The Gregorian calendar we all follow was introduced on October 15, 1582. So, happy 442nd Gregorian January 1st!

And later this year, happy 443rd October 15th!

Usually added at New Year’s to align atomic clocks with Earth’s irregular rotation, the leap second will be discontinued by 2035. This change eliminates disruptions to global systems like GPS and telecommunications, allowing for uninterrupted timekeeping.

On New Year’s Eve, we walk up a big hill then down to the ocean to watch the sunset. In my latest blog post, I share many photos and some thoughts from this year’s walk.

The New Year's Eve walk

Yellow-orange sunset light, mostly obscured by clouds, reflects on the wet sand as white capped waves recede from the bach. Two gulls stroll in the foreground.

#NowPlaying Sly and the Family Stone, Fresh (Epic/CBS Records, 1973). This record is a New Year’s Day listening tradition for me. The songwriting and playing are so bright and uplifting, the pockets are so deep, it’s the perfect way to kick off a new year. Extra points for Sly being an Oakland guy, and this was recorded at the Record Plant in Sausalito. #vinyl #funk #records #HappyNewYear2025

A black vinyl record spins on black turntable next to a green houseplant, the record sleeve stands up in the turntable’s dust cover behind the platter

Managed to get to the Golden Gate Bridge overlook for a New Years sunrise today. I had a nice streak of going before the pandemic, and hopefully I can make it a tradition again. #SFBA #SanFrancisco #GoldenGateBridge #HappyNewYear2025 #Sunrise #Photography

A photo of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin headlands side looking south east towards downtown San Francisco. There is a pre-dawn glow on the horizon with a band of golden orange light, with blue and indigo clouds above it in the sky, and purplish-pink water below the city in the foreground.

Happy New Year! In San Francisco, a lot of people go to the beach to watch the last sunset of the year. This little group was perfectly silhouetted against the red sky and its reflection in the wet sand. #sfba #HappyNewYear2025
