While UC Hastings isn’t in the best of neighborhoods, it’s within two blocks of every level of judiciary except the United States Supreme Court, and one of its buildings is a high-rise from which you can easily see all of them.

. . . call for desparate measures. But you would not believe how much more efficient at studying I’ve gotten after I pulled the AirPort card from my laptop.

Every fall, the groundskeepers prune the plane trees on the plaza outside City Hall. It might just be me, but I think the knobby branches the pollarding leaves behind make them look like ghost trees, like something from the graveyard in The Legend of Zelda. (However, no matter how hard I push on them, no ghosts come out to pursue me.) The unseasonably beautiful weather we’ve been getting recently rather spoils the effect, however.

I finally found this picture from my trip to Japan. The phrase “there are no exits” is a slightly inadequate Japanese translation–I’m not sure of exactly what the Japanese text says, but if it’s what I think it is, a closer analog would be “no exits are available.”

Does anybody know what this sticker is? I’ve been seeing it all over San Francisco, but I can’t find too much on the Web, and I have no idea what the kanji mean. (I’ve seen the sticker mentioned in connection with Tokyo, which makes me pretty sure that they’re Japanese.)

The Optimus Keyboard, a design from the Art. Lebedev Studio, is a physical incarnation of the Key Caps desk accessory from the old-style MacOS. (Apparently it’s called Keyboard Viewer now.) Every single key is a 32×32 OLED screen. This would make learning new keyboard interfaces and typing special characters much easier, and it’s a valuable illustration of what can happen when objects document themselves as much as possible. And it’s amazingly cool to boot.

Apparently, somebody thought the street needed a nickname.
