If you want to get my full experience, I have just retro-tagged my old postings, so you can click the "san diego" label below or follow this san diego label link. They're in chronological order from most recent to earliest - if you want to read in order scroll to the bottom of the page and read up (I don't know how to make them appear in any other order.)
