Back from the Dead!

It's been a while since I posted here. I didn't really mean to let it go this long. Anyway, since I last posted, I have:

• moved from Pittsburgh to the San Francisco area
  
• It's a lot warmer here, folks.
• There are so many Asian and Indian immigrants out here! Not to mention Hispanics.
• People love their food.
  
• Which is likely to be seafood or vegetarian food
• You can pay $5 for a gallon of non-organic, plain old milk at Target
• gotten a new housemate
• learned a lot about the mobile GPS unit industry, and the map data suppliers for the industry
• figured out how to use Craigslist.org
• you can buy a TV
• or post in the personals section
  
• made my first real investment (in a Certificate of Deposit)
• Enrolled in a freehand drawing class
• I know how to draw a vase now... mostly
  

What will the future hold? Well, possibly I will:

• Endure the coming depression
• Yahoo is about to disgorge many of its employees
• Consumer confidence and inflation don't look good.
  
• Invest in a mutual fund
• Overseas investments look good right now; commodities too.
• Better keep some money market funds around, though...
  
• Start exercising more regularly
• 3x a week
  
• Get a new haircut
• New idea: short hair
  
• Download the Internet
• this one is a "stretch goal"
