He lives in San Francisco. He writes code. He loves everybody.
I continue to check my little dashboard of # SanFrancisco COVID numbers each morning to decide whether to go inside the local good-but-not-amazing sandwich shop. If you've been following me for a while, you might remember that I track three stats. I blog about it when some stat crosses from a pretty-safe value to a not-so-safe value or vice-versa ; but first I wait a week after the stat…
About a month ago, I pointed out an "equine vine" wire-frame garden ornament thingy in Golden Gate Park. I dunno if it's worth seeking out, but if you do want to seek it out, then my location description "Kezar Stadium" wasn't so helpful—Kezar is a stadium-sized stadium, and is 99.9+% not this wire-frame garden ornament thingy. So I took some photos of Kezar Stadium and then…
Donated blood this morning. They asked me some new questions, interested in my recent contact with anyone with Ebola. 😬 Let's be careful out there, everybody.
Spotted some art on tree stumps around # SanFrancisco walking between SFPursuit sites this weekend. The little blue house on the tall tree stump near the 19 th Ave entrance to Golden Gate Park has a "For Sale" sign out plus American Gothic squirrels. A Hello Kitty pussyhat on a not-so-tall tree stump near Arguello and Euclid.
New-to-me sidewalk art in # SanFrancisco 's Upper Haight, Page Street near Lyon. A piece by Eclair Bandersnatch. In my pic, it looks like her hair eroded, but that's just my camera failing to depict glitter. Her hair had a lot of glitter. An assemblage of toys.
A fan of the # SanFrancisco Crosstown Trail posted his tribute " Straight Up ," a walking route straight up the middle from the south side of SF up to the Golden Gate. Monday, I walked it. I got a hint that my timing might not have sync'd up with the author's intent when I read the route instruction "As it [Pope Street] turns north, look down the street and you’ll see Mt. Davidson…
Outside Lands is still two weeks away, but the temporary cell towers are already up and their diesel generators are in full roar. Meanwhile, at 20th and Irving, there's a new-to-me Kal Zakzouk sidewalk chalk piece:
How to finish an # SFPursuit challenge in minutes years : Attend elementary school a half block away. Get to know the neighborhood. Write (the first draft of) The 2-Tone Game , one of whose puzzles covered the relevant territory. If you're failing to discern something through glare-y glass: give up, stand back, and consider what nearby establishments the Hours & Access notes might describe.…
Some mighty nice sidewalk chalk art at Presidio Wall Park today, celebrating Phillip's birthday. I dunno know who did it; it's unsigned. Maybe, like, Phillip's grandma or something?
On my way home from the grocery store, I saw some Flower Power sidewalk chalk art on Irving St at 8th Ave. "I 🌼 SF" # SanFrancisco (In related news, I have replenished my supply of celebratory bubbly and am repeatedly refreshing the news page.)
