  1. On a lighter note, Anthony's Cookies is hiring: http://sfbay.craigslist.org... (via @aprilini; and @LauraGlu is crazy)
  2. Argh... this is so frustratingly ugly and not interactive: http://cohort11.americanobs...
  3. @frederickken Hell yeah. I could imagine rendering maps of existing suburbs that might look just like this in 20 years. Bleak, but awesome.
  4. Speakeasy DSL sucks. Paying for 3mb down, but their own "speed test" tells me it's more like 167k... and 700ms pings to my own gateway. WTF?
  5. Cabspotting is back up and running: http://cabspotting.org Turns out Yellow Cab was replacing all of their GPS transponders. Fascinating!
  6. Did you notice that Cabspotting wasn't working? Neither did we. 6 months later... http://content.stamen.com/t...
  7. Sometimes I put little faces in my code by wrapping single-underscore string literals in unnecessary parentheses. ('_')
  8. Are there any small advertising agencies in the Mission interested in working with @mlnow? (Are there even any in the Mission, period?)
  9. This feels like a fuzzy slippers kind of day.
  10. @leilanachawati No, I'm just one of the little grandpas at @stamen. :)
  11. Hell yeah. Green Apple Books is donating 100% of the profits from Sarah Palin's book to the Alaska Wildlife Alliance: http://bit.ly/14xdlX
  12. @eoi refers to @stamen as "los 'abuelitos' de la visualización." Me encanta.
  13. Awesome. SFCTA released an iPhone app for cyclists to voluntarily track routes for use in their planning models: http://bit.ly/1USvj8
  14. "I am the bringer of darkness." - @RandomEtc, as he drew the blinds in our office.
  15. It's a shame that Mapumental (for which we built the map/UI) still hasn't launched, but @steiny's video about it rocks: http://bit.ly/4uKUJg
  16. SF Crimespotting, now with Alcohol and Prostitution: http://bit.ly/3LTgUH (Thanks, @datasf!)
  17. Chris Jordan documents the unfathomable amount of plastic ingested by albatross chicks on the remote Midway Atoll: http://bit.ly/4pqKSi
  18. @waymellow I don't think so. This one looks much younger.
  19. A woman with purple hair, clad in purple clothes, is perched on a purple cushion at the 16th & Mission @SFBART station, writing on herself.
  20. I'm really surprised at the number of people I see riding bikes down Mission from my new office window. Don't they know about Valencia?
