    daddy I thought we were supposed to be playing legos?”

    “this is playing legos!”

    batman was not impressed.

    photograph of a stack of 10 lego legs or "pants" in a rainbow with fire mario on top standing on a small green platform facing a gray lego figure with like 20 heads stacked on top, the top one has long hair and is wearing a red hard hat. head-lord is taller than leg-lord by a few heads. a dumb old gray batman lego figure (normal height) stands between them looking up being mad about everything

  1. Inspired but in no way meeting the bar set by the amazingly incredible early girl tomato marg I had at the pizza, bagel, and beer fest last weekend

  2. 😬 a lil’ nervous, I have an appointment with a stylist this afternoon, my first since February 2020, when I was forced to end years of an every-three-weeks wash and style scissor-cut booking near the office (a luxury). I, eventually started cutting my own.

    I found “very short” to be pretty easy to DIY, but decided to let it go nearly two years ago and started growing it out long, w/ DIY maintenance.

  3. Check it out, shadows of the tower in the fog

    also the interior panels seem to have a much fresher coat of orange paint than what we typically see from the rest of the city

    a photograph of a large radio tower, Sutro Tower, in san francisco at a dutch angle with the sun centered opposite, shining through the tower supports with fog throughout. the upper spires of the tower are casting long shadows in the fog

    selfie more or less under the tower of a large radio tower in san francisco, or at least as close as it can be approached without working there

    🏁 what I’m considering “the rest of Eureka Valley”, Clarendon Heights?, Upper Market, and Midtown Terrace. I’m gonna have to come back for the interior of Laguna Honda.

    I’ve bee consistently pecking away since my last post in April, but for most of them I need to “get there” first which makes it harder to do in the morning. I’d rather bike when I have that much time. Then summer break started, vacations, etc.

    Next idk, maybe Dogpatch and Mission Bay?

    A San Francisco street map centering the area around Twin Peaks, bound by 17th street along the north, Noe St. to the east, Portola to the south, and 9th ave on the west. Surrounding Twin peaks, most streets have a meandering purple GPS path I’ve logged on it, generally completing (in order I walked it) Eureka Valley, Clarendon Heights, Upper Market, and Midtown Terrace.

  5. Announcer: Thirty parents in SF agree.

    Parents: [in unison] The Junction in Mill Valley is ideal!

    Parent gravely: They have a damned pirate ship!

    [The parents all nod in agreement]

    Unnamed older parent: The beer garden vibe is also nice.

    [The parents nod in agreement and toast their drinks]

    Parent gravely: It’s a too bad there’s nothing like it in San Francisco!

    [The parents continue to nod in agreement]

  6. 19th book of 2024: “Sourdough”, by Robin Sloan ( https://www.robinsloan.com/books/sourdough/).

    Re-using my comment on Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore: “Fun, light, very quick read. Very weird to read something so connected to ~2017~ techie-San-Francisco and get 100% of the references and roll my eyes at a few of them.”

    Started Sloan’s newest, Moonbound, immediately afterward, and it’s very different so far.

  7. I think fauxtesting kinda sucks but this one cracks me up every time I walk past it because I also think scoldy and bossy signs also suck.

    A fake road sign in the window of a house in san francisco that says:PRIVATESIGNDO NOTREADI'm sure on the backside, it didn't say nothing, etc., etc.

  8. Moved a few afternoon meetings to make the last hour and a half of Kid Koala at SF MOMA’s ‘Art of Noise’ exhibition. I’m a huge fan from way back, was amazing!

    Normally a phone-in-pocket-guy at shows but, he put on on John Carpenter’s soundtrack to Big Trouble Little China to play a bit of “Pork Chop Express” and I had to send proof back east to brag.

    photograph of Kid Koala at SF MOMA's ‘Art of Noise’ exhibition in front of a knee-level table of fancy audio gear, with stacks of records, probably 60 or 80 or so, leaning against the table, and Kid Koala standing on front of it, looking at the back cover of John Carpenter’s soundtrack of Big Trouble Little China trying to decide what song to play for us
