Bay Area Blog Pulse

Eric Rice posts the transcript of Lawrence Lessig's recent chat in Second Life, which could just be the most meta-geek thing ever. Niall Kennedy, Caterina Fake and Josh Kinberg build an ego-bot for bloggers, Whuffie Tracker, in just a few hours. Sex.com sells for $14 million -- after the legal fees, there might just be enough to take the family to In-N-Out. And wondered why that new Apple ad looked like an old Postal Service video? Same directors.

Matt Haughey at MetaFilter finds a cool new site about The City's 1906 Earthquake and fire. Thomas Hawk sneaks some verboten pics of the On the Road manuscript at the SF Public Library. Giantmonster is frustrated in their attempts to purchase Burning Man tix. And remember our item from last week about cell phone records? Well, somebody in the senate finally got off their ass.

Yet another reason to hate Muni -- they're killing San Franciscans faster than the Weather Underground. Courtney, the Evil Signtist, crushes on street art by Fadedz. Like WULAD, we wonder if it's okay to call people names every other week of the year at this middle school? And we're surprised that Molly Go Lightly wasn't arrested by the fashion police before she even made it to a bad sweater party.
