Okay, I missed the boat on this one since National High Five Day was on April 19, but I thought I'd share this little "documentary". It's a bit long, but worth watching. High five!
From the NHFD site:
Imagine that while on your way to class, you pass a dignified looking middle-aged man in a suit. You, of course, are wearing the same underwear as yesterday, a pair of pants off your floor, and a T-shirt with something ironic printed on it. Instead of noticing this respectable pillar of society fifteen seconds or so before your interaction is fated to occur, and lowering your head to avoid his disapproving scowl, you take another course of action. You confidently walk forward, and at the moment of passing, you and the businessman simultaneously raise your hands and wordlessly high-five. The sound of the perfect high five resonates, causing those nearby to silently and enviously take notice. You both walk on, and likely relate the story to whomever you eat dinner with that night. There is no reason why this should not happen with alarming frequency.
What were you doing one year ago today?

Ah, interesting question. Since I'm over thirty, my memory is a bit hazy, so I don't recall the exact events of March 19. Of course I was working at Six Apart, where I've worked for nearly 3 years. We were working on Comet, which eventually turned into Vox.
Last year I was also a part-time graduate student in the Visual Communication program at SFSU. Since then I have dropped out of that program because it became too difficult to work full-time and go to school, and I just wasn't getting anything out of the program at SFSU.
This year I have some plans in the works for some changes in my life, which I'll announce in the next few weeks! And no, I'm not pregnant or quitting my job!
I'll leave you with a link to a post from last year where I tried to get people to answer my personal Question of the Day.

How about the tiny residents of Selby? These itsy-bitsy folks reside in the elaborate permanent display of toy trains and sets at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA. Shot the same day as my fair pics.
Show us the best picture you took in 2006.

Here's my most popular photo on Flickr, shot at the SRL show back in August 2006.
And two of my personal favorites shot at the Dia de los Muertos parade in San Francisco's Mission District:
After reviewing old photos taken earlier this year, I found these nice little summertime memories that I thought I'd share on a cold day.
Yay, no rain tonight so I headed over to the huge Day of the Dead parade in the Mission, and ran into Nick and Rebecca. The parade ended up being much larger than exptected, with lots of people drumming, playing music, and dancing. Overall people were in really good spirits and the crowd had a nice friendly energy. You can see the rest of my photos here.
