Here's an enjoyable thing: a 1/1000th scale model of San Francisco's most well-loved, peak-topping TV tower. This adorable wooden version of the once hated landmark is cut from 1/8th inch plywood using fancy high powered lasers, which just sounds high tech. Also: it would look nice on a desk. more ›

This photo comes to us via SF Citizen, along with the missive, "You know that Autumn has come to San Francisco when you see a crescent moon inside of the nine red stars that make up the Sutro Constellation." OK, laugh if you want, but despite the blog's linking to a post about the Sutro Tower, we still didn't get it and spent five minutes searching around to see if there was such a constellation, and wondering how you could get a photo of nine red stars without touching it up.

We ranted about the City's lack of any free access to NBC months ago, but it looks like KNTV might finally be nearing the completion of that tower they've been promising us for years. If that's true, cable-less and dish-less viewers will be able to change that dial old-school style to channel 11 and bask in the glow of the Technicolor Peacock once again, maybe as soon as next week. more ›

Surely you're just dying to know something, right? So what is it? Where to get glass cut?  What to do about that ex who keeps stalking you?  Why the Sutro Tower is red and white and not plaid? Who sings that song that's stuck in your head?  How best to mate with attractive members of the opposite sex while hanging upside down from a lamppost?
