Do you like taking pics of bitchin' street art? Or people? Or anything that fancies your eye? Then, please, join Flickr and a group of local photos for the Mission Street Art Photowalk this Saturday. You don't have to be a professional or even a noted dabbler in the photographic arts. Hell, you can you your cellphone's camera for all they care. They're just that cool. They've even organized speakers along the walk to talk about the history of street art in the area. Best of all, at the end of the walk, you will head to a bar "where photojojo has sponsored an awesome photo competition where you can win some great photo gear." more ›

Grandparents from across the Bay Area gathered in Justin Herman Plaza on Saturday to protest the national debt, President Barack Obama, and fashion élan. Members danced to music, applauded vitriolic speeches, and waved "NObama 2012" foam fingers in the air like they just didn't care. Yes, a good time was had by all. Your SFist editor stayed ever so briefly to soak up the sun and the disturbing anti-freedom of religion sentiment for as long as he could, but almost had a seizure due to overwhelming red, white and blue attires. (We took cover at the Ferry Building for some food and wine at Slanted Door.) Here are some photos from the Saturday's scene, snapped by Erik Wilson. Enjoy. more ›

For a long time, I was one of those parents who posted adorable pictures and videos of my precious offspring on Facebook. On almost a daily basis, in fact. Since my entire extended family lives out of state and out of the country, it was an easy way to keep everyone in the loop. These postings were always a hit, of course. Relatives and people outside my family were liking and commenting on a regular basis. (I'm not friends with many proud kid-haters.) But then, when I realized I was becoming obsessed with the validation and, at the same time, exposing my children to people who do not deserve to have access to them, I developed a serious case of Facebook Fatigue, and immediately deactivated my account. After 24 hours of withdrawal and worry that I could miss seeing the first baby pictures from girlfriends who were about to pop, I logged back in and changed all of the security settings on my pictures (not an easy feat, mind you). And now, I no longer post pictures of my kids on Facebook. more ›

Did you know the new Dolores Park playground is open? Aye. And you simply must drag your snot-covered little blessing(s) to the city's favorite park to check it out. It's got everything: slides, sand, rubber safety thingamajigs, poles, a bridge, swings, and... ok, not everything. But still, it's got all you and your kids will need for a smashing day at Dolores Park. Get it while it's fresh, new, and not desecrated with PBR and fornication. more ›

Here's one thing we like about April Fool's Day, the lamest day of the year: the St. Stupid's Day Parade. On Sunday, the 32th annual St. Stupid's Day festivities went down at Joe DiMaggio playground in North Beach. And what festivities they were. People came dressed up in their most colorful and stupid attire. Don't believe us? See for yourself. more ›

Forget Shitter. Dragon Lovers Camera is the app you really need. In fact, it might be the only app you'll ever need. Why? Because: dragons! more ›

Until then, feast your pupils on this mighty sandwich that boasts drippy Ghirardelli Chocolate and pillow-sized marshmallows. You're welcome. more ›

A perturbed frenchman, caught peeing in his garden by Google's popular Street View feature, is suing the company for humiliation and invasion of privacy. The photo, posted online, has reportedly made him the laughing stock of his tiny village. "My client lives in a tiny hamlet where everyone recognized him," said lawyer Jean-Noel Bouillaud, client of the urinating man who has asked to remain anonymous, adding that the image was snapped while the man was on "his own property and the gate to his garden was closed at the time the photo was taken." more ›

Facebook just doesn't know how to get over you, it seems. Three years after tech sites called out the social network for keeping copies of deleted photos on their servers, Facebook is still having a hard time permanently deleting all the old photos its users trashed in the sober light of day. Facebook originally claimed that an old photo management system wasn't properly clearing out the deleted photography, and that they've been working to improve it, but according to Ars Technica's follow-up report today photos deleted as many as three years ago could still be floating around the back corners of the Internet. more ›

SFist is beginning a new series in which Bay Area natives and long-time residents can share their stories from bygone eras. Our inaugural story comes from Bev DeBeaumont Warnecke, who worked at Baruh Wholesale Liquors in the late '50s, a job that gained her a unique view into the social lives of elite Bay Area business owners. Take it away, Bev! Warning: The last photo in the gallery is not suitable for work (NSFW). more ›

We were walking along Duboce Avenue this afternoon and came upon this charmingly indiscernible and weathered hand-written sign. At the time we assumed it said something along the lines of "curb your dog." (Cue image of a dog strategically lifting its leg over the plants.) After several minutes of examination, we finally cracked the code. (Next stop, CIA, for us!) more ›
