Patrick and I notified our landlord of ongoing noise problems with upstairs neighbors. Laundry. More work on the Recharge Spa website redesign: removed old, unneeded code; dropped in PhotoSwipe and got it working; sent Drew a question about keeping current images or should we use newer ones. Reorganized our tie collection. Wrapped a package. More laundry. Lunch: leftover cabbage and tofu soup. More laundry. Snack: adzuki bean burger with grilled onion, tater tots. Nap. Patrick and Aaron celebrated New Year's Eve at our place. I attended Ryan and Jason's house party in the Mission. Jason made me a drink, but now I can't remember which one it was. Met Anthony Yu on his way out. Chatted with sneeper about red. Encountered many from The Syndicate. Met or encountered Newton L, Peter C, Masado (Toronto friend of Will Kho's), Anthony A (works for a business intelligence company) and Bryan Y (I think he said Jawbone), Brad (co-worker of Anthony A), David (friend of Anthony A and Bryan Y). At the party someone was using Cycloramic to take auto-spinning panoramic photos with an iPhone. I had never seen that before, and I thought it was gimmicky but interesting. Peter and I talked about choruses and men's choruses and ggmc.com. Mark and I talked about Germany, Europe, Spain, France, Bilbao, Guggenheim. I can't remember who told me, but I learned that there is a 2-part Treasure Island television series starring Eddie Izzard which I must find to watch. We welcomed the new year in the room with the television watching various cities around the world do the same. Ray gave pachooey, fickledragon, sneeper, and me a ride home. Aaron spent the night at our place on the couch.
