Futility
“Armed with a tree branch, a villager tries to beat an arson wildfire into submission in Galicia, Spain.” Reuters could not confirm rumours that the villager was named Quixote.

Saturday Afternoon on the Banks of the Rock River
Even if you know hardly anything about art, I can practically gurantee you that you’ve seen Georges Seurat‘s Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Some enterprising folks in Beloit decided to duplicate the setting on the Rock River. The results are amazing!
I thought I’d start making soap posts last week, but the people who run my apartment building called me and said they’d like me to move soon (I’m staying in this building but moving to a slightly bigger place), so that’s been taking up all my free time. Rest assured, my special brand of soapy fun will soon grace these pages. Or something.

In Which Adam Is Horribly Arch
I’m somewhat proud of my most recent post on MBSF. It probably won’t get me any friends in SF’s public-works department, but I think it’s kinda funny. Have a look.
Soap posts begin this week!

Metroblogging updates
I’ve added a little Javascript widget to the sidebar with my five most recent Metroblogging San Francisco posts. I’ve been putting a lot of content up there, so if you want to keep up with my stuff, you might want to add it to your RSS.
I’m particularly proud of how this picture of the sandwich I had at Café du Soleil came out. Doesn’t it look good enough to eat?

David Bradbury HÃ…ning
I saw the sign on the right a few days ago downtown, kinda east of Fisherman’s Wharf, and thought it was worthy of a picture, but not much else. (There was another sign nearby as well.) Apparently, though, this dude’s starting to hit the big time, if a Wikipedia entry and a post on SFIst can be regarded as “big time.” He and Frank Chu should release a split 7″ or something.

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.

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.

Gifuto Shoppu
Do you speak katakana?
(“Gifuto Shoppu” is “gift shop” written in Roman characters but subject to Japanese phonetic restraints.)

Necessary adjuncts to studying
I don’t know whose stuff this is, but they’ve got a nice little study party set up here. (Hint: read the note for the blue bottle on the table.)
