Good Vibrations celebrates the 13th Annual National Masturbation Month!
Join Good Vibrations, the legendary Bay Area company that takes pride in providing educational materials and accurate information on sexuality and toys for grown-ups, in recognizing the many ways we can pleasure ourselves by celebrating the 13th annual National Masturbation Month this May.
Good Vibrations created National Masturbation Month in 1995, after Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders was fired for saying that masturbation is “perhaps something that should be taught” as part of young peoples’ sexual education. Good Vibes believes that sexual pleasure is a birthright and that masturbation is a powerful source of sexual gratification.
The intention of National Masturbation Month is to raise awareness, and emphasize the importance of masturbation. Of all the kinds of sex people can have, masturbation is the most universal. It helps people learn about their bodies and sexual responses. It’s safe, healthy and most of all, it’s pleasurable!
Today is a Spare The Air day and it is HOT out there! We’ll be saving energy by riding the BART and turning our computer off. So… tune in again tomorrow and stay cool.

Privacy concerns are nothing new when it comes to Google Street View or MapJack, but it becomes a reality when you actually find yourself in one of the images. These two ladies (above) were having a chat on a corner in Emeryville. They look harmless, but what is it exactly that they (or you) do when they get caught on film doing something naughty?

A 25 foot young gray whale was found dead and decomposing under pier 27 in SF yesterday. The Coast Guard is in the works to remove the rotting carcass while workers nearby have been complaining of a foul smell for days.

Yesterday I spent 20 minutes in 695 Arkansas St and here are my impressions:
Am I being picky - you are damn right I am - we’re talking about 3 Million bucks in a neighborhood that has had only one 3M+ sale EVER.
The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection is proposing to increase the fee for 3R (report of residential record) reports from $50 to $161. The proposed increase is part of a comprehensive adjustment of permit and inspection fees designed to better reflect the actual cost of providing services. The current DBI fee schedule was last comprehensively changed in October, 1992—nearly 16 years ago—and, the DBI says, is not current with Bay Area cost-of-living increases.
Consultant analysis of DBI’s fee structure revealed that the department under-recovers its cost by roughly 29 percent, measured in 2007-08 budgeted dollars. As a result, the consultants have proposed the following:

Last March, when 752 Carolina Street came on the market as the highest priced home ever to sell in Potrero Hill, people thought, yah right, who is going to spend $3m in Potrero? 9 days later, the home sold, for at least the sticker price (the final sales price was never disclosed). Has that sale paved the way for other triple-million dollar homes to come on the market in Potrero Hill? It seems so, only this time, the house is on the South Slope of the hill (often times thought of as inferior due to lack of views and proximity to noise and sometimes crime.)
Say hello to the next $3m home in Potrero Hill; 695 Arkansas.
695 Arkansas Street changed hands back in 2001 for $1,900,000. There are no pictures in the MLS from that transaction, so it’s difficult to imagine what the home looked like 7 years ago, but we know now, that it looks pretty sweet. Does it sell for the asking price? Over? Under? Would that location, across the street from the Potrero Hill recreation center concern you?
