Let's get right to the question for it is most pressing, shall we? An SFist reader asks: When should you give up your college email address? I see this from friends who graduated years ago, and it's annoying. Agreed.

If you saw a bunch of officials rushing home to check their mailboxes yesterday, it's because yesterday was the day the results of a city survey was released. And the verdict? In most cases, San Francisco is just pretty much average, averaging a C. That's not going to get us into an Ivy League school . ...

From the Usual Suspects, we found a link to a story about Doughgate (we like that one) in the Yale Daily News. As you might as well imagine, it's a big story over there.

What's a hottie with a body, a good personality and an ivy league education have to do to find a husband these days? Well, if you're an Iranian-American Jew (or really any Americanized member of an immigrant group), the answer is plenty. Love Iranian-American Style (Ed note: we'd link to the film itself, but the SFJFF site won't let us. We hate that!) played at the 26th Annual San Francisco Jewish Film Festival on Saturday......

So many people to thank! If we forget you, rest assured that a warm, fuzzy thanks is in our hearts. First, we'd like to thank our contributors, without whom this site would be just another anonymous pet blog project, devoid of people in bunny suits and Chris Daly anecdotes.
