I wondered what the hell this was… I was hitting the 101/280 North/South split at 730 and it was clear 280 South was stopped cold. Effing freaky.
Last night a 27-year-old man was shot and killed while driving on the 280. This is the second freeway killing in less than a week. 37-year-old Luis Solari of Richmond was driving his Honda car at around 6 p.m. going southbound between the Alemany and Monterey boulevards exits when the shooting occurred. So far no arrests have been made, but according to the Gate:
San Francisco police Sgt. Neville Gittens said the suspect vehicle was a small red four-door car of unknown make. He said initial reports that the suspect’s car was gold or tan were incorrect.
Two children were also in the car Solari was driving, a seven- and eight-year-old. None of the kids were injured. Investigators are still trying to figure out what sparked the rush hour attack.

Holy WTF! This is one of those “I heard this happened in [some city that isn’t mine]” incidents. I haven’t been to the SF zoo one in the 11 years I’ve been here.
One San Francisco Zoo visitor was killed and two others injured early this evening after a tiger escaped from its cage. (Read More)
I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. Very steep hills, perpendicular parking, and folks driving recklessly fast wherever they can to compensate for the stupid layout of a 7 x 7 mile sity that can take over an hour to traverse. I chide myself about 6 times a day as I try, but am unable to release the parking brake until my seatbelt is in place, but then hear my mom say “Most accidents happen within 2 miles of home or work. Always wear your seatbelt.” And I always do. Thanks mom!
The collision occurred about 3:50 p.m. [11//18/2007] when a man driving a Dodge sedan came rushing downhill on Arkansas Street and plowed into the back of a Volvo station wagon, sending it hurtling through the intersection with 17th Street, according to San Francisco Police Lt. Dave Smith.
The people in the Volvo - a woman, a man and two young children - were wearing seat belts, and the younger child, a 2-year-old, was riding in a car seat, said Smith. Also in the Volvo was a black poodle.
“The dog didn’t make it,” said Smith. “And the back of the car was just gone.”
The passengers were taken to San Francisco General Hospital, with injuries that ranged from moderate to critical in severity, though none of them were life-threatening, officials said. (Read More)
Gosh I didn’t even have to make up a snarky headline…

An 18-year-old Oakland man was shot to death at San Francisco’s busy Metreon shopping center Sunday night, after an argument with at least one other young man just inside the building’s entrance. (Read More)
That’s it. I am done with the emm effing Westfield/Sony Metreon. Hailed as manna from geek heaven when it opened, the mal became low rent and creepy within a year of its opening: Understaffed, rude, filthy theaters, unspeakably disgusting bathrooms with no mirrors, and incapable of handling crowd control (for “gala” openings like Transformers).
The only thing they did right was make widespread use of self service ticket kiosks.
Shut it down Sony. Raze the ugly building to the ground, and let someone else make use of the space.
Sitting here at whole foods bistro waiting for my yummy mac and cheese, browsing google newsreader using the free wifi they provide. First, i see this:
K, fine. So I click through to the linked youtube channel, and see this:
Lame job, whole foods. I’m not exactly trying to download blu-ray here.
Just last night I “ran” home from work, “ran” around my house to find my driver’s license and bank card which had gone missing, then “ran” outside to catch a cab to go meet friends. I can attest to the fact that the three beers I had helped me recover.
Whatever. Cut the middleman out.
A beer after playing a game of football, a long run, or a strenuous round of golf can be good for the body, scientists say.
In a rare piece of good news for those who like a pint, Spanish researchers say beer can help someone who is dehydrated retain liquid better than water.
Prof Manuel Garzon, of Granada University, also claimed the bubbles in beer help to quench the thirst and that its carbohydrate content can help to replace lost calories. (Read More)
