water and electricity and twitter

in preparing to leave san francisco (yet again!) for a (hopefully) brief jaunt in new england, i got to thinking about our fair city and the wonderful community i’ve enjoyed since moving here (yet again!) last summer.

jeannie choe sums it up pretty nicely in her write up on core77 of the a panel that my good friend amit appeared on at the 2008 psfk conference:

“Then there’s this phenomenon of community where people here can’t seem to get enough of each other and build tools to stay together online and in (real not Second) life to ensure their connectedness. “There’s water and electricity and Twitter,” chuckled wise guy Jeremy Townsend (Ghetto Gourmet), as he pointed out how Bay Area residents treat access to communication and collaboration as a vital utility.”

(i’m kicking myself for missing this.)

tainted tomatoes

You can’t eat tomatoes because they’re tainted with deadly salmonella. First there was tainted lettuce. Now, tainted tomatoes. Who would have thought that the healthiest part of a B.L.T. would be the bacon? - David Letterman
