Pacific Pinball Expo
Posted October 5th, 2009 by GrahamI checked out the Pacific Pinball Museum’s 3rd Annual Pacific Pinball Expo in Marin this weekend with over 400 pinball machines all set to free-play. I was in heaven!
Visited the Mothership!
Posted June 24th, 2009 by Graham
It’s my day off and I didn’t have anything planned so I decided to take a trip to Cupertino, CA to visit the Apple Campus. There are a few spots of the campus that are open to the public including a few restaurants nearby and the Apple Company Store (a gift shop with Apple branded goodies).
The campus isn’t as big as you would think, although I’m sure that the buildings surrounding the main campus are also Apple owned as well. Rumor has it that Steve Jobs was back at work today, too, now having recovered from a liver transplant in Tennessee. Though, of course, my visit to Apple was uneventful and I didn’t see anyone walking around in a black turtleneck and jeans.
Proof that I'll buy anything if it has an Apple logo on it.
Twin Peaks
Posted May 24th, 2009 by GrahamWent up to Twin Peaks this afternoon to take some pictures. Unfortunately it was cold & foggy today, but the view was still impressive. Below is some video that I shot. It’ll definitely be worth my time to go back on a clearer day, or at night. Very cool place!

While I was at Comic-Con I ran into the hosts from the Totally Rad Show, the extremely popular Revision 3 popular culture video podcast. Jeff, Alex, and Dan were really great guys to meet in person! Check out their show over at Revision3.com/TRS
Dodgers vs. Braves
Posted July 9th, 2008 by Graham
While we were out in Los Angeles this summer, my sister managed to score tickets to the Dodgers vs. Braves game. Dodger stadium was great! I even ran into a few celebrities while I was waiting in line for pizza. (Paul McCrane from ER & 24 was standing behind me while I ordered!) The Braves won that night.
Good Night Los Angeles

Went to the Griffith Observatory this evening to catch the sunset and see the city lights at night. Amazing views. You can view the rest of the photos I took by clicking on the one above.
I can hardly believe that it’s already July 1st. Effectively, I only have about 3 more weeks out here before I have to start gathering my things and make the three-day drive back home.
I just met Weird Al Yankovic!
Posted June 12th, 2008 by GrahamWow. I honestly do not know how I’m going to top this one. While at a Barenaked Ladies Concert being held near our apartment, a surprise guest walked up on stage to help them out with a more Polka-y version of “If I Had a Million Dollars.”
They first announced him as “Awkward Al,” jokingly, and I didn’t get it at first, but when I saw a lanky guy jump on stage with an accordion I made a b-line for the stage, it was Wierd Al!
After the concert was over Mr. Yankovic was very nice and patient with everyone, he took pictures, signed autographs and met with the throng of fans off the side of the stage who were excited to see him there.
Anyways, I always hate bugging celebrities for pictures because it’s usually an empty gesture — “Hey, can I have a picture with you, because my friends will be SO jealous!” Most celebrites know exactly where these pics are going: Facebook, MySpace, etc.
I figured I’d make an exception for Weird Al, though. I’ve been a fan for ages. He was very nice and patient with everyone. What a great guy!
