Snow in San Francisco
It snowed in San Francisco earlier this week. SFist reprinted a quote from the Chronicle that sums it up nicely:
While snow falls in flakes and looks more like small ice shavings, hail is balls of ice, usually small. If the trees are white, [National Weather Service meteorologist Brooke] Bingaman said, it’s probably snow.
Yes, they needed to print a definition of snow.
California is pretty nifty.

And the award for Most Useless News Alert goes to . . .
. . . CNN, for this pearl of wisdom that just showed up in my inbox:
A long running dispute that threatened to shut down the BlackBerry wireless e-mail service has been settled.
How has it been settled? In whose favor? By what means? Is the settlement confidential? I understand that organizations distributing breaking news need to strike a balance between speed and precision/accuracy (the friend who first informed me of the 9/11 attacks described them as a “bombing,” which was only correct in a highly technical sense), but I think some delay was clearly warranted here.

Is Apple on its way downhill?
Any company that thinks “pirate” rhymes with “ran great” worries me a little.
That said, I seriously can’t see an outfit like Oracle including little poems in their products. And if it’s not fun, then why bother with computing at all?

Buddy Rich beats seven circles of Hell out of a drum set
Link. Afterwards, the snare drum confessed to killing both JFK and Jimmy Hoffa, and then Buddy ranted for a minute, and the hi-hat copped to being D. B. Cooper.

California driver’s license under UV
Because I’m a huge dork, I hold official documents under a blacklight shortly after I get them to check for fluorescent indicia. (Because I’m a huger dork, I use words like “indicia.”) A state flag on a driver’s license is no great shakes, but I only know of one place that gets the colors right.

Ukiah, Sonoma, Come On Pretty Mama
Lore brings yet more wit to the table with the best post title I’ve seen all week. I have this weird urge to parody “Kokomo” with a North Coast theme now.

This looks like a good place to put up a sticker.
Yes. Yes it does.

Cocktail list at Applebee’s
This is from an Applebee’s my family went to when we were in South Dakota visiting relatives over Christmas. Apparently Applebee’s has a very lenient definition of “cocktail,” as a “Brewtus” seems to consist of nothing more than a draft beer, without so much as a garnish to distinguish it.
