There's a tree on my car!

Today, SF got hit by a pretty severe storm. I just missed the shuttle to work this morning, so I got to spend 40 minutes standing in the rain waiting for the next one. My pants were still wet hours later when I went to lunch.

When I got home this evening, I discovered the storm had left me another gift. A tree. On my car!



At least I'm not alone:
San Francisco was rocked Friday by the powerful punch of the biggest winter storm in two years with high winds and heavy rains disrupting transit service, causing widespread power outages and road and bridge closures....

...High winds brought down at least 400 trees or branches which contributed to loss of power for up to 62,000 Pacific Gas and Electric customers in the Noe Valley, Twin Peaks, Bayview-Hunters Point, Sunset, Richmond and Mission neighborhoods. As of Friday afternoon, 57,000 customers were left without power and told to prepare for having no power throughout today.

What I've been working on

It's hard to believe it's only been about 3 months since Google Presentations launched. Today, we launched some new features. I'm particularly proud of the embedding functionality, which I worked on.
