This gidget gazmo bunny rabbit is exactly the kind of web 2.0 meets techno nerd product that has us closer than ever to having our everyday lives mirror one of my favorite cartoons growing up (I still want one of those shower/dress me machines). I am not normally excessively gadget-centric… but am real tempted to have one of these not so furry bunny rabbits on my desk at work.
Things this Raver Rabbit does:
Wi-Fi enabled so it gathers information from around the Internet and reads it for you (who really has time to read any more?)
It reads the latest headlines every 20 minutes (You blog junkies can get your dose every 20!).
Has a microphone on its navel so you can talk to your rabbit (“Rabbit, it’s turning me on to be so close to your groin.”)
Send voice messages to other Nabaztag owners by speaking into its navel (“hello, can you hear me? I’m talking in my rabbits’ navel and he’s been a bit gassy today”).
Easily streams music or plays podcasts you find on the Web for an unlimited time (UNLIMITED!).
Has an audio output on his back so you can connect headphones or speakers (talk in his belly and cast out his back–hot!).
If you happen to own an iDog, you can plug him into Nabaztag so he too can read messages or play music (damn, i only have an iPhone, I guess I know what I’m gettin’ for Festivus)
Nabaztag can “sniff” objects. The new Nabaztag has an RFID tag reader in his nose, so he can recognize objects embedded with NabZtamps stickers (what the hell is a NabZtamps sticker and do I really want him “sniffin’ ” anything?)
The little genius speaks 16 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese and English.
The bunny costs anywhere between $99-$179 (depending on the version).
Two unit building – each unit is approximately 1650 square feet and consists of 2+ bedrooms, 1 bath, large living room, big kitchens and tons of 1920 detailing. Add 2+ car garage with additional storage and a shared back yard and the building sits on a quiet block in the Richmond district within walking distance of a ton of amenities.
Upper unit is vacant- full disclosure: an elderly man died of natural causes in the space.
Lower unit is rented for $1200.00 a month on a month-to-month basis; the tenant has yet to respond so we don’t know if they are protected.
Yo–San Francisco, put your doobie down and lets get off your our high horse; we’re not the only San Francisco in the world building new condo’s. The architects at Bettis Tarazi are pumpin’ new buildings into the San Francisco, Panama topography too! It seems that San Francisco, Panama has its very own “Infinity” (built in 2004, image above/right) and the soon to be “Moon Tower” (image above/left, video below) which looks a lot like our very own, BLU.
Boxers… Briefs… or… have you made the switch? Wait back up… I’m getting ahead of myself. First of all, are you old school– and wear briefs… or do you like to roll a bit more loosie-goosie– and wear boxers?
I have been wearing boxers from the time I was about 13 years old. My parents never introduced them to me (my dad still wears plain ol’ tightie whities), but I some how discovered the freedom that came with boxers.
That was a great underwear era in my life.
But now I have made the switch… Hell no I haven’t switched back to briefs! Instead, I have gone the route of the undergarment compromise. The security of briefs combined with the leg length and shape of boxers…
…Boxer-Briefs.
I made the switch about six months ago, and after a “brief” uncomfortable transition, I am thrilled with the change. I feel more solid in my boxer-briefs than I ever did in my boxers. It isn’t just for functional purposes either… the special ladies and/or men in your life will think you look hot in your new look underwear.
If you haven’t tried boxer-briefs yet… give ‘em a shot! Let me know how it goes.
The Tunnel Top: Don’t go here stone cold sober. Go after a few beers and wander upstairs to snag one of the coveted sofa seats. After you’ve made yourself cozy, make your friends battle the bar downstairs and buy you drinks while you get down to some old skool hip hop. They pour them strong and the next thing you know, you may be grinding between Old Man River and a SF State student. This is a true dive bar because anyone and everyone can be found here, including me.

“Ms. Tsukioka, a 29-year-old experimental fashion designer, lifted a flap on her skirt to reveal a large sheet of cloth printed in bright red with a soft drink logo partly visible. By holding the sheet open and stepping to the side of the road, she showed how a woman walking alone could elude pursuers — by disguising herself as a vending machine.
The wearer hides behind the sheet, printed with an actual-size photo of a vending machine. Ms. Tsukioka’s clothing is still in development, but she already has several versions, including one that unfolds from a kimono and a deluxe model with four sides for more complete camouflaging.”

Foreign Cinema :Mission
Good for brunch, outdoor seating, dinner plus movie
A real gem. Beautiful and dramatic outdoor area for dining. The dishes are divine, the presentation creative and tasteful. I definitely recommend sitting outside to get the full experience. This is also a fantastic place to take out-of-towner’s.
Fringale: SoMa
Dinner, cozy, authentic real French cuisine.
When you walk in, you’ll be greeted by French servers or ignored completely, but once you get noticed and take a seat in this warm and intimate establishment, you will feel right at home. The food will melt in your mouth-rich, but wholesome and fresh. The mussels and fries are a must.
