Mission Mission

I wonder which half it is. Be a bummer if it smelled like foot.

Last Whiskey Wednesday I was at, I heard two whole people complaining that their drinks had been bussed or stolen or knocked over while they were outside doing something. And I was like, “Hello: drink caddy.” And they were like, “Wha?”

This is the drink caddy, and we’re lucky to have it. Know it, use it.

But how is this enforced? Who makes the call? Definitions of “hipster” seem to waver so!

Somebody was saying something about wanting to share a cab up to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass this weekend. Well, here’s a better idea: This company UberCab wants to give Mission Mission readers a $20 credit if they open an account. You can use that $20 toward a ride in a Benz or an Escalade or one of many other “baller cars” at their disposal, and show up to HSB in style.

Watch a demo video here to see how it all works, and if you decide to try it, put “Mission20″ in the promo field for your special credit.

I don’t know what it is about this Walgreens window ad, but for some reason I don’t really . . . want what they . . . oh, it’s because the parents’ faces are melted off.

Your Parents Could Be This Gross

Maybe they’re advertising those sunglasses from They Live.

Yuck!

My favorite San Francisco stairways are the Filbert steps, the Jupiter steps, the Harry steps and the Detroit Steps. What are yours? Don’t have any? Maybe you need San Francisco Stairways, the new app by Barbara Rockwell.

MIT’s Copenhagen Wheel just took the 2010 James Dyson Award for the US.

Here’s what it is:

• A self-charging motorized rear wheel that fits on existing bicycles
• A trip/traffic planner that syncs with your docked smart phone
• A social networking tool (throwing social networking into everything is the new putting a clock into everything)

See the demo video for more information:

At a projected cost of $600 per wheel, not to mention a big red “steal me” target of a design, I think you’d better get a good cable lock for this sucker if it ever becomes a reality. But from the sound of things, it may be GPS equipped meaning you might be able to track it down if it gets lost.

Go ahead, purists, tell us all about how this is the worst thing to happen to cycling.

Sources say that after he was turned away due to the +1 hour wait, his entourage proceeded to Arinell, the best pizza in the city.
