The man behind Bluoz—a blog about homelessness, local music from the mid-90s, and San Francisco's bird population—recently had the brilliant idea/was sufficiently bored enough to experiment with a laser pointer and birds. Turns out our SOMA sky rat population falls for the same tricks that dogs and cats fall for, generating an endless series of YouTubes and countless hours of productivity lost.
All that's left to do now is for someone to camp atop of Carlos Club at 24th and Mission with a laser pointer and camera and make the magic happen.

actually, yep, that’s almost about why i got the pointer…it seems fairly effective with crackheads down here..BTW, the pointer actually doesn’t work too good with pigeons, but it does with seagulls….maybe the pigeons don’t see it very well
It’s the seagulls that make all the racket when people throw food out the window, and the pointer is usually very effective with scaring them off…But this seagull was an exception, it turns out, and was utterly fascinated with it
100mw pointer, effective with crackheads and gulls…usually
