Mission Mission

Pesco‘s all about Mission bathrooms these days. This one‘s at Ritual Roasters.

Though I regret that we were scooped on this story by Boing Boing, I’m glad the world is starting to appreciate the bevy of interesting things to be found in Mission District bathrooms.

As much as I liked Wes Anderson’s AT&T commercials, I like this Billboard Liberation Front effort even better.

Rotten Neighbor is an intriguing new service that invites users to tell the world about their rotten neighbors. Here, someone near 14th & Guerrero shares some woe:

this little grey minivan and it’s owner are the bane of the existence of everyone on this block. the guy’s entire life revolves around parking and re-parking his van so he doesn’t have to go get a permit. he stands at his window and as soon as he sees you go near your car, either he or one of his dozens of family members living in his building go out and cut across traffic and wait for you to move so he can take your spot. while it was a lot of fun going down to my car 4-5 times a day to “look for my gl*****” or “grab my phone” and see him piscina gonfiabile con scivolo scurrying around getting to his car, the level of annoyance far outweighed any entertainment value.

I like how they censor “glasses” because it contains “asses”. It’s still in beta, to be fair, but how are these posts going to be truly effective if they can’t even say “asses”?

Speaking of Boing Boing, you might recall from a couple months back or something that post about Promachoteuthis sulcus, the squid with human-like teeth. Anyway, the other day we mashed the squid up with the interactive die-cut cover of Johnny Gloryhole’s Gloryholes for Beginners (which somebody we know found at a party at Li Po Lounge).

We’re famous! Xeni from Boing Boing liked that photo in that last post down there so much, she put it in her Flickr favorites. Update: Oh snap, we just blogged on Wenday.

two of these things are not like the others, originally uploaded by ehoyer.

Today we read a Boing Boing post about the release of a new PDF how-to guide to HDR (high dynamic range) photography. Boing Boing recommended checking out the HDR group on Flickr, which we did, but we were disappointed that, of the 40 or so thousand photos in the group’s pool, only a scant few featured our favorite neighborhood, eminently photogenic though it is.

Do be sure to look closely at those windows across the street.
