restaurant <i>Cha-Ya</i> on Valencia. <i>ByteLord</i> is a one-of-a-kind genius level programmer
that I met on an IRC channel one evening. This guy slings code so neat and clean, he puts Linus

A typically chilly San Francisco summer afternoon, he was dressed for warmth. A beanie with an
off-white pattern, reminiscent of the Windows XP start menu background. A comfy gray overshirt
with a clean geometric pattern. Some kind of smart watch whose battery was obviously dead. Most
tellingly, a *Java* t-shirt underneath the overshirt, which in the context of the rest of the
outfit, gave the programming language an undeserved level of coolness.

Besides the comfortable textiles, I was impressed with <i>ByteLord</i>'s choice of accessories.
A wallet chain, which I hadn't seen anyone wear since the mid 2000's, added a metallic balance
to the lower half of his appearance. His neck was adorned with a necklace that didn't appear to
serve any functional purpose, but matched the wallet chain quite nicely. Finally, he was wearing
rather large, television-sized eyeglass frames. Frankly, I had never given much thought to
accessories in an outfit, unless they have some kind of microchip in them. But <i>ByteLord</i>
had arranged them in such a way to make the outfit look effortless, yet stylish.
