Mainly because it's never the people you'd like to see strolling around without pants doing it.

But to celebrate San Francisco's annual tribute to all things made from dead cow skin (and always held on the hottest weekend of the year - seriously) let's go to the band that knows more about the leather fetish world than any other. The mighty Judas Priest performing Hell Bent for Leather from the 2004 Reunited tour.

  • How was your Sunday?

  • Going in reverse order, [livejournal.com profile] johnnyeponymous sent out a call for people to be interviewed. I volunteered. We agreed to meet today at his place of work.

  • He works at one of the most awesome places on Earth.

  • C'mon, they have a working Difference Engine!

  • I got the grand tour. Since much of the museum is closed for renovations, this meant a lot of areas not accessible to the public.

  • Including the storerooms. Holy crap.

  • [livejournal.com profile] isomeme, they have a Vax. They have the Pong prototype. They have so many Cray supercomputers they've turned one into a couch.

  • Box after amazing box. And on one shelf, boxes containing the LM flight computer from Apollo 12.

  • I got to touch it. Geekgasm!

  • What else... Google's very first server, a ticker-tape machine from circa 1890, a Univac control station.. it was overwhelming.

  • The actual interview was about gaming, and went very well.

  • Luckily, I was missing the 49ers get pounded into snail snot for the third week in a row.

  • Can we just declare this season done?

  • But my Giants? A complete game from Matt Cain leads to a 4-2 victory over the rapidly deflating Colorado Rockies.

  • Atlanta lost, and the Padres are down 12-2 to the Reds in the 9th, so it looks like our magic number is going to drop big time, and we'll be in the lead for the Wild Card should that be required.

  • Need to do laundry now.

  • I touched something that went to the Moon.
