the view up here

this is a nice visual detour

it's a collection of 100 photos taken of various places around the world. The uniting factor: they're all from inside of a passenger airplane. I think we've all been here before and probably even took a pic or two. But it's stunning to see the variety as you scroll through the stream.

Hsin-Yao Tseng

this san francisco artist is incredible

I don't know how he manages to capture the exact feeling of what you see (and feel) in San Francisco, but he does. These paintings will make the heart ache of anyone who has ever lived in the Bay.

Pictobrowser, obviously a flickr genius, created this widget below. It allows you to create a quick browser from your flickr sets, groups, or tags. This is a set called "my neighborhood".

Year of the Pig

Jenna & Chris were generous enough to give me a front row ticket to this year's Chinese New Year Parade. Amazing. I thought I'd share with a quick video here, but I have to admit, the moment of the night wasn't caught on film. Gavin Newsom, now our slightly infamous SF Mayor, was strolling by and Chris & Jenna put him on the spot for a handshake.
