This week's installment: Bus comfort, back door hard-ons, and -- surprise! -- no official MUNI policy. When do you decide to make an effort to try and affect things on the bus (telling people to move back or making a fuss if people try and enter through the back door). And if you don't do one of those things, why not? This sort of thing lives in the Land of Personal Preference; there's no......

It's been five years since SF Camerawork, a non-profit dedicated to photography and digital media, had its own gallery.

SF Camerawork has moved back to its old hood, and is celebrating its new location at 657 Mission St. (at 3rd) with a Grand Opening party from 5-9pm. Check out the inaugural exhibition at the new gallery, Ghosts in the Machine,......

Submissions go to yvesdroppings at gmail dot com. A normal-dressed girl, speaking to a man dressed as an Imperial Officer (who was eating a burger and fries): "Yeah, I got here late.

If you wanted to know the latest gossip in the SF restaurant scene, you wouldn't come here. Not yet: we are convinced we will start receiving FAT JUICY TIPS --just any second now-- about which new place is about to open, and which chefs are about to switch kitchens. No, you would go check out the Inside Scoop. So we were disappointed to see that GraceAnn Walden, who penned the column for fourteen years, had......

Yesterday on Slashdot was a review of local NYT tech correspondent John Markoff's new book, "What The Dormouse Said: How the 60s Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry." Quoting the review: Most histories of the personal computer begin with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Apple in 1976, but while hanging out at SAIL in the mid 1970s, and at the First West Coast Computer Faire in 1977, I heard highly attenuated versions of the......

Well, when we suggested that Sophie start a blog to help counter some of the diatribes by critics in her constituency, we were only partly joking. Sure, we were jealous that our friends in District Six have a blogging supe, and we don't. But really, we tend to like Supervisor Maxwell, being the child of activists ourselves.

In response to charges of misconduct brought on by details of the investigation leaking, , the court leaked documents on Friday detailing an interview Federal Agents had with Barry Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson ("Barry Bonds' Personal Trainer Gary Anderson", of course, pretty much being his new name). In the report, Anderson named several Giants' players......

Previously on Proposition It, we learned how Proposition 65 begat Proposition 1A, how Prop 60 begat Prop 60A and Prop. 62. We also learned that there’s a really cranky lawyer in Mountain View. In today’s installment, we take on frivolous lawsuits, unique tax schemes, and hi-tech gadgetry. Not to mention those crazy Indian Gambling bills. As Lionel Richie would say “Karamu, fiesta, forever/Come on and sing along." Proposition 63- Mental Health Services Expansion, Funding. Tax......
