I took BART to and from the city today. Since it was a spare-the-air day, and transit was free for all or part of the day, lots of people did the same thing. The train into the city wasn't too bad, but on the way home, all eight cars were standi...

I'm tired of Sin City

2008-06-17T08:18:04Z

For most people, Vegas is a vacation-- a wild getaway to a weekend of gambling and drinking and strippers and things that happen and stay in Vegas. It's bright lights and partying, bachelor parties and free drinks. It's the real city that ne...

Scotch!

2008-06-03T06:35:53Z

If you're getting spammed by some guy who wants to share his new music with you even though you have no idea who he is, it's easy to solve. Go to his blog, hover over his user picture, and click "block".

Jack London Square hostage situation

2008-04-26T06:43:11Z

My street is closed, as is the whole neighborhood. A guy down the street is barricaded in a condo with his wife and two small children. He's a parolee, and he's armed with a gun and a meat cleaver. KTVU has good video. I'm far enough away to b...
