Are you learning an instrument and are looking for a welcoming group of musicians to play with? I play with a regular group of musicians who play mostly bluegrass songs. If you can play just a few notes (G, C, and D!) you can play bluegrass songs with us.
Looking for a new zombie book? Something about how people survive the fall of the entire electric power grid due to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP)? Head on over to my post-apocalyptic wiki www.BooksOfDoom.com.
My all-volunteer archery club meets every Saturday morning in Golden Gate park. We offer very low-cost lessons (including equipment) to the public for between $20 and $30. Learn how to sign up.
The Operations director from my last company saw the company through it's sale and the founders exit and is now looking for a new gig. He's moving back from DC to the Bay Area and is whip smart. I've seen him: Negotiate with a landlord over subtleties of our lease, and then Work out an…
Many years ago I ran an online grassroots group called the Voters Telecommunications Watch and was part of the "Turn The Web Black Day" protest. The folks at Old Wide Web have done a bit of history of that day with an interview of me. I'm happy to have had some small role in the…

(This isn't a new year's resolution or anything, I just like being alone.…

He berated other players for losing to him. He antagonized the table by calling for time before he showed his cards, not before any decision,…
