Urban Golfers
Greg called me on Friday wondering if we could do a photo shoot around the city the next day. Unfortunately, we had to make it a midday shoot (worst time for photography). We spent 2 hours fighting the clock and the light, but were able to tee off under the Golden Gate, stop traffic on Lombard, make friends in Dolores Park, and enjoy beers on Haight Street. Thanks to Greg, Kieran, John, and James for a fun day!

Photos from Iran
I wanted to share this link of photos from the last day or so in Iran:

With foreign correspondents "politely asked to leave" and local media silenced, Twitter and YouTube have become the best source for updates from Iran. Today, Twitter agreed to postpone maintenance scheduled for tonight, recognizing the key role it is playing in this revolution.

Prelinger Library
What are you looking for?
DIY magazines from the 60s? A century's worth of maps of California? Old cigarette ads? The history of candy? How about a 1950s book on puberty?
Whether you come armed with a bizarre research topic or just want to peruse, the Prelinger Library in SOMA is worth a visit. Celebrating its 5th anniversary this week, the private library was founded by Rick Prelinger and Megan Shaw Prelinger and houses over 40,000 books, periodicals, government documents, and ephemera.
Strengths include North American landscape (cultural geography, travel and tourism, car culture), housing and city planning, advertising and consumerism, and media and technology. It also has a vast collection of government documents, maps, and historical text books.
The Prelinger promotes browsing and serendipitous discovery, but also has over 3,000 ebooks and visitors are encouraged to take copies home on their USB Drives.
The Prelinger Library is located at 301 8th Street, just south of Folsom Street. Drop in Wednesdays from 1pm to 8pm, or call for another time. More info here: Prelinger Library.

Artillery
Spotlight on a brand new shop on Mission StreetA giant green bird stands watch outside the newest addition to the 2700 block of Mission Street. Artillery A.G. is intended to be a haven for local artists - a place where their product can meet consumer.
The shop has everything from hand-designed T-shirts to octopus-cast earrings and provides a bit of gallery space as well.
Co-owner Ivan Lopez works on one of his many unique designs at an easel by the door while browsers roam.
Hipsters shoppers on Valencia Street: hop over a block for this one-of-a-kind apparel and art made by local painters, graphic designers, and jewelers.
For more info about the store and their upcoming art shows, or to submit your own work, visit: Artillery A.G.
