…but it does have a lot of cool people.
Take the optometrist that I went to tonight because my glasses broke in half yesterday. Not only was I seen on a few hours’ notice, but I also got to hang out with a cool pug/bulldog/chihuahua mix as I did. She particularly enjoyed laying on my bag [...]

I was cruising around the Internets this evening unsuccessfully trying to get a handle on the costume I’m going to wear to the company Halloween bash this year, and I stumbled upon a great SF Weekly slide show on the 15 lamest last-minute costumes…my favorite quote:
The Ubiquitous “Devil” Horns: You think you can roll with [...]

Reddit.com’s reader party last night in SoMa was well-attended and a good time. Great crowd and a cool atmosphere. Saw and spoke with a lot of people who I can’t help but think are a big part of the future of social media online.
But the highlight of the evening had to be the appearance of [...]

Somehow, it feels like fish sticks should be good for you.
Sure, they’re typically fried, and in most cases compiled from various parts of fish that couldn’t make it into the big leagues, but they seem like they should be part of a healthy, well-balanced meal.
I don’t think that it’s the relatively recent allure and popularity [...]

The Engadget reader party was definitely not the highlight of my week, but I suppose it’s a little unfair to criticize it since it was a free, open to the public event. But that said, I found myself standing at the end of a considerably long line to get into a building that was on [...]

The Bay Guardian took a decidedly weak position in endorsing the “Anyone but Gavin” candidate for mayor today. Among the reasons cited for the SFBG’s self-described ‘protest vote’ is Newsom’s decision to not attend the monthly Board of Supervisors meetings despite a non-binding resolution demanding that he do so, largely at the behest of his [...]

So, the Castro is one of the few areas of The City that I still had not been to since I moved here a few months ago. I suppose it’s only appropriate that I visit on the day of the Castro Street Fair.
It was crowded, but manageable - and I was surprised at how big [...]

Getting free wifi on bart rocks…but it seems kinds streaky for now. Maybe it’s just the stations….more research is obviously needed….
Edit: According to this article, they are quietly rolling out wifi at several BART stations - though it looks like it’s linked to the stations, rather than [...]

Found this site from Manuel Guerzoni tonight. In his about page he notes that every photo on the site is candid, original and shot solely in The City (I’m assuming this is except for the picture from Lake Tahoe a week ago). I really dig that he includes a link to Google Maps on all [...]

Headed down the Embarcadero to the Marina today to find a spot to watch the Navy ships parade and the air show immediately after. Been to a few air shows, can’t recall one that was in a more beautiful place. Thankfully Supervisor Chris Daly didn’t get his way and the Blue Angels were able [...]
