March 22, 2010 — Aaron FulkersonSave California State Parks, Legalize It
August 5, 2009 — Aaron FulkersonWith our new California state budget our state parks are being cut significantly and many will be closed.
Green Ribbon – SOS Parks! – "Save Our State Parks Weekend – Thank you for your support of California’s State Parks! Visit your favorite state park and show your support by taking a picture while you are there of you and your friends wearing a green ribbon, wearing green or holding a sign! "
In general, these twitter ribbon campaigns have seemed useless to me, but I am a proponent of state parks and I felt compelled to participate in this campaign. I do not think it will have any positive impact on the park system. However, I have an idea that would.Instead of closing parks to shore up the California budget California could have a positive and immediate impact on the budget by changing the drug laws. More than half of the California state budget is allocated to prisons and the criminal justice system. More than half of the inmates in our state prisons are non-violent drug offenders. Do the math.
Legalize it – don’t criticize it
– Peter Tosh
Disclaimer: I will not advertise it and it probably is not good for the flu, asthma tuberculosis or even umara composis as Peter Tosh tells us in his song, but it surely would be good for our tax base as well as our budget. Moreover, legalization would negatively impact the drug gangs in Mexico, which again would have a positive and immediate impact on our budget.
I am not a hippie pot head, but I am a pragmatist and the current drug laws are an artifact of the Reagan administration’s fear politicking that is the single largest contributing factor to the bankrupting of our state. It is clear the current drug laws are as absurd as prohibition in the 1920s.

“Insisting That The World Be Turnin’ Our Way”
August 2, 2009 — Aaron FulkersonLike a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We’re the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin’ our wayTara and I took the family on the road to San Jose for an open source software conference where I was speaking and my employer was exhibiting.
We took highway 5 North to my hometown Morgan Hill. From San Diego it took 6 hours and 45 minutes. Not bad. We spent most of the week at my sister’s place. Ashby was ecstatic to see her cousins Skyler and Owen. Who also were pleased to have Ashby there to paint with make up and play with.
Because my employer was making a product announcement I was very much heads-down on work items through the week and then busy during the conference. Friday morning we headed South again, but we took Pacific Coast Highway 1 this time.
We stopped in Monterey and visited the aquarium. I have many fond childhood memories of Monterey Bay and the aquarium. We had a wonderful time. We only managed to take in about a third of the aquarium in the nearly two hours we spent there. The place is huge and it has gown significantly since I was last there over fifteen years ago.
In Monterey there is also one of the most amazing children’s playgrounds that I have ever visited. This is on the North side of the city and is well worth stopping by if you have little ones.
After Monterey we stopped at Carmel by the Sea. Tara had never been and we took lunch there. Yelp led us to Hog’s Breath Inn, which was once owned by Clint Eastwood. Over lunch Tara used the retro Bluetooth handset I won by answering a trivia question correctly at the Sourceforge.net Community Choice Awards party the previous evening. Needless to say Tara got some curious looks. The trivia question: what are the most commonly used colors in flags? I’ll provide the answer at the bottom of this post.
The above photo of Tara talking on the aforementioned Bluetooth handset was taken from my iPhone while she speaking on my iPhone using the handset. Isn’t technology wonderful?
After Carmel we spent a night in Big Sur. Big Sur has it all: giant redwoods, mountains, the pacific ocean, beach, waterfalls and a fantastic trail system. Alas, with two little ones we did little more than hole up in a modest cabin. It was a bit too cold to camp with Roesevelt as we had intended.
The next day we headed further south to Morro Bay. Yet another town that indelibly charmed my psyche during my adolescence.
Unfortunately, we returned home the following day. Tara and I both ached for another week of vacation road trip. In a couple of weeks from now we fly to Florida to visit my family. This will have to do. I’m most excited about being able to get back on my father’s 1700 cc Victory (that’s a big ass motorcycle). Some day perhaps I’ll own my own motorcycle and sidecar for the kids.
The complete photo set of our road trip can be found at Flickr. So too can the OSCON (open source conference) photos set.
The trivia question: what are the most commonly used colors in flags? Red, white and blue.
The Salton Sea
April 26, 2009 — Aaron FulkersonTara and I took the family to the Salton Sea yesterday. It is a surreal and interesting place.
From Wikipedia
The Salton Sea is a saline, endorheic rift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault. The lake occupies the lowest elevations of the Salton Sink in the Colorado Desert of Riverside and Imperial County in Southern California. Like Death Valley, it is located below sea level, with the current surface of the Salton Sea at 226 ft (69 m) below sea level. The deepest area of the sea is 5 ft (1.5 m) higher than the lowest point of Death Valley. The sea is fed by the New, Whitewater, and Alamo rivers, as well as a number of minor agricultural drainage systems and creeks.
The lake covers a surface area of approximately 376 sq mi (970 km2), the largest in California. While it varies in dimensions and area with changes in agricultural runoff and rain, it averages 15 mi (24 km) by 35 mi (56 km), with a maximum depth of 52 ft (16 m), giving a total volume of about 7,500,000 acre·ft (9,250,000 dam³), and annual inflows averaging 1,360,000 acre·ft (1,680,000 dam³). The lake’s salinity is increasing by about 1 percent annually, at about 44,000 mg/L, is greater than the waters of the Pacific Ocean (35,000 mg/L), but less than that of the Great Salt Lake.[1]
by slworking2The back story of the Salton Sea is fascinating. The current inland sea formed when canals were built to divert the Colorado River in an attempt to irrigate the Imperial Valley for agricultural. In 1905, one of the canals was breached and water flowed for nearly two years into the Salton Sink. The basin filled and the town of Salton, a Southern Pacific Railroad siding and the location of the Liverpool Salt Works were submerged. The basin being flooded was not a new phenomenon, the Colorado River has been flooding the Salton Basin for, at least, a few centuries.The colorful story of the Salton Sea gets the more interesting in the 1950s and 1960s when real estate speculators developed the area into a “California Riviera” akin to Palm Springs. In fact, in the 1950s, the Salton Sea had more visitors than Yosemite National Park. Jet-setters and celebrities from Los Angeles and San Diego vacationed in Salton City and investors expected huge returns on their real estate investments.
Ashby dancing in the desert.
The hey day was short lived however. The lake has no outlet and therefore the Salton Sea increased in salinity. In the 1950s the fresh water fish (Tilapia) that were stocked in the 1920s were all but gone and the lake was being restocked with salt water fish. Agricultural irrigation exacerbated the increasing salinity by farm irrigation dissolving salts from the soil, which then flowed downhill back into the lake. In addition, pesticides such as DDT and Agent Orange as well as chemical fertilizers seeped into the lake.
Swaths of beach are littered with fish carcasses.
In 1986 authorities declared fish in the Salton Sea not fit for consumption. To make matters worse, in the 1970s the high saline levels caused algal blooms, which is when a sudden increase in phytoplankton algae creates a dense tide of neurotoxin producing algae. These blooms create a stench some describe as smelling of rotten eggs. In 1970s the resorts had all closed down and the tourists were gone. Ever since the Salton Sea has only been of interest for agricultural irrigation and as a wildlife preserve for birds. Birds are attracted to the lake largely because of the population boom that diminished the wetlands in the Los Angeles area. Also, migrating birds use the Salton Sea as a stop off in their migration route. However, due to the toxicity levels there have been a few mass bird die offs at the lake.
One of the old yacht clubs stood here.
Sounds awesome, right? I thought so too.
Which is why Tara and I took the family to check it out. From downtown San Diego it is about a two hour and fifteen minute drive to Salton City. The drive is a gorgeous route through the mountains, past Julian and down into Anzo-Borrego. Stop in Julian for lunch and/or dinner or be sure to bring a picnic because you are likely not going to want to eat at one of the few establishments in Salton City. Before you reach the Salton City you pass desert spot that is popular for city folk to take, or rent, all terrain vehicles and tear up the desert.
Near Anzo-Borrego is a popular area for off road enthusiasts.
I expected Salton City to be completely abandoned, but there is a large modern truck stop servicing the nearby border crossing to Mexico. Also, I was surprised by the many inhabited homes. Most of which were in poor condition. It was interesting to note there are many houses that were constructed in the last five to ten years that are being advertised as starting at $99,999 and look like they would sell for 5-6 times this were they not near a fetid stinking lake of death. One of the more eerie aspects of Salton City are the hundreds of outlines of residential lots created by power lines and crumbling roads, but no houses.
The beach we stopped at was where one of the old yacht clubs was located. It was bizarre to travel the 4 lane divided road leading up to the beach and parking lot. The divider had clearly been planted with palm trees and foliage that has long since died off. The parking lot was overgrown and barely distinguishable. The beach was littered with fish bones and decomposing fish corpses. However, it didn’t stink at all; although, it was a very windy day.
The Salton Sink was all I expected, and more. It was a gorgeous drive and we had a wonderful time. I intend to return and spend a few hours shooting photos.

El Camino Real Photo Project
December 14, 2008 — Aaron FulkersonNote: Read my previous post for the complete back story about the ECR Project.
Ricky Montalvo sums up the project quite well:
The El Camino Real Project is a photographic journey down “The Royal Road”, also known as The King’s Highway, the 600-mile (966-kilometer) California Mission Trail which is now a stretch of California road that consists of small businesses, homes and various motels. From So. San Francisco to San Diego, El Camino Real has a rich visual history. We aim to capture it.Visit the ECR Project Flickr Group.
The King's Highway: El Camino Real
December 13, 2008 — Aaron Fulkerson
Ricky Montalvo tweeted last Thursday that he had an idea for an El Camino Real photo project. Recently I too had been thinking about the King’s Highway after visiting a local San Diego Venture Capitalist; specifically, about the significance of the highway to the colonizing Spanish, the rich history associated with it and how it has changed so dramatically over the last 239 years. I thought it would be nice to travel the highway over a series a trips and shoot photos. So, when I saw Ricky’s tweet I direct messaged him a note and asked what he was up to.
Ricky Montalvo wrote:
Between So. SF & San Carlos, on El Camino Real are some of the best retail exteriors and motels I’ve seen. The idea I has was to simply go down that particular section of ECR and photograph the modern w/ the not so modern. Maybe even a “day in the life of” type journal.
Example: http://flickr.com/photos/rickymontalvo/2917159913/in/set-72157607781991439/
Although this is a processed image of mine, I’d like to approach it with more of a neutral look and color. Almost like this: http://www.lizkuball.com/southofcota/work/southofcota_13.jpg
I think you could do the same with your particular section down in SD and then we can publish it and ask the Flickr Community to fill in their parts, since ECR duns over 100miles of urban sprawl.
Thoughts?
-RickyNow, Ricky is an amazing multimedia artist and photographer. I, on the other hand, am not. I’m not afraid of embarrassing myself. So, I responded to Ricky with:
That’s awesome! I’ve thought for some time I would like to shoot up and down El Camino b/c it’s quintessentially CA. I had some ideas about the bells, but I like your idea better. Let’s do that. So the point to focus on the particularly urban sections, correct?
Ricky’s final response:
Correct. Nothing OFF El Camino, try to do a contrast of new and old. Get traffic, shops, motels etc. Give it that sense of urban sprawl and 70′s vintage with modern strip malls.
I’m going to take a stab at it this weekend. Let’s compare/colaborate via Flickr. I’ll create a private Flickr Group for us.
-Ricky
I asked Roy Kim, MindTouch VP of Engineering, to join me and Ashby (in case you’re new, that’s my [almost] 3 year old daughter) and we set out this morning. The El Camino Real begins in San Diego at Mission San Diego de Alcalá. This was the first Spanish Mission in California and was founded in 1769. While El Camino Real starts at the mission, in what is now called Old Town, San Diego, the highway breaks up quite a lot in San Diego County and doesn’t actually take shape until past La Jolla near Caramel Valley.
What we photographed will surely be very different from what Ricky shoots this weekend, but we had to capture the start of El Camino Real. We started at the Father Junipero Serra museum in Presidio park. The highway is supposed to begin at Taylor St. and Presidio St., but we found a bell, which are used to mark El Camino Real, above this spot closer to the museum. This must be the southern most bell on the Kings Highway.
After shooting around the Father Serra museum we shot in Old Town itself. Now, the fact of the matter is, today this isn’t El Camino Real, but the shots in Old Town were taken pretty much where the original El Camino Real would have been. The next outing I plan to shoot on El Camino Real near Caramel Valley, which is a suburban landscape with rolling hills and canyons.
I shoot with a Nikon d40x that has a stock 18-55mm lens. The Nikon d40x is a decent camera, but the lens I use is not that nice. Ashby shoots with a Fisher Price Kids’ Digital camera. I do not recommend this kids’ camera. Other than it being nearly indestructible the thing takes terrible photos and is actually difficult to use. For kids, I think a key chain digital camera is a better choice.
The conditions were pretty bad for photography. It was 68 degrees F and overcast with occasional drizzle. Alas, I wasn’t going to change plans on Ashby and we had a lot of fun. Ashby took it all very seriously. She framed her photos and was very excited to show me the shots. “Look at the steps I took a photo of.” “I took a picture of some leaves. Look. Look.” It was frickin’ awesome.

Ashby’s Photos:
For the record, Roy is a much more experienced photographer than myself; so, I’m interested in seeing his shots. And most of all, I can’t wait to see what Ricky comes up with.

Shorpy: The 100 Year Old Photo Blog
June 5, 2008 — Aaron FulkersonI’ve been thinking how odd it is that I’m one of the very few 3rd generation Californians I know. My Great grand parents were Okies that came to California during the dust bowl and lived in the tent cities initially upon their arrival. So, when Sam Lawrence tweeted about Shorpy it was timely.
Here are some choice dust bowl photos.
November 1936. Arvin migratory farm workers’ camp in Kern County, California. “Tom Collins, manager of Kern migrant camp, with drought refugee family.”
“Children of Oklahoma drought refugee in migratory camp in California.” November 1936
“Destitute pea pickers living in tent in migrant camp. Mother of seven children. Age thirty-two.” Nipomo, California. February 1936. Photograph by Dorothea Lange. The anonymous subject of this famous Depression-era portrait known as “Migrant Mother” came forward in the late 1970s and was revealed to be Florence Owens Thompson (interview). She died in 1983.

Fantastic site. Thanks Sam!
Hulu
April 4, 2008 — Aaron Fulkerson
Hulu gave me butterflies in my belly, but will they last? I have my doubts. Hulu means “cease” and “desist” in Swahili and in case you missed it, Hulu.com is a new site that’s a joint venture of NBC and News Corp. Here’s what the Hulu About page says:
Hulu’s ambitious and never-ending mission is to help you find and enjoy the world’s premium content when, where and how you want it. We hope to provide you with the web’s most comprehensive selection from more than 50 content providers including FOX, NBC, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, and more to deliver premium programming across all genres and formats, television shows, feature films, and clips. Watch full-length episodes of current primetime TV shows such as The Simpsons and The Office the morning after they air, classics like Miami Vice and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and clips from Saturday Night Live, Nip/Tuck, and others. Hulu also offers full-length feature films like The Usual Suspects, Ice Age, Three Amigos!, and The Big Lebowski as well as clips from films such as Napoleon Dynamite, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Devil Wears Prada and many more. Hulu is free and ad-supported — available anytime in the U.S.
Hulu was founded in March 2007 and is a joint venture owned by NBC Universal and News Corp. In addition, Hulu has closed a $100 million investment from private equity firm Providence Equity Partners.
Hulu’s small, but growing team is headquartered in Los Angeles, California with a Research and Development team in Beijing, China.
Hulu launched publicly in the last week (or two). The site’s user interface is fantastic, the video quality is good enough for me, and the content is remarkably sparse. In fact, the lack of content is down right disappointing. When I heard of the site’s impending launch several months back I had high hopes. Tonight I visited the site for the first time hoping I could watch "Heroes"; unfortunately, only Season 2 is available. Another complaint: Why can’t I embed videos? They’re running ads periodically in the video, they’re getting their money. Why not allow me to embed videos?
Even with the disappointing lack of content the site got me excited. Maybe the TV networks are waking up. There can be no doubt the future of TV distribution is the Internet. I hope the networks embrace this sooner rather than later and provide us with the content we want, on our terms. Hulu hasn’t realized this, but it’s got promise. More than any other implementation, I’ve seen thus far. I hope they don’t lose interest or steam, but I’m realistic about these things. Check it out yourself, it’s free if you don’t count the commercials every ~10 minutes.
Dick
June 21, 2007 — Aaron FulkersonVice President Dick Cheney has asserted his office is not a part of the executive branch of the U.S. government, and therefore not bound by a presidential order governing the protection of classified information by government agencies, according to a new letter from Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., to Cheney.
Bill Leonard, head of the government’s Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO), told Waxman’s staff that Cheney’s office has refused to provide his staff with details regarding classified documents or submit to a routine inspection as required by presidential order, according to Waxman. – The Blotter
Throw these bastards’ corrupt asses out of office and try them for war crimes already! I am dead serious. Many of these people belong behind bars. The Dems aren’t any better. If they were they would have pushed for impeachment and fought the twice illegal seizure of the office of President. Any 2008 Presidential candidate that seriously pushes to impeach these pricks gets my vote. I guess this leaves Kucinich. He’s definitely one of the most intelligent candidates even if he is a tad liberal for my taste. Gooooo KUCINICH!!

Percolate!
May 10, 2007 — Aaron FulkersonOpen Coffee is a weekly opportunity for the startup scene to… Percolate! Entrepreneurs, Developers, Designers, Artists, Investors… you’re all invited!
The key is a regular place and a regular time – it’s not important who comes along, some days it might be no one – just that people know if they want to meet, this is the time and this is the place.
The point is to to create some density for people — a few places where people know they can meet or bump into others.
In this spirit I’m announcing that Fridays at 11AM-1PM, It’s A Grind in Little Italy (free wifi) will be the location of the downtown San Diego OpenCoffee.
1601 India St. San Diego, CA 92101
If you need parking there are visitor spots at MindTouch’s office, which is located at:
555 West Beech St #501 San Diego, CA 92101
If anyone asks you about parking tell them you’re meeting with MindTouch and they should leave you alone.

Morgan Hill, CA
May 8, 2007 — Aaron FulkersonI grew up in Morgan Hill, CA. It’s just south of San Jose. When I was a kid Morgan Hill was mostly orchards and fields. My family's home was nestled at the base of the Santa Cruz mountains just north of town. There were lots of plum orchards, grape vines, lettuce fields, and other agriculture. I just came across the following Morgan Hill public service announcement from 1938 that played at the old Granada movie theater. Watch the video. It's about local businesses. The only business I think that's still in operation today is Guntner Brothers feed store. The business that stood out most to me was "Morgan Hill Sanitary Bakery". If I recall this put out of business the "Morgan Hill Contaminated Bakery".
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xumF72tQYTE]
The last time I was in a theater with my father was at the Granada. It was "Ground Hog Day". Great movie. That was also the year I graduated from high school. Cool movie. Thanks a bunch to the dude who posted this on YouTube. Also, thanks a bunch to Stephen Musgrave & Tim Roach who are the two dudes who run the Live Oak Alumni Network, which is how I indirectly learned of this video.
Carnevale and Mardi Gras in a Single Post
February 22, 2007 — Aaron FulkersonSan Diego’s manufactured festivals: Carnevale and Mardi Gras. Matt Yukor, the Visions restaurant bartender, is drunk and itching for a fight.
Little Italy has a Carnevale night. Tara, Ashby, and I spent about an hour and half walking around the neighborhood checking out the stilt walkers, musicians, and people wearing Venetian masks. I asked on gentleman on stilts if I could ride on his shoulders. He said ‘no’. I asked if he would consider at least giving me a piggy back. Alas, he said no to this as well. We grabbed a Guinness and Calamari at Zia’s Bistro. They do wine events early evenings on the weekdays. We hadn’t been there, but we liked it. As for Carnevale, it was pretty sedate. Then again we were indoors by 7PM. Maybe it got crazy after we left, but I doubt it. The whole concept of Carnevale is cooked up by the local businesses in order to get folks from outside Little Italy to come out and spend money. I noticed Fillippi’s had a line of people going darn near around the block. This is one of the busiest places in Little Italy, but not one of the best in terms of quality of food.
San Diego does Mardi Gras. Kind of. The city cordons off a 2 block by (about) 10 block wide swath of the city in the Gaslamp district, creates a police militarized zone of happy-fun-time, and charges $20 for admittance. I didn’t actually go to Mardi Gras, but Steve and I walked the circumference of the event bar-hopping along the way. Neither of us could convince ourselves, or one another, that spending $20 a person to listen to DJs, second rate cover bands, and throngs of drunks cheering maniacally at passing PG-13 rated floats was a good use of our dollars. We did decide that if we saw a hole in security we would slip in. However, the city was damn serious about collecting their $20 a person. Security was better for this event than I have seen at some military installations. I’m serious. There were police in staggered patrols around the circumference on horseback, bicycle, foot and squad car. I don’t believe we were ever out of site of police or hired security. The city likely needs to collect $20 a person because keeping people out must have cost a fortune! Inside the event, Damien told me, they were equally serious about maintaining absolute control. Allegedly, even crossing the street was a security risk in the eyes of the police and was disallowed. This made it difficult to meet up with friends on the opposite side of the street.
In lieu of Mardi Gras, Steve and I started off at an Irish pub on 4th st. We had a couple Guinness. We then walked all the way around the event. On 7th street we almost stepped into a restaurant called Visions, which Steve had been told by somebody was a happening and funky place. While walking toward the, albeit side, door I was physically halted by a fellow named Matt Yukor. He was a tall 30-ish bartender who shoved his hand into my chest and demanded to know: "where do you think you’re going?" I told him we were planning on going inside to have a drink and he derisively sneered: "no you’re not" with an alcohol laced breath and slight slur to his speech. Apparently Matt Yukor had been drinking on the job. Evidently the bar was in the Mardi Gras and Matt Yukor, the bartender for Visions restaurant, San Diego, CA (search engine optimization) thought it appropriate to lay hands on a potential patron and assert what little authority his life afforded him. I thanked him for letting us know it was closed to the public as I gently placed my hand on his chest in a much more ginger manner than his was thrust onto my body and told him to have a good night. As Steve and I turned to leave it must have struck Matt that I had made a point of mimicking his actions and he flipped out. Matt Yukor, Visions restaurant bartender, San Diego, CA was itching for a fight. I suggested to him that he probably shouldn’t shove potential patrons. With his chest puffed out he charged us in an attempt to rub against either of us, mind you we were already walking away. It was hilariously reminiscent of high school, which I’m guessing Matt Yukor, 30+ year old Visions restaurant bartender (another attempt at search engine optimization), likely did not graduate from. This made me stop and smile. I asked a couple other employees who were smoking nearby what Matt’s name was. Matt Yukor proudly announced his name and even spelled his last name for us: "Matt YUKOR–Y-U-K-O-R". I hadn’t asked for the spelling, it struck me that he may be attempting to prove that he could spell. Meanwhile another employee proudly hollared at us: "the owner don’t give a fuck so don’t bother, he don’t give a fuck man, I’m serious." Hehehe… Needless to say, avoid Visions Restaurant in San Diego, CA where Matt Yukor drinks on the job, is itching for a fight, servers don’t speak grammatically correct English, and allegedly the owner "don’t give a fuck".
Steve and I left Visions Restaurant in San Diego, CA and went to the the Marriott’s Altitude bar, which is on the 23rd floor (if I recall correctly) and overlooks the ball field. A very cool place where the staff is classy and polite. Finally, we finished our night off at La Cantina. Daniel the bartender sings opera and makes the best damn margarita I think I’ve ever had. Here’s how he does it: 1 lemon, 1 lime, 1/2 an orange, 2 shots tequila, and about 1 1/2 shots of Controy. All shaken vigoursly with ice, served in a salted glass with a lime. Killer. Not too sweet, just right. The food is pretty good there too.
