San Francisco's Bike to Work Day



null
You really can’t yell at BART passengers with attitude about your bike today – at least not like you can to all the people in cars that are trying to cut you off.

Best Airport in the Bay Area



Grudgingly, I'll admit that the best airport to do any traveling from in the Bay Area is the San Jose International Airport.

JetBlue and New Parking Options at SFO



Customers of JetBlue Airlines flying into the Bay Area haven't had the option of flying into SFO, instead ending up in Oakland. Now, I've got nothing against Oakland, but as a resident of San Francisco, I prefer flying out of and into SFO.

And good news! Starting May 3rd, JetBlue will begin direct service to the East coast with four daily flights to New York's JFK and ...

Centennial Celebration at Grace Cathedral



Grace CathedralI admit I have a certain fondness for Grace Cathedral. For nearly four years I was the chief sound engineer there. I'd show up for work early on Sunday morning bleary-eyed and yawning as I prepared the microphones and sound system for the day's events. (I'm also the chief sound engineer for ...
