Kiva is an organization that makes microloans throughout the world to improve the standing of people everywhere. And it's you who makes the loans -- loans as small as $25. The repayment rate? It's 100%. No one has ever defaulted on a loan through Kiva.

Hate Comes Home

So I'm watching tonight's The Daily Show and its moving look at the exclusion of Racists in America by Rob Corddry. At the end of his report, he stops on the street to say that we'll be pals unless I'm one of "these things." At which point he points to the left side of the screen where various races start scrolling up the screen, slowly at first, and then increasingly faster.

So I do what any right thinking TiVo owner would do: I pause and scroll through the list slowly. There's stuff like Fatty, and Jerry Lewis, and Luxemborgian. As well as Size Queen, adopted, spastic, and asthmatic. There was also "Someone who only gets their news from The Daily Show."

And then I see it.

"TIVO LIST PAUSER"

Rob hates me.

Bay Bridge

Odd that the same bridge that's the cause of most of my teeth grinding is also something I just can't help but photograph. I took these from Treasure Island (bet ya didn't know there actually is a place called Treasure Island, huh?) The shot looking down into traffic had to be taken while driving, so forgive the sloppy framing.

I still have to learn how to shoot photos while looking into direct sunlight.
