Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. Golf in the city. Had a chance to swing the sticks at the newly-revamped Harding Park Golf Course in San Francisco. Built in 1925, apparently this course fell into severe disrepair in the 1980s and 1990s. But somebody at the club convinced the PGA that they need to play a major tournament on this once-hallowed ground. And the city of San Francisco spent the last few years restoring this gem. Get out there and play it before Tiger does. So Michigan has been...

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. Car tippin' and fire startin'. Every once in a while, I'm convinced I have ESP. OK, maybe not exactly "ESP". But I seem to have an uncanny knack for predicting the next song on the radio or on a mixed-up iPod. Welcome to 1982, MP3-style. Errr, "FREE" MP3-style. Posted by nate johnson @ 11:30 PM. Fly the friendly skies. On AA you have the "option" of dropping $3 for .25 worth of packaged snacks. Nice. So, who's doing it right? How about this merger. Between...

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. To cap, or not to cap. You have no doubt noticed by this point that i have made a conscious effort to de-cap my blog. something about the simplicity of lowercase letters made it a worthwhile endeavor. but after an enlightening conversation with my buddy, andrew, i have decided to temporarily suspend my exercise in typography. Beginning with this sentence, I would like to welcome uppercase letters to wheresnate.com. Posted by nate johnson @ 11:27 AM. It's t...

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. So long, apple. hello, ann arbor. I wrote the following email to my Apple brethren today. Onward to greener pastures. My last day as a full time Apple employee will be this Friday, July 1. After three years, three buildings, two departments, and one wacky cubicle, I've decided to head back to school to pursue my MBA. Beginning in September, I will be a full time student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Posted by nate johnson @ 12:24 AM. Nob Hill...

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. It's the Happiest Place on Earth. Chock full of strollers and teenie boppers and families stuck paying high prices for mediocre food and cheaply-made souvenirs. Disneyland has changed. And yet it remains exactly the same. So that's what it feels like to this Disneyfan. Despite the army of child-bearing vehicles, the plethora of ass cleavage from pre-teens, and the $8 price tag for drinks, the Mouse continues to make it happen. The Giants pulled out a 4-3 v...

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. I'm in awe. Here comes the latest from System of a Down. These guys can stutter-step with the best of 'em. It's the kind of killer toonage that makes you want to jump in the pit and bang your head. Where do I sign? Posted by nate johnson @ 11:41 PM. I can't get enough of The Used. I love this screamo stuff. In particular, "Sound Effects and Overdramatics" and "Listening" make me all warm and tingly. It's called In Love and Death. What a bum(mer) knee.

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. Go ahead, tax my latte. Off to Seattle tomorrow to see my nieces. It's such a killer town, with the mighty Puget Sound within arm's reach of every element of the city. I can't wait to head to the Pacific Northwest. Posted by nate johnson @ 12:45 AM. Large bucket, extra butter. Even though it's 100% Bush-friendly, it's only mildly sucky.). The Time list is just that, a "list". No order, no sorting. It's an exercise in indecisiveness. OK, I admit it, I'm a m...

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. How to grill pizza. One of the best parts of living in California is dining alfresco. Nothing is better than the ability to fire up the grill 365 days a year. I'm a big fan of my grill. And I'm an even bigger fan of wood-fired pizza. So after growing a bit tired of grilling chicken and veggies and salmon, I came up with a way to make pizza.grill-style. Bingo You've got a fresh grilled pizza to enjoy.

Living large in the four-oh-eight. wicked large. The musical peeping tom. One of the first things i do when i go over to someone's pad is check out their cd collection. it's a great way to start a conversation and to peer into their personality. and, since an ipod or computer directory is a bit more personal, it's also one of the casualties of the movement to digital music. Check it: www.audioscrobbler.com. So if you're a stats guy (like me), you can get a sense of where the heavy rotation is. After a lo...
