San Francisco Spring: The Raw & the Cultivated
Spring has arrived in San Francisco, an explosion of color interrupted at times by rainstorms and gray skies. This slideshow is a celebration of both sides of spring: pre-storm clouds along the rugged, expansive coastline and the bright, sunlit flowers of the Strybing Arboretum and the Japanese Tea Garden. The Tea Garden may, to most San Franciscans, be a place for tourists, but I love it there; even when crowded with visitors, it manages to offer a sense of seclusion, a communion with blossoms and beauty–a welcome respite from days filled with buses and busy streets.

Budget-conscious Bliss: The Sweet-tooths take San Francisco

To no surprise, the news left Muni riders feeling frustrated and disappointed, and the announcement was particularly aggravating to the thousands of citizens who participated last year in Muni’s “Transit Effectiveness Project” (TEP), a year-long examination of Muni service that included rider input in making San Francisco’s public transit system more efficient, effective, and comfortable for everyone who uses it.

Jobless 2.0: LaidOffCamp is a working vacation for the unemployed
LaidOffCamp, an “unconference” for the unemployed, the underemployed, and the “I’m employed, but there’s gotta be something better out there,” was launched by Chris Hutchins, who put the event together in a matter of weeks and in doing so managed to assemble a gathering of smart, interesting, skilled people who brought a life and an energy to the day that made joblessness feel almost fun.
