2005.01.27, Christy, Stacey, Siva and me took the ferry to Alcatraz.

On the ferry, we're moving towards 'The Rock". It looks rather like a aircraft carrier to me.

The Rock was used as a millitary fortress, a federal prison, and even the Indians have occupied it once.

On the ferry out to Alcatraz, looking back at SF city. The clouds look strange... typical of SF microclimate, though -- it might be raining on this block but sunshine on the next.

Inside the cell house.

There're different names for hallways like this, e.g., Michigan Avenue, Time square.

On Alcatraz, looking out to the city, the bay bridge, and the birds blying barely above sea water. Wondering if they're hunting for fish.

這是位在三番市教會區的 22 街與 South Van Ness 附近。幾次經過還有看到尼姑師父在裡面招呼，下回進去參拜一下彌勒佛，順便了解他們如何在西班牙裔天主教的大本營教會區租（or 買）下一個路德教堂（旁邊柱子上有寫這是路德教派的教堂），重新裝潢成為寺廟的過程。

Went to the Atlas Cafe this evening with James and Siva, my dear friend.

The Atlas Cafe is only 2+3 blocks from home. In the back of the Cafe there's an outdoor area. Since it's a bit chilly now in SF winter, they have outdoor heater going on and a nice tent to cover the area, smoking and sipping coffee in the quasi-outdoor area is actually kinda nice.

Life is random.

Mac 行銷很厲害，把產品最大的缺點巧妙轉換成為賣點。
輸入的歌曲只能隨機播放，不能依照順序。
因此， Life is random. Give chance a chance.
虧他們想得出來，了不起。

I was sent out again to cross the street to the north building to redeem my free pass postcard for a real exhibit pass. Took a long time to get in line, waited for a computer, entered my info, then get a pass.

資料當然是亂填一通的啦！
