I don't think before I type's Posts

Apparently, Lefty O'Doul, which I found out was merely a mannequin and not a taxidermied version of the man himself, had his left arm stolen a few years back and was taken on a whirlwind tour of the globe, as reported by NPR. Not bad, not bad, but I'd like to see someone do this with one of the Doggy Diner heads.

I showed up, spurred on more by the rumors of free alcohol than by any interest in seeing the reattachment of the arm by an actual doctor (paid for by Obamacare). I shot this and it features at least one world famous blogger, Beth Spotswood, who blogged about me blogging about her and here I am blogging about that like an even shittier version of Inception. Here's a bonus video I shot of Stevie Nicks talking to the doctor:

Well, except for Evelyn Taft obviously, and Gary Radnich, but everything else makes me sad. At least this guy has a tripod. I've seen other KRON reporters just put the camera all crooked up on a garbage can.

Some punk kid put together a detailed proposal for an Oakland streetcar plan for $987, or the same amount the writers of Uptown Almanac spent on alcohol, vegan cookies, and condoms last weekend.  I read about it awhile back, but it seems to be gaining momentum with said punk kid, 20-year-old Stanford student Daniel Jacobson, presenting at the Oakland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee tonight. These types of proposals usually, inexplicably cost a few hundred grand to put together, so I propose capping city planner ages at 21, when idealism and naivety allow people to create things without wasting a shitload of money. Read more at Oakland North.

Apparently everyone on earth has already seen this, but I was celebrating my purchase of some non-iPhone fancypants phone on the internets and Stefania Starfish linked to this. I'm getting that HTC EVO. I don't know anything about it, but I heard I can play Tetris on it, so that's all I need really. I can do that on the Razr that I've had for five years also, but that Tetris is too easy.
