Had dinner with my mom, brother, nephew and his girlfriend at my older brother’s house. Was nice. Only got pictures of the food and pets, though. Didn’t feel that the humans were in the right mood.

Walking Along Spanish Landing
Went for another impromptu San Diego walk with the Tapias. This time we met at and walked the Spanish Landing along the bay across from the airport.

Super Duper Super 8
Watched a $5 matinee of Super 8 today with the Tapias and absolutely loved it! Totally The Goonies for a new generation. Definitely not for younglings though (rated PG-13) because of some pretty intense scenes and some language, but overall a terribly fun movie to watch. Great performances by the child actors. Stunning visuals and effects. Perfect combination of Abrams and Spielberg.
UPDATE 06-12-11: Found out that this poster is not official. It was created by a fan. Still, well done.

Chula Vista Night Walk
Went out for a nighttime walk with the Tapias through some neighborhood streets of Chula Vista. No photos, but 2.5 miles worth of calories burned on this trip.

Viewing Brenda’s Museum
Had a video chat with a very tired Brenda to show her the Museum of Me video she could create with her own Facebook account.

Museum of Me
Through the latest This Week In Tech podcast I learned of the Museum of Me website from Intel. I let it connect with my Facebook account and it created a stunning video with music of my Facebook data using my friends, my photos, my links and even my most used words. Really well done. Since there was no way to download or save the video (only post some images to Facebook) I used the screen recording app Snapz Pro to capture and save the video.

Ready To Fly
After a few days away I came back home to find not two Phoebe chicks like I originally thought, but four. Three of them were still in the nest chattering away seemingly ready to fly at any moment and one sitting on the fence below the nest, still being fed by mom. I was able to quickly take some pretty bad shots while mom was always nearby keeping a keen eye on me.
UPDATE 06-09-11: All the chicks have flown the coop.

Miracle Peeing Wall
A leak in one of the Tapias’ backyard brick walls created an interesting photo op, thanks to Sylvia’s creative water-painting.

Another New Trail With The Tapias
Walked about two miles on a trail in South Bay with Sylvia, Rodrigo and the doggies. This trail was just south of the 54 and just north of the KOA campgrounds. Passed some colorfully tagged freeway support columns. Walked towards Plaza Bonita and back.

House Of VS Day Five: Scales, Fur And An Interloper
Mr. Fisher, Theo, Gordon and a welcome intruder whom I call Halle because she’s brown, pretty and played Catwoman. Eight eyes, four tails, twelve paws, four fins and one human observer ironically with no fins, tails or paws.

Apple’s WWDC 2011 Keynote
Watched TWiT Live‘s coverage of Apple’s WWDC keynote presentation of OS X Lion, iOS 5 and iCloud, while reading the live blogs from Engadget for their great photos (where all except one of the photos come from) and Macworld for their excellent write-ups. Pretty much right on the money as far as rumors and leaks went. Still, an amazing amount of software and cloud usability, almost all for free. Boggles the mind how far we’ve come in ten years.

Border Outlets
Drove with the Tapias down to the Las Americas Premium Outlets by the Mexico border. Stopped at a couple of shoe stores, the Disney Store to talk to an old friend and finally at Starbucks. Then picked up some great, cheap Mexican food at Colima’s to eat while we watched “The Empire Strikes Back.” Just another typical Sunday.

Lunch Visit
My mom brought down some food she made and we had lunch in the backyard where I am house-sitting. Also including a couple more random shots of Gordon.

Walk Along Coronado Homes
Went for a three-mile evening walk with the Tapias in Coronado. First we walked along the shoreline but then we moved into the residential areas to check out some of the expensive, beautiful homes.
