I’ve had a busy leisure life apparently, because not only have I done some cool SF touristy things, but had no time to write about it! Stairwalks of SF My buddy (good news for optimists, on right) and her buddy, et moi, went on a “stairwalks of SF” hike on Sunday, I believe. I was [...]
I have travelled so much for work, that working here is unique to me. A couple of reasons why it’s weird to work near where you live, from a chronic business traveller: 1. I describe evening activities and people know what I’m talking about 2. I can bring food from home, but I don’t, as [...]
Came back from a 1:15 minute stroll around the neighborhood. Returned book to library, then down mason to Bay, up around Fort Mason, by Aquatic park, up to North Point, then to ma house. The water in Aquatic Park is SO BLUE. Will I ever get up the guts to swim there??
Ah, the communist manifesto. So, for a quiet building in Japantown, you wouldn’t expect a steel security gate. But as my experienced China-traveller friend noted, “these are all over China too.” The line was long at 8:35AM. I was surprised when the woman next to me spoke English and confirmed that I could get my [...]

Noe Valley Library Ok more on civic architecture, can I say that I’ve visited a few SF Libraries, and can [...]

PacBell Park Went out with the fam to the park, and this time I managed to hijaak a kid from one of my sisters and try out the fun play areas @ PacBell. I went down a slide a dozen times. Some nice random Dad person pointed me to the slide, behind the other slides, [...]
in the news… Yes, turns out the same hackers that got into Paris’ sidekick also compromised 300,000 consumers data on choicepoint/lexis nexis. BBC article here. Lame as it comes through P. Hilton, at least it unveils how corporations are willy nilly with personal information. The method that the hackers used, and somewhat in that BBC [...]
Tel-Hi I took a tour around Telegraph Hill, logged here on the cool google-maps-pedometer. (link received from Good News for Optimists, link on right). My route was the rule of: no elevation change unless absolutely necessary, and keep to the edge of the hill. It took about 2.3 miles, and lasted about an hour. A [...]
First in reverse order, if that makes sense… Marker Seven Party Thanks to John, Patrick & Rebecca over at Marker Seven for a great party last night. Managed to hit the bridge at 5:30PM, and despite lots of back and forth with my buddy tharpo over there about the “fire” on the bridge and whether [...]
