There’s now a Bitcoin ATM at the Metreon, because of course there is
Recently a tipster informed me a Bitcoin ATM had appeared at the Metreon. Needless to say I had to check this out. If you’re looking for the machine it’s near Cafe-X, the robot espresso machine, as well as a vending machine that somehow makes “gourmet” ramen. So in theory you could trade in your Bitcoin…

Top 5 strangest things in Little Delhi’s Twitter feed
One of my favorite Indian restaurants in San Francisco is Little Delhi in the Tenderloin. Great food, reasonable prices, and they offer takeout and delivery. Can’t recommend them enough!

Handwritten song lyrics taped to pole
I’m not entirely certain what compels someone to write out the lyrics to the 2005 hit Hope There’s Someone by Antony and the Johnsons, then tape the page to a pole in a BART station. Perhaps they were inspired by the recent Avicii version? In all likelihood we’ll never know. It will remain as one…

12.5 ounce Coke
Ever had a 12 oz can of Coca-Cola and thought, “Gee, that was refreshing, but I could have used an extra 1/2 oz”? If you said yes, they’ve got the product for you: a 12.5 oz bottle of Coke. The same gas station with this sign also advertised a 16 oz bottle of Pepsi. Presumably…

A look behind Obama’s Mars teleportation scandal
Thanks to whistleblower Andrew D. Basiago, many news outlets picked up the story of Barack Obama’s early 1980’s jump gate to Mars teleportation scandal in late 2011. The story of Jumpgategate apparently comes from Basiago’s frequent calls to the Coast to Coast AM radio show, which is of course where someone who wants to be…

Green Day sells out
Remember when Green Day’s pop-friendly rock took over the airwaves in the mid 90’s? Well, times have changed. Billie, Mike, and Tre must have fallen on bad luck, as they’re now licensing their band’s name out for banana chips.
