I got on the bus this morning and it was raining and everyone seemed to be silent and miserable. A few stops later a couple of teachers came on with about 12-15 kids all under 4 or 5 years old. Suddenly the whole mood of the bus changed. They are laughing and smiling and talking… Read more »

As I was riding the bus home tonight there was a crowd gathered at an intersection in lower haight. When we got closer I realized that one guy was covered in creme pie and his friends were handing out creme pies to anyone who wanted a swing. My guess is that he lost a bet,… Read more »

I’m really starting to think this would be a great idea for me. With the availability of all sorts of crappy information, people are starting to feel like they need to consume more information. I’m on a boycott. 4Hourworkweek – Timothy Ferriss

at 9:10 am | blabbing.

Has anyone noticed that the whole damn city is full of flies? gnats? Little tiny buggers? Is it some sort of invasion? Will they all come together to form one super fly and enslave the masses? If it ran for office would it be considered a third party candidate? It has gotten so bad at… Read more »
