I was also surprised to find that pest control (I assume) includes cats someone or some group takes care of out there.

Photograph of an industrial building covered in vertically oriented corrugated steel, behind a chain link fence. Scattered between the fence and the building are half a dozen white cat houses facing various directions in no particular apparent organization

a closer photograph of one of the cat houses situated between a sidewalk curb and a chain link fence with narrow panels slotted through the fencing, confirmed to be a cat house by the open empty can of cat food in front of it next to an empty water bowl

🏁 what I’m considering Mission Bay and Dogpatch.

Being from Maryland, I wondered where Maryland Street, once I found, many years ago, that most of the state-named streets, are along the eastern side of the city here. Maryland St. specifically is right on the waterfront. But you can only get to a few blocks at a time between all the industry.

All of the visible sections of the Mission, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill, Mission Bay, and Dogpatch streets (and most alleys but not all the weird driveways and private sections of old streets which are slowly returning) are marked with a purple trail.

solidarity with all the parents of little kids who would be hitting their winter break stride right now if they had a moment of peace but won’t until school starts up again, ten of the longest days of the year from now, and oh btw it’s been raining the entire week

so hot on my wishlist I got it in fully modulated stereo

10th anniversary: https://www.djfood.org/raiding-the-20th-century-is-10-years-old/

‘Raiding the 20th Century’ is 10 years oldIt’s been bought to my attention that the original version of my ‘Raiding The 20th Century’ mix is now 10 years old. Originally a 40 minute guest mix on Eddy Temple-Morris‘ XFM radio show, The Remix, it was my attempt to construct a rough history of ‘cut up’ music in the midst of the mashup up/bastard pop craze. Taking in Music Concrete, avant garde tape composition, radiophonic tape experiments, megamixes, edit kings, scratching, early sampling and of course mash ups, it was one of the most densely mixed and edited things I’ve ever done. When it debuted it was put up on the Ninja Tune site at the time and quickly went a bit viral, causing the server to melt down and the site to grind to a halt by the next morning.
