Cryptic tech billboards in San Francisco have a cultural impact : NPR

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:56:05 +0000

"The billboards here are actually something that makes me feel really pessimistic about the city," said Allie, a San Francisco resident who was among the dozen or so people to comment on current billboard trends on NPR member station KQED's Forum talk show last summer. (Forum typically doesn't give the full names of callers.) "They kind of give this feeling that like the rumors are true and tech has overrun the city, and that's the whole culture here now."

It’s just such a bummer to see a place that I remember as openminded, laid back, creative, nonjudgmental erupting with all this anger, everyone pointing fingers, blaming people that really aren’t to blame. Come on, guys. You’re better than this.

Caltrain goes broke, will likely wipe out weekend, night and midday trains - San Jose Mercury News

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:04:01 +0000

"Caltrain has gone broke and will likely need to wipe out half its service — including weekend, nighttime and midday trains — officials warned Thursday, bracing passengers for a major shake-up to the popular commuter line that links San Francisco to the South Bay. "This is not an April Fools' joke," Caltrain CEO Mike Scanlon told the agency's board of directors. "This is real. We're at a watershed moment where there's a possibility this railroad could go away.""

Tiger bread - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:18:47 +0000

Huh. I wondered why I'd never heard of it before we lived out there, or seen it since. That's some tasty stuff. "It is sold as "Dutch crunch" in delis throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, but is little known in the United States outside that region."

Does A Private Company Own Your Muni Arrival Times?: News: SFAppeal

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:41:30 +0000

"When Steven Peterson created Routesy, an iPhone app that lets riders see Muni arrival times, the last thing he expected was to hear was that Muni's real-time arrival times were actually the property of a private company located in the East Bay. But that's exactly what happened, when Alex Orloff, COO of a company calling itself NextBus Information Systems, contacted him in August, 2008, demanding a "straight revenue split" or a "data licensing agreement" from Peterson. "

Managed to do quite a few of these things while I was out in California. "Summer is the time for family and friends to come and visit, so I took a little while and tried to think about things to do and places to eat."
