Exciting day at the office. Too big booms and no information whatsoever. I guess they don’t realize just how freaked out people working in two really tall office towers can get.
At first I figured it was just some small gas burst in a building nearby, but when people started to flock out of the building it looked a little more serious. Not letting people know what is happening didn’t help though…
It was 1:20pm and I was starving; I had just walked back into the office after going out to buy lunch. Before I could take my first bite the first burst came and then the second so I left empty-handed.
After waiting outside for a long time and trying to make sure my entire team was there or had gone home, I decided to go home myself. I’m still starving and I still don’t know what’s happening.
Check the photos for details. Curiously, I was just thinking to myself yesterday how I had no pictures of my office building.
Update: Just got an email from the office saying it was an “underground electrical explosion (due to nearby construction)”.

I just returned from World Cafe Live where I saw Nouvelle Vague (and The Submarines). It was lots of fun. I have a few photos and a couple of quick videos for the more fanatic readers.
I enjoyed every song and it was a bummer that I had to go alone… though that didn’t stop me from singing along and Dancing With Myself (which they opened the show with by the way). I was pleasently surprised with The Smith’s Sweet And Tender Hooligan - waaaaaaaaay cool. Much much fun.

I’m having trouble downloading videos from my new Canon PowerShot SD700 IS. It only happens if the videos are really big. I connect the camera and it downloads any pictures and short videos I may have, but not the large ones. It uses a small SanDisk 1GB SD card, but I don’t have a card reader, so I can only try to download by connecting the camera directly to the computer. I tried 3 different computers already. I haven’t been able to find anyone with a similar problem online. I have a video from Emergence 06’s keynote that desperately wants to be free. Any ideas???
