my website image gallery issues (as previously discussed here). I’m getting close to writing my own lightweight PHP image gallery manager, putting up some awesome old “under construction” animated GIF up and revamping things. Keep an eye out.
