A Bridge Too Far, Yet Really Close
So we went out to Point Bonita with the Stanford lot just across the Golden Gate bridge for a picnic in February. The weather was good; the weather was bad; the view was magnificient. Here's a random couple taking it in when the going was good.
See that famous bridge, honey?
Oso on the right, Kirsten, and Mufti sulking in the background. Not really sulking.
Oso. Karhu!
Mufti making a 'I'm a documentarist and interested in your story' face. Not in Point Bonita, this one.
One of the Finns, Matti, goes looking for famous bridge. I swear I just saw it, man.

My Couch Is Depressed
This is a really cool building on the corner of Howard and Sixth. Called "Defenestration", it is actually an art installation that makes for some great "what the hell?" moments when riding around the city. It's really beautiful and playful, and they executed it with great sense of humor--and careful rigging. And, defenestration used to be the method of choice for getting rid of pesky points of view when all the peeps were living in, like, castles. (Remember the scene from Braveheart where the effeminate prince dude gets it? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.) Check out more here.
See how they're like insects? Funky!
Fuck this!
Attack!
Reminds me of Dalí, this one.
Out With My Buddies
Aki hung out for a few weeks, taking trips out of city and state. When he was in town, we tried to hang out in the Bay Area sun as much as possible.
Gonna chill out at Dolores Park.
Like so.
Check out the new shades on Mr. Selin.
"Make sure you get the city in the background."
I think this was me and Janne's first bike ride in the city sometime in early February. I was on my brand new, and bad-ass Bad Boy. Cold as hell, though. Well, relatively speaking (Cheers, Finland!)
Yeah, it's great at the beach.
