Whatever happened to Dickipedia?
It seems like the corporate overlords at AOL didn't take kindly to the Huffington Post offshoot. What a bunch of dicks. But if you want to take a look at the Way Back Machine... Dickipedia as it was. Continue reading

Google's hypocrisy on censorship
For the past week, I've been torn about a decision. I would like to post a few photos from the World Naked Bike Ride on Earth Day in San Francisco but I am also cognizant of the fact the Google Adsense takes punitive action against "mature content" -undefined- on sites... Continue reading

Lunch with the Financial Times: Han Han
“I don’t mean we cannot attack the party. Why can’t we attack it? But everybody thinks the evil of the nation is caused by an institution when, in reality, everybody is an accomplice,” he says. “In the near future, it’s impossible to change the institution. So we need to change the people. And if we can change the people, then the party will change.” ... It’s possible, he explains, that the passers-by really didn’t notice Yueyue, who later died. “I believe their explanation, because if you are not careful enough, you may indeed miss the girl lying on the ground.” His point is that, in an uncaring society, misfortune becomes invisible. If some things make him despair, is he also inspired? I wonder what he thought of the villagers of Wukan who last year organised their own elections after protesting against what they said was the illegal seizure of land. “In Wukan’s case, I see the light on the road to China’s future democracy,” he says more emphatically than I had expected. “My view is we can have elections in some cities first.

Out of a curiosity, or perhaps a sheer desire to hear terms like "easement" and "conditional use" after a long hiatus, I popped down to see the proceedings in Room 400 of City Hall today. Walking into San Francisco City Hall for the first time, I couldn't help but get... Continue reading

Unemployment and the Bermuda Triangle
This piece by "Thunder Lutz" caught my eye: "I have been unemployed for the past seven months.
