Latest “Walking in San Francisco” posted

Wednesday, November 24th, 2004

I’ve put up the latest installment in the photoblog (ugh) “Walking in San Francisco” This months photo is taken during the morning commute and shows how cars plow right through the crosswalks (with people in them) when they run the red lights on Market.

This is going to be a worse problem when the new central freeway comes down on Market near Octavia.

Walking in San Francisco

first act of the day

Monday, November 22nd, 2004

was to bike down market street, which was strangely devoid of traffic. thanksgivining. everybody is gone.

second act of the day. spill coffee down front of shirt.

had a good weekend. got a chance to get some dinner w/ friends down in menlo park (perhaps the first time in years) and then went to a house party. got home before midnight. not quite party/hardy, but good enough due to the amount of sleep i (haven’t) been geting the past 2 months.

went to adobe books last night, that’s the bookstore in the mission where they aranged all the books by spine color for a week. very cool effect, if you get a chance to check it out. i might have to do it at home.

tick tock tick tock
time files when you are having fun.

its been a busy couple of months. not much sleep (which i hear this week leads to obesity, i better watch out)

living in San Francisco, people often complain that there aren’t any seasons besides fog / not fog. The biggest difference I see is that when I leave work at night now, it is night. I need my headlamp on my bike in order to make it safely home. I read that the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition gave out a couple thousand blinky lights this week. Good job.

Read that two pedestrians were killed this past week.

The WalkSF quarterly membership meeting was a great sucess. We had 2 sets of speakers and a full conference room of members.
