The reason for the "surfing" theme is that tonight, I am going to see Dick Dale, King of the Surf Guitar. He used the first-ever 100-watt guitar amplifier.

His signature song is "Misirlou". You may have heard it before:


Other than that, a quiet weekend.

To continue the surfing theme, I'm going to see ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimbukuro this weekend. http://jakeshimabukuro.com/home/

Y'know, 'cause ukuleles are popular in Hawaii, and so is surfing.

[Todd Gross]

Dick Dale also plays the ukulele so I may be getting some of that sound tonight.

This weekend I will mostly be helping a friend on the 'SciFi London 48 Hour Film Challenge'.

All very last minute, so we'll see how it goes?

I was out last night so this morning is a slow start, but as I say, I'm just helping out. Waiting for the phone call to leap into action!!!

and surfing the net. might also listen to some Beach Boys, if that fits the theme.
this evening there is talk of celebratory drinks for a friend who will soon no longer be unemployed, after a relatively long time of job-hunting. he's a good friend, and i'm happy for him, but his good luck suggest he'll be moving away, and i will miss spending as much time with him as we currently do.
sunday i've very little plans, but a few things i would like to do, will see what i get around to.

[Tonycal]

Someone buy me a tropical vacation!

I'm glad it is the weekend! I will be doing random things the rest of today (Saturday) Tomorrow it is off to Philly for the day. I must have a cheese steak while I'm there...I MUST!

The Scifi 48 Hours Short Film Challenge is pretty good fun so far, but we are facing a problem transferring the footage around.

Pro formats tend to be very big, many many gigabytes of data and the support this project has got includes a cloud storage system that just isn't fast enough to handle films that big.

If anyone knows a fast, online data storage and/or transfer site, I's appreciate it if they passed on the name and URL?

Friday: tough day at work, out to dinner, and then a LONG night of rest.
Saturday: day-date with Anne walking around Crown Center, homemade pizza, and then watched Thor.
Sunday: Anne and my dad's birthday.

Sounds like my kind of Saturday!

I was at Coachella last weekend. It was amazing as usual. However, someone stole my iPhone and I lost all of my photos and videos. Super pissed. To make matters worse, this is the second iPhone in less than two months. In February I dropped my last iPhone in the ocean. Lost everything. Two vacations, two iPhones, no photos.

Sorry for your loss... er, losses, Lucian. Maybe you should consider having the next phone surgically grafted onto your body.

Would you believe I've gone through 4 iPhones in the last year? In my defence, I sold 1 of them. But yeah, I'm now on my 3rd 4S.

awesome




.. boo.

This was our third consecutive year. We love spending time in California. It's a beautiful state. And well Coachella is pretty badass.

Watched this the other day, after Andrew Ellard linked to it on Twitter. Very well done. Reminds me of the kind of thing you'd see on Black Mirror and that.
