I don’t know why Wired posted this article on their Autopia Car blog, because this should be filed under “Awesome stuff from a utopian future where no one ever has to drive”. Basically it’s a backpack with a hook and a motor that zips you along suspended cables over traffic and other congested areas. The [...]
Local photoblog The Streets are Calling just posted this gem that may or may not be from 2008 and it’s causing so many conflicting emotions in my cold, post-American Apparel heart. On the one hand, she’s seems like the kind of person who not only will go with you to that show you wanted to [...]
Fellow Panhandler and Pisco/Disco enthusiast Miguel23 dropped this photo bomb on the twitscape last night. (What?) The latest addition to our personal favorite gonzo art lounge has been up for a week or so, but because this is version 2.0 of the Web I don’t actually have to go over there and take a picture [...]
No. Wrong. Ugh. I don’t even know what to say about this post on Modern Luxury Magazine (whatever that is). Ignoring, for a moment, the fact that we’ve all known we can get $2 beers on Divis for years now – you can’t just go making up names for (parts of) a neighborhood that already [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m going undercover this week as an average MUNI rider on a rush hour commute. I haven’t had a regular morning commute in roughly 9 months, so I’m kind of like a second grader on the first day of school. (Not a first grader though, because duh I’ve ridden the bus [...]
If you haven’t guessed by now, at least one-half of AggressivePanhandler (that’d be me) doesn’t actually work downtown like the rest of you sheeple. Thus, I am spared the most common of daily interactions that San Franciscans love to complain about so much. But since I’m working downtown this week, I thought I’d bring you [...]
That’s right, it’s National Hot Toddy Day! And while MissionMission and SFWeekly will tell you to go get yours the Humphry Slocombe way, we say our neighborhood (always) does it better. So go out and celebrate tonight at Madrone and ask for their extra special Hot Toddy. They make it with their own homemade apple-cinnamon [...]
First of all, I’m not blushing, I’m just a little red because I’m hungover from Holiday Party Week, as I like to call it. When I worked for Don Draper at Sterling Price Waterhouse Cooper’s or whatever lots of shmoozy reps would throw lots of fancy pants holiday parties for clients they didn’t really like [...]
No, I’m not talking about how our burritos are better than anywhere else in the country. I’m talking about this map from David Enos/Hidden Host:
I suppose we should be concerned that we live in “A Horror Film”, but I guess that’s better than “Utter Human Misery” or “City Hall”. Plus, it kind of reads like [...]
Posting links is my favorite thing to do because I can trick you into clicking on something you might not have read otherwise. Plus, I read a lot of stuff, so why wouldn’t I share the highlights?
[FringeSF]: Fringe Halloween 2009 at Madrone – Your favorite indie DJs play a Halloween set at your favorite bar. [...]
jie: please do not use violent language if you are accusing someone of doing just that. The term you used to refer to this girl (whom I am not defending) is one that is loaded and, akin to swastikas, a symbol of intolerance and hatred. As a Jewish woman, I find both incredibly offensive and hurtful. Yes: my family was killed the Holocaust, and I have women in my family who were killed because of their genders (as women). So please, think a bit more before you speak. Thanks. - please...
