So it is January 19th and I am in short sleeve T-shirt here in the S.F. Bay Area. It is something I cannot get over. I do love it. So I went with my family down to Half Moon Bay to see where the Maverick Surf contest was. It is located off of Pillar point. When we got there to my surprise there is tide pools with actual moving, swimming, fighting sea creatures. I had so much fun exploring the tide pools. If I wasn’t a graphic designer I would have wanted to be a marine biologist. I love the ocean in so many ways.

So working a few blocks away I went on my lunch break again. Nothing really to talk about, but the Skull Candy booth in Moscone West was kind of fun to visit. And they had free wristbands in pink…. Hey it’s for my daughter….

So 2 days later and he has different numbers on his sign. I guess 10,525,000 million galaxies got destroyed cause it dropped down in galaxies.

One of my favorite places to eat in San Rafael, CA is Sol Food. It is a Puerto Rican restaurant. They have lots of things going for them. First thing they have great food and everything is fresh. I always order the ” bistec sandwich”, it is thinly sliced steak w/ grilled onions, avocado, swiss, and garlic mayo ( I get it without since I hate mayo) and it is pressed.Then it comes with this tangy clear hot sauce that I want to put on everything I eat…. I also got the “mofongo” which is green fried plantains mashed up with garlic. That is something I crave all the time.

The second thing is they are open till 10pm and I think there smaller location is open till 2pm on Fri & Sat. This place is definitely doing something right cause it is always packed. They have 2 locations a block from each other .The one on 4th is a small location only a few seats but the original one, the 2nd location is a big lime green building which has seating and the ambiance is great . You feel like your in a tropic food joint. The building made some of the locals angry cause the green color. This place just adds color and flare to the drab buildings around it. Check it out it’s worth the trip. I have seen some great comments at the Chow message boards

They are located at:

732 Fourth Street & Lincoln
San Rafael, CA 94901

and the sit down location:
901 Lincoln Ave. & 3rd
San Rafael, CA 94901

There is not much to say about this, except OKAY…

No matter where I go I always run into Frank Chu. He kind of has a cult following in San Francisco. Well he was at the Macworld 2008 standing right outside Moscone Center West. If you are interested in reading more about him here is a link to his Wikipedia page about him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chu

Went to Macworld today and for the most part it was a let down. Yes the Macbook Air is great but the vendors for the most part are not selling anything different from what the next vendor is selling. I did not find any really good deals either. I did get hooked up with Griffin earbuds which are not even out yet which was cool. So big shout out to griffin. I will give my feelings about them after this post. So enjoy the few photos I took at Macworld.
