Welcome to Cupertino

I arrived in Cupertino yesterday evening. Seems nice enough, very nice apartment, and my roommates (well 2 of them — the 3rd hasn’t arrived yet) seem really cool. We were talking about things to do in Cupertino, so I decided to look online … here’s a great review I found:

Whoever said there is nothing to do in Cupertino is obviously mistaken. [...] If you’re looking for a bit of fun and adventure for a cheap price, I recommend Dar’s Hideaway next to the local Target.

Conveniently, Cupertino is equipped with more than 10 grocery markets for you and your wife’s wildest shopping fantasy.

So needless to say, it looks like we’ll be having to go a bit farther to find some fun things to do. Speaking of which, I tried my damnedest to go to Oakland last night for Ryan’s screening of the slomo video fest, but it was a total bust.

Slomo got boing’d

Sweet, the slomo video fest just got boingboing’ed. In case you didn’t know, The SloMo video fest is a collection of 100 1-minute short videos whose main feature or idea is slow motion. I created (with the help of Mikey, Tania and Michael) one of those videos. I’m going to go to Oakland on Saturday to another screening (previously it showed at MonkeyTown in Williamsburg), and anyone who is interested and in the Bay Area should come buy, or look for it in a town near yours.
