  1. 😬 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 β€œvery 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.

  2. 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

    🏁 what I’m considering β€œthe 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 β€œget 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: β€œSourdough”, by Robin Sloan ( https://www.robinsloan.com/books/sourdough/).

    Re-using my comment on Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore: β€œFun, 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 β€˜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 β€œPork Chop Express” and I had to send proof back east to brag.

  9. Nice, sometimes, when the fog is just right, as the sun sets, you get a rainbow through it

    cropped photo of a rainbow over the mission in san francisco from the center bottom of the frame to the top 1/6th from the right-edge, a power line crossed 1/6th across the bottom edge and the top two stories of building in the bottom left face west and reflect the sunset in its windows. the sky is mostly cloudy with some blue
