Josh Wolf for San Francisco Mayor?

Last night I had drinks with Josh Wolf (CNet Media Sphere), Brian Conley (Alive in Baghdad), talking citizen journalism, politics, girls - you know, the usual. Then Josh Wolf revealed he's thinking of running for mayor of San Francisco. If Josh Wolf is elected, he'll wear a Justin.tv-style webcam because he believes government should take a clue from the open source movement. Transparent government, what a concept!

Hillary Clinton gets racy!

Hillprince

Those silly Wonkette pranksters. Prince would be a sexy choice for Hillary Clinton, but she went with something more... vomitous. Celine Dion. But, I gotta give "mad props" to whomever came up with this Sopranos spoof.

Local Phood Blawgs

Sometimes I spell things funny to dissuade Google from caring about my writings. Strange, no?

Anyway, check out Raw Food, RIght Now! "The raw food blog for people who live in the real world." I don't know much about raw food, but Heidi and Justin are super cool. I feel they'll have me eating new things and looking at food differently. Also check out Eating the MInneapple -   Joy Estelle's detailed accounts of recreational eating adventures in our burgeoning foodie town.

Hooray for more food blogs! Speaking of, Lorika and I are working on a top secret vlog project along these lines. Stay, uhh, tuned. Stay subscribed? Oh these newfangled compugadgets, with all their buttons and flashing lights.

Podtech, please pay Lan Bui

Hey Podtech - this is pretty cut-and-dry. You used Lan Bui's photograph in a promotional contest without his permission. He sent you an invoice but you aren't responding. Do the right thing.

Steve Woolf has more. Rick Rey has more.

Max Headroom steals the airwaves

During a broadcast of the Dr. Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" on WTTW Chicago Channel 11, on Sunday November 22nd, 1987, at around 11:15pm, a Video "Pirate" wearing a Max Headroom mask broke into the signal and transmitted one of the weirdest, unauthorized things ever to hit the Chicago airwaves.

Dude was never caught. [via]
