ProtectMarriage.com is sending out tons of Google AdWords ads everywhere in order to make people vote yes on Prop 8.  This will definitely make all the hard-work done by San Franciscan gay people to make marriage legal.

Of course, there are some points like that people would get married just to get some tax cuts but I think that’s beside the point of giving freedom to everyone regardless of race, sex, religion, and sexual-orientation.

Even as a straight person, I think it’s wrong that people of America would decide the fate of San Franciscans and other gay Californians who should have the right to marriage regardless of sexual orientation.

Anyways, vote NO on Prop 8, it sounds like bunch of bullshit to me.  They should really rename the site to “KillGayPeople.com”.  What a bunch of bs.

Well, I have a plan for this Halloween, actually on the Saturday night from 9PM to 4AM at ETD. Fright in Richmond, CA.  It’s a Halloween Party hosted by famous trance DJ Paul Van Dyk.  If anyone’s a crazy trance-addict, you gotta go to this party(uh hum…rave).

Here’s a YouTube of DJ Paul Van Dyk’s music.  If you are in the SF Bay Area, you should definitely “did” go. :)

One of the things you won’t notice (or notice if you just moved here) is the noise in San Francisco from Ambulances, cars, etc…etc…

Although I have gotten used to it, I guess it could be fatal for your health if you live in highly-populated downtown areas.

My suggestion, move nearer to the ocean like I did, near the Sunset district where Ocean wave sounds are more common.

Traffic noise is loudest in the South of Market area but affects the most people in the densely populated Chinatown, Civic Center and Tenderloin neighborhoods.

“Traffic,” Rivard noted, “is the No. 1 contributor to the ambient noise level” in San Francisco.

But the constant hum from congestion is just one of many sounds that environmental health researchers find troubling. They’re also concerned about racket from such sources as sirens, trains and exhaust fans.

Born on December 25, 1976, in Leiden, Holland, his father was an avid record buyer and Armin became interested in music at an early age.

A 12-year-old girl missing from her home in San Francisco since Saturday has contacted police and appears to be fine, police said Monday.

Dyhemia Young, nicknamed Malaysia, contacted a police inspector Sunday night and is now considered a runaway, said Sgt. Neville Gittens, a police spokesman.

“Hopefully, by the end of the day, we’ll have face-to-face contact,” Gittens said.

Dyhemia, who lives in the Bayview neighborhood, was last seen about 6 p.m. Saturday in the area of Page and Buchanan streets, police said. Police put out an alert Sunday asking for help locating her.

Here, I found some cool pics of Folsom Street Fair which went on today.  Actually, I was driving my motocycle in downtown and saw bunch of crazy people dressed up like this.

I bet most of them were high or on somethin’…. ;)

I swear, San Francisco always hosts the weirdest and the wackiest events in the world, but I like that. :)

Make sure to not miss out on Love Fest next week, I will be there to get a little crazy.

Here’s a bridge that is infamous for people jumping off, mostly suicide cases.

Jump to 2:03 on the video to see a real “splash” of someone who had just jumped off.

Download latest version of Flash to view video!.

A lot of times, people do live the fall but a lot of times, people will die instant death upon landing or get eaten by sharks.

I can see why they made a movie about it but is it that complicated?  You either die or live, it’s your choice but make sure you have tried your best before jumping off.

The footage of Gene’s family and friends lamenting his death and him walking around despondently on the bridge are teased throughout the movie, along with 10 or so other jumpers and family/friends of. The filmmakers also tease you with average hooligans, daredevils and the overly curious too— sort of a “i bet you thought…” gag that isn’t funny. Every 5-10 minutes they toss in someone jumping off to satisfy the viewers appetite.

Meraki has been working on setting up repeaters all over San Francisco to setup free wifi for everyone.

Of course, the project seems to be centered around the Mission district as of now and there’s pretty much none near Sunset and Richmond areas.

You can help spread the free SF Wifi by applying for a free repeater here.

I remember you had to pay like $50 for this before but I guess they are giving them away free to volunteers now.

With the help of volunteers like you, we are building a network with thousands of indoor and outdoor repeaters! Each of these little boxes spreads the network a little further, bringing free Internet access to you and your neighbors. Depending on where you live, you might be able to help us out. And if you can put a repeater outdoors at your place, even better!

Check out Better Streets, which focuses on building better streets for San Francisco.  Above is what Folsom Street would look like trees.  (Take a look at the Street View of current Folsom Street on GoogleMaps here)

As you can see, there’s still a lot of room for improvement for the 2nd greenest city in the United States.

Here’s an excerpt from the About Page:

The Better Streets Plan will create a unified set of standards, guidelines, and implementation strategies to govern how the City designs, builds, and maintains its pedestrian environment.

The Better Streets Plan process brings together staff of multiple City agencies to comprehensively plan for streets. The Plan will seek to balance the needs of all street users, with a particular focus on the pedestrian environment and how streets can be used as public space. The Plan will reflect the understanding that the pedestrian environment is about much more than just transportation – that streets serve a multitude of social, recreational and ecological needs that must be considered when deciding on the most appropriate design.

The Better Streets Plan will carry out the intent of San Francisco’s Better Streets Policy, adopted by the Board of Supervisors on February 6, 2006.
