Unsubscribing from Email
I opt-out of 5-10 email lists every week and yet they just keep coming. And coming. And coming… it’s like a bad game of whack-a-mole that you just can’t win.

“The fact of the matter is, I think people would have been happy to have a...”
– New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), quoted by the Philadelphia inquirer, arguing that gay marriage should be decided by voters in a ballot referendum. What an idiot.

Apparent road-rage incident leads to fatal crash
This is perfect nominee for a Darwin Award. Thankfully he only killed himself and no one else. What an idiot. Three lanes of westbound I-80 were closed for more than two hours after the driver of a 1989 Ford Aerostar minivan clipped a pickup in the carpool lane west of Carlson Boulevard around 5:45 a.m., the CHP said. The minivan then crashed into the center divide and flipped a number of ...

“Yeah fat ass… there’s a line!”
– One man in line at Peet’s (no, not me) to another man that mistakenly walked directly up to a cashier. San Francisco would definitely not be mistaken for the “city of brotherly love” today.

SUV cleared from Muni tunnel →
This guy needs to be shot. MUNI has enough issues on its own without some jackass trying to drive a car through the underground. The train I was on this morning was “dropped from the computer” between Van Ness and Civic Center. When that happens the emergency brakes go on sending everyone flying as the train screeches to a halt. The operator had to go into manual mode after that and, when in...

New Year/New Job
Jobs I have applied for this week: 9 (so far) Recruiters/HR leads I’ve hounded this week: 4 (one of which told me I was “an impressive candidate” — yes!) Friends/contacts I’ve politely pestered about possible opportunities with their companies: 5 I am getting a new job in 2012. It is happening. I am going to do what I like for a company that I get excited about....

Man missing for 5 days, found dead in movie... →
If it wasn’t clear to you the last time you used one, this story is proof-positive that they do not clean movie theater bathrooms. Horrifying!

Walking down 17th Street and just passed a woman with a pony, a goat and a screaming pot bellied pig. Just another day in San Francisco…
