San Francisco is a city with a limited amount of space to put people. Limited space mixed with high demand means high-ass rents. Word on the street is that SF has the highest rents in the country, beating New York. I believe it. San Francisco is also a land known for the occasional earthquake. The forward-thinking folks at Seismic Solutions are using people's fear of quakes in a beautiful campaign to try and bring rents back down to something a little less, oh apocalyptic. I say, whatever works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...but have no fear, earthquake retrofitting is here.

 

 

I've gotten into this whole Open Source movement lately and as part of my allegiance to the new way, I decided to cruise down to Stanford to check out Eric Raymond give a chat. Eric is the guy who penned "The Cathedral And The Bazaar" which was the impetus for Netscape to make public it's source code for Communicator 5.0. Mozilla.org is the result of this.

So I'm at this incredible party on Saturday night. It's at this swank pad complete with hot tub and this insane urban jungle containing street signs and neon nestled among trees, birds and a little waterfall. Insanity I tell ya! Break dancing in the living room, sex in the hot tub, MC's rhyming. These guys know how to throw down. It was all good.

Ever have a Green Machine when you were a kid? Looks like the 90's model is a bit more tricked out than the old school variety. Civil servant not included.

 

I was a contender! I went up against Mike Tyson on my pay-per-view special and got my little kitty ass whooped. Damn that criminal! I'll get him and his little Don King too! Fight da power!
