We've been talking so much about the Chronicle and the SF Weekly lately that perhaps one of our best-known local pubs is feeling a bit ignored. Editor & Publisher Magazine has published a feature spotlighting "10 That Do It Right." E&P selects a new list every summer from the nation's daily and weekly newspapers. E&P says it's not a "Top 10" list, but rather "a hat tip to a variety of publications which have, through excellence or innovation, shown the way in one area or another, such as news coverage, circulation, design, diversity or online."...

We're not just announcing today's live Perplex City event, we're also one of the destinations on the citywide scavenger hunt. Solvers today will find some puzzle that brings them here, and the ultimate answer to that puzzle is given by this clue: "Find a radio. Tune it to the Fahrenheit equivalent of 36.28 Celsius. If the station you're listening to owned a cat, what would be the cat's name?" We've turned off the comments for......

Thanks to the voting efforts of our wonderful readers, SFist's Editors will be going to the San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of the Bay party at Club Six this Wednesday. We have to go through this curiously arcane RSVP process (no simple Evite for the Guardian!) to go to an earlier part of the shindig for "The Winners" (the real people start arriving at 9, you should totally go). We got a nice acknowledgement that......

Yesterday, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request on behalf of local students groups at Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz to see just why the Penagon was spying on them. Joining them in the law suit was our very own San Francisco Bay Guardian, going after more dragons to slay besides PG&E and Craig, as well as Quaker organizations. Yeah, Quakers. Why do Quakers hate America? Is it all that pacifism, tolerance, and yummy cereal? ...

We haven't read the bios of every candidate for the Board of Supervisors (hell, there are twenty-two of them in District Five alone and we have a lot of other things to do - like studying all the propositions) but we are pretty sure that only one can claim to being an ex-yoga teacher. Or a sitcom writer. And that candidate would be David Pascal of District 2. His resume so far includes running the......

Pigeons - with their penchant for cooing, darting, eating garbage, and soiling cars and innocent passersby-may comprise the biggest bird population in the City, but they aren't the only avian species around. The most famous are the wild parrots, which have been extensively documented by local birder Mark Bittner on his website and in his recently published book The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. (A handy tip: The red-headed parrots are the Telegraph Hill mob; the other flock, which are mostly green with a white patch on the wing, hang out around Dolores Park.)...
