I never thought of where I live to be the suburbs. Hayward is the sixth largest city in Bay Area (wow, where did Santa Rosa come from??) and that has to mean it’s concrete and gritty and culturally-rich and commercial and dirty and all of those things that characterize a major urban center, right?

September 21, 2007Did you know that back in 2001 I began calling myself “The $ynchronizer” because of the Air song, Electronic Performers?
