Remember mid-June, when we posted video of a driver pulling over and wandering into Walgreen's to do some errands? There's new news to report! Well, actually, there isn't -- Muni has just officially admitted that they failed to capture any data relating the to incident.

So many recalls afoot these days, we're starting a new column! Today's recall news: a reader passed along these pictures of today's rather-sparsely attended Recall Peskin rally on the steps of City Hall. Looks like they got about a quarter of the 40 folks who signed the Peskin recall petition in the first place -- and it looks like we're the only people who even have news of the event up anywhere online.

SFist has a late breaking story today about a secret cabal of people who just might be trying to ruin our city. Who are these people? We don't know. We do know that they walk amongst us and hide their true identities. Some of these people you might see at Safeway. Some of these people you might see walking down the street. Some of these people might EVEN BE WORKING WITH YOU! Be afraid, be very afraid. Who are these people? Posters on SFWall.net

The Associated Press reports that the City's secret-until-today five member WiFi panel has spoken, and that they have "identified the search leader and EarthLink Inc. as the best candidates" for the long-discussed plan to bring WiFi access to all of San Francisco.

Kimo Crossman over at Webnetic tipped us to the release of the new, final request for proposals from The City on the citywide wireless initiative. Strangely, just last week the Local Agency Formation Committee (LAFCo) was asking to study the issue more before the Department of Telecommunications Infrastructure and Services (DTIS) issued the RFP. In other words, the mayor's office seems to be turning a deaf ear to recent public hearings on citywide Wifi, though they'll probably hold another splashy press conference or three.

Patrick Rodriguez makes an argument for saving Stan "Tookie" Williams -- those Berkeley Republicans are always throwing curveballs. Sasha over at Left in SF wonders if the Residential Builders Association and the Bay Guardian can ever get along. Kimo Crossman at Webnetic points out why you should care about the SF citywide wifi process, and suggests you drop by the Board of Supervisors to argue for more public involvement. And MuniWireless posts the MetroFi contract for the recent hotspots downtown.
