  1. i would have misspelled this on assignment

    an old fashioned plastic punch letter ribbon sticker that was probably red a very long time ago which proclaims in all caps on top of a glass display case at the post office: MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

    another case proclaims:

    PHILATELIC INFORMATION

  2. maybe a silly thing to get excited about but every single time I’m all: “Wow! Look at it go!”

    Tomorrows 20" NY style pizza dough, which I made a few days ago using 10% wheat, 90% bread flour, and cold water, mixed in a food processor until the center of the dough read in the high 70s F (about 75 seconds), and then immediately cold fermented for a few days.

    A clear plastic 6L fermentation tub, lightly oiled with olive oil, with a tight ball of dough on the bottom, in the center, immediately after mixing. There are about 2” of empty space around the ball on the bottom and the top center nearly reaches the 2L line on the tub.

    3 days of cold primary fermentation later and the ball has more than doubled in size and is pressing itself against the sides all around the tub, displaying nice bubbles

    curious what effect this is having / will have on the robots

  4. did a little 20 mile bike loop from the mission mission to glen park, lake merced, sunset dunes park, gg park, doubled back to the pump track + skills track to meet the fam (the plan all along)

    jr pushed his scooter around the skills track boards for a bit, we hung out on the logs further north, then they went home and I continued on through GGP and the wiggle

    just by a rough eyeball count of blue “stand with joel” vs yellow “recall engardio” signs on the houses facing the GH, joel is doomed

    my bike, rolled up off the path onto the ice plant, leaning against a logit’s an ~10 year old gravel bike w/ slicks on it (an all-city macho man with disc breaks and 105 components) red on the front half and white on the back, with a buncha stupid stickers on the white half. I’ve got two water cages on it use both, a panier rack and bag.

    pictured: joel engardio himself, as seen from Sunset Dunes

    photo of the back of someone’s house, which faces the new Sunset Dunes Park in san francisco. Thy’ve got a wooden fence about 8 foot tall, the house is yellow with aluminum windows and a black pitched roof. Peeking over the roofline of the fence is one of those giant skeletons people get for halloween. Only the skull is visible but it is probably the entire thing behind the fence, and it is facing kinda northwest toward Sunset Dunes. Even cooler, someone put a fake pigeon (?!) on top of the skull, which, like, nice job.

  5. at the picture shop a few days ago getting a julian lage sf jazz residency poster framed (I caught the solo acoustic show and the duo with marc ribot, who is just the coolest 😍) and while I was trying to decide on a ready-made or not, the other table became the center of attention w/a full size (huge) star wars poster, which looked mint.

    the owner helping him says he worked at lucasfilm in the 80s and that this was one of two sizes or something? he was very excited

    a normal sized (18x24”) poster for Julian Lage’s SF Jazz residence in dark blue, dark green, and maroon over cream featuring an abstract guitar, a telecaster control set, flowers, and a hand holding a pen for some reason.I was trying to decide between the closest wood I could get to an acoustic guitar, and a metal that in hindsight looks a lot like fret wire. the metal was 1/3rd the cost of the wood, so I went w/ the metal."Julian” is horizontal in a script font on the left in red and LAGE is in all block sans in blue and green. the bottom left corner lists the dates and says:plays 4 nightssoloduo????

    a giant table-covering poster labeled “STAR WARS REURN OF THE JEDI SERIES B ONE SHEET”which had been stored rolled, never folded, and in mind condition, I assume for 42 years (circa 1983) but maybe a repro?This is one of the illustrated headshot ones with darth vader in front of the second death star top center, luke under him, han under that, and the rest of the cast horizontal below Junior and I just happened to watch this one last weekend and it is pretty hokey, but the people in the store were all pretty excited by it.
