san francisco: Bay to Breakers: The Biggest Foot Race/Mobile Party in the World
- 05/21/07 09:08 AM
Yesterday, an estimated 60,000 people and I participated in the 96th annual Bay to Breakers foot race. The 7.46 mile race started in 1912 as an event to lift the spirits of the city after the disastrous 1906 earthquake. What separates this race from others is that it doubles as San Francisco's biggest and most mobile street party. Many of the racers get dressed up in elaborate costumes and although alcohol and nudity aren't technically allowed, it wasn't hard to find either along the race path. We ended up having a blast. The weather was perfect and the crowd … (0 comments)
san francisco: My Team Was Internet Famous Once
- 05/10/07 12:33 PM
My fellow team member Kale Inoue and I just got back from an appointment with potential clients Justin Kan and Amanda Huffman. While the showing didn't go as planned (the leasing agent didn't show and wouldn't answer her phone); what made the appointment special is that it was being streamed live on the internet on Justin.tv You may have read my earlier post about Justin and his roommates getting evicted from their North Beach apartment. As soon as I heard, we got in touch with Justin and started working with them to find somewhere to move and where they could … (2 comments)

Hey WordPress fanatics, the second annual WordPress community gathering, WordCamp 2007 is scheduled for July 21-23 in San Francisco's Swedish American Hall. Thanks to Dustin Luther, who gave me the heads up, I had the chance to attend last year's gathering where we were treated to a "State of the Word" address by founding developer Matt Mullenweg before breaking into different sessions. I sat in as Neil Patel of ProNet advertising lead a session on Wordpress & SEO and then checked out Tantek Celik's session on microformats. It ended up being a great experience and I made some great connections … (3 comments)
san francisco: Will Justin.tv Get Evicted 2.0?
- 04/27/07 08:36 AM
Justin Kan, the man behind Justin.tv is in danger of being evicted from his San Francisco apartment. In case you're unfamiliar with what he's doing, Justin is wearing a camera and broadcasting his life 24/7. He wears it EVERYWHERE, even in the bathroom, even on a date. Why are they getting evicted? They claim that they have no clue. In San Francisco, rent controlled tenants (most tenants) can only be evicted for certain "just causes." Is there just cause to evict Justin and his roommates? We'll have to tune in and see. Maybe someone from our team will make an appearance since … (1 comments)
