Neighborhoodr clued me in to this awesome new set of San Francisco maps today. Started by a couple of Berkeley students, Visualizing Mental Maps attempts to map how San Franciscans feel about their neighborhoods & the city, and the results are really interesting. From the site:

Terrible news, guys! According to CBS, there was some earthquake in Japan and now San Francisco sushi chefs are worried about delays in shipping fish to Potrero Hill:
At Umi on Potrero Hil, owner and executive chef Stewart Chen has a large variety of fish from the Japanese markets. […] But he’s already starting to see the impact of the earthquake on overseas deliveries.
“There are a lot of delays, especially the fish that might be a special request. They have been saying, we don’t have that,” he said.
Umi is one of several sushi restaurants in the Bay Area that is expecting long-lasting effects from the disaster in Japan.
Well, that just fucking sucks.

The Dogpatch badasses at Treehouse Gallery are opening their 'Under 100' show featuring local artists' work, all of which is for sale for (you guessed it) under $100. Some of the work seems pretty rad, and under $100 is pretty solid price for art of any caliber. The opening is 7pm to 10pm tomorrow (Saturday), and I'm told there will be PBRs on hand. So ya know, there's also that.
Looks like there'll be some quality stuff on hand. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Someone made a design-heavy video in attempt to sell employees of the Googlebooks and readers of thedailywh.at/boing boing/laughing squid/other memetumblrs on the merits of voting for Prop 19. Admittedly, I dig the video myself.
On the flip, SF street artist Eddie Colla (Correction: the artist was “Mark of the Beast,” Eddie only took the photo) isn't really sold on the prospect in living in a state full of McMarijuanas':

I know this race was last weekend and I didn't even go myself, but Team Chica has put together a pretty rad post about the race and an even radder collection of snaps. And with that, I'm going to Yosemite for a week to hang out in the rain, snow and cold. Lucky for me, there is no cell phone service out there. Lucky for you, there is a way for me to schedule posts on this blog. Later!

USA Today, a zine distributed for free in hotels and airports across America by a guerilla army of wage slaves, has declared 5-month-old Mr. & Mrs. Miscellaneous to be the most bomb-ass ice cream in all of California:
Finally, a full-on, sit-down ice cream parlor in San Francisco a simple, soaring space in the up-and-coming Dogpatch neighborhood. Ian Flores and wife Annabelle Topacio, aka Mr. & Mrs. Miscellaneous, do 10 flavors a day, delicate hand-rolled cones, and a killer frozen fudge pop served stickless on a biodegradable plate. 699 22nd St.; 415-970-0750
Not sure how in a state of 39 million people some place that just opened could be the place to get ice cream. Hell, I didn't even know this place existed until the other day when I went to 3rd to buy a 40 to chug while enjoying a Toxic Beach bumfire. The Yelppies go at length to compare this place to Humphry Slocombe, which we all know isn't ice cream, but two scopes of tortured Straus base dumped into an otherwise edible waffle cone. That alone makes me want to jump headfirst into a bathtub full of Hood, but I guess I should withhold my judgment until I eat enough of this stuff to get type II diabetes. After all, it's the best.
