Baby bike crash on way to work. Just fine and, more importantly, no clothes change necessary.
Happy Gratuitous Consumerism Day, y'all! Off to man the retail trenches...
Thanksgiving bird tonight: Peking Duck. Thank you, Squanto!
No turkey, but Slipper Prawns galore. Look like insectoid manta rays.

Stanford students should go occupy the 2nd floor of Hoover Tower to protest how much their football team sucks.
Loving second calls that are mea culpas for preceding calls full of unwarranted indignation and angry demands.
Two homie skaters comparing weights and all affectionate and affirming with each other...high as fuck...in line at Del Taco.
OH Part 1: "So dude was on Safari and..." OH Part 2: "...then he totally switches to VMWare."
OH: "We're old Twitter friends." Definitely oxymoronic and possibly an example of a particular type of conflation.
Sixpigeon's bike got stolen. Far worthier of national media obsession than some kid [not] in a balloon: http://sexpigeon.org/post...
Shut up. I am not interested in the minutiae of my own life, much less yours.
Maybe this is inappropriate but, re: the L. King interview of C. Prejean, my first thought was "MAN, she's high maintenance."
I don't so much mind repeating things for customers who happen to be high, but I do draw the line at them debating me, while high.
Sometimes I feel like Scalia must have a little plaque on his desk with the guiding motto: "What Would An Asshole Do?"
製品情報 / GXR | Ricoh Japan - http://www.ricoh.co.jp/dc...
Flash-based sub-site by Ricoh to show you all about the nutty GXR now in production but which still totally seems like it's a crazy concept that will forever remain the fevered dream of an eccentric designer.

The Backlash Against Cyclists - Bay Area Blog - NYTimes.com - http://bayarea.blogs.nytimes.com/2009...
I consider the whole "cyclists who don't stop at Stop signs" thing to be a red herring. Cyclists who blow Stop signs when they don't have right of way are assholes and deserve to be ticketed, at least. Cyclists who blow Stop signs after checking to make sure they aren't getting in anyone's way...don't get in anyone's way. The "Idaho Stop" rule for cyclists is something we and all states should have and cyclists who break the letter and spirit of the law should be punished. That's that. The rest is just noise.

I get very angry at cyclists who blow through stop signs, stop lights and the like. Because they definitely do make citizens mad at cyclists. I fully admit that I go up to the stop sign and look and listen well. If there is no traffic, I won't stop. But if there's any traffic, I stop. And if I were to get ticketed for not stopping, I'd take my medicine. I would deserve it. I know what the law says.

What people need to bear in mind is that an asshole remains an asshole whether they're driving, riding a motorcycle, walking, biking, etc. What makes car drivers more observant of laws is not that they're inherently better people than cyclists (and let's remember that plenty of car drivers bike, too), it's that they're more likely to be ticketed and/or arrested if they disobey the law....

To me, the point is that it's perfectly reasonable for a cyclist to treat a Stop sign as a Yield sign. But, yeah, if I got ticketed for blowing through a Stop sign with no other traffic in sight, I'd accept the ticket without argument -- the law is the law. Of course, in my head, I'd also think about all the cars that double-park in the bike lane, joggers who run in the bike lane,...

Sharp Park as golf course is best for everyone - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin...
Nevius's columns provide regular encouragement to all that developmental disorders need not prevent a person from gainful employment. As part of his argument that maintaining Sharp Point as a golf course, he argues that golfers are less environmentally invasive because they walk along established routes, unlike mountain bikers or hikers...ignoring that 1) mountain bikers and hikers *do* travel established routes (they're called "trails") and 2) the very nature of a golf course is environmentally invasive.

A lot of innovative and a little bit of insanity: the lenses switch out *with* the sensor. But if they come out with some really compelling lens/sensor options, this might be able to carve out a survivable niche. Wouldn't count on it, but it sure is intriguing. Hopefully they release a fast pancake ~50mm...

Olympus launches E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera: Digital Photography Review - http://www.dpreview.com/news...
|
If one were paying attention to sites reporting the leaked rumors, this isn't much of a surprise. But, otherwise, it's a big surprise...the E-P1 came out just a few months ago. Another surprise is how little is different. Seems like Oly is just trying to capitalize as much as possible from Panasonic's problems supplying GF1 units to the buying public.

I salute you, Mr. "Blasting, Pat Benatar's 'Love Is A Battlefield' From Your Camaro." No one can tell you you're wrong.
As a show of solidarity, I am officially boycotting LL Bean and lobster.
SF Rejects Billboards, Approves 4 Other Measures - cbs5.com - http://cbs5.com/politic...
Looks like Proposition D, thankfully, is going to fail. The main rationale for it seemed to be "nothing else has worked...might as well try this," which is a stupidly low bar to clear. Thankfully people saw past the bullshit candy that was being purveyed by the special interest behind the proposition.
