April 29th, 2011
Well I’ve seen a lot of free stuff on the sidewalks of San Francisco, but this one was a surprise. Be sure to bring a truck, a really big wrench, and a screwdriver. It’s still plugged in and seems to be in fine condition.
Spotted at 18th and Guerrero.

Hippies love Real California Cheese
April 27th, 2011
Who doesn’t love cheese? (Aside from vegans, and we all know they don’t count.) Even hippies from San Francisco love cheese, as seen in this 1997 TV spot for Real California Cheese.
Goodbye, tiger.
April 27th, 2011You know that fantastic mural of a tiger on 15th and Valencia? The one on the side of Pica Pica?
Well, it’s gone.
Sad day indeed. Goodbye, tiger.
UPDATE: Walked by today, saw this. Don’t get me wrong, this is obviously skilled work; but it’s really generic compared to what was there before.
Guerrilla bench activism
April 25th, 2011
Recently, an anti Sit/Lie activist created and placed public benches around the city. These guerrilla benches are made out of recycled wood pallets, and come with a manifesto wheat-pasted onto a nearby utility pole.
Interestingly, San Francisco’s sidewalks once had public benches. But they were removed a decade ago. Why? Well the reasons sound very familiar if you paid attention to the Sit/Lie arguments: homeless people and drug addicts used the benches. (I guess the next step will be to remove the sidewalks, since homeless people have been known to use those.)
Anyhow, if you’d like to use a guerrilla bench, there is one by the abandoned building at 15th and Mission.

Git humor
April 22nd, 2011Only true software engineers and cheesy 80’s movie buffs will understand this one, so proceed at your own risk.
Git/Lost Boys joke: “Are you rebasing? Inquiring minds want to know.” #nerdhumorless than a minute ago via web
