Vacation day. Slept in. Uninstalled the Brave web browser. Conversely to its intent, many pages either loaded very slowly or failed to load at all. I might try it again in a few months or so, but it simply failed to do what it advertised. Breakfast: instant espresso, an apple. Recharge Spa work: corrected a handful of small issues I encountered. Old short links to Google Maps failed with an error, but only on mobile. Corrected an attribution of an image we used on a blog post. Rode Lyft to the Mission, met Jef at 24th Street Station BART. We rode BART to downtown Berkeley, then visited the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA). I saw works by Ruth Asawa and Buckminster Fuller, Pomo Indian baskets, and more. A nice surprise was a work on loan: Le Pont de l'Europe by Gustave Caillebotte. We encountered a friendly man named Jeremy from Seattle and chatted for a few minutes. Afterwards we ate an early dinner in the garden at Jupiter: beers, mushroom pizza, beet salad, with Ben serving. Gelato at Almare Gelato Italiano. I had coffee and pistachio. Afterwards we visited his place and after a brief house tour we watched Better Call Saul (season 1, episode 6, Five-O), Anjelah Johnson Not Fancy, and Arrested Development (season 1, episode 1, Pilot). Rode Lyft Line home.
