Disposable umbrellas
But, aren’t most umbrellas essentially disposable these days?
The Gap-Toothed Face of Mid-Market
This is great. I’ve always wondered what the story was with many of these abandoned buildings along Market st. This interactive map helps shed some light.

How Not to Depict a War - Lens Blog - NYTimes.com
An Iraq War photographer explains the egregious mistakes in “The Hurt Locker” that make it an unrealistic depiction of the Iraq War.
While I like the movie, I agree with this part of the article the most:
While many have praised the movie as anti-war, I believe — in a counter-intuitive way — that it glamorizes war.
Sgt. James is meant to be an anti-hero, for sure, but the way he is introduced to us in the film is so action-hero that I find it hard to believe that many young (and old too, likely) men wouldn’t have instantly wanted to be him. I get the feeling that the film is still a little too sympathetic to him to properly make its statement about the consequences of his actions. And, It makes me wonder if it is not intentionally ambiguous in order to soak up some extra box office dollars from the ignorant.
Actually, I take that back. I think Sgt. James is more of a casualty here than a villain. Still, his return to the war in the end takes a mysteriously triumphant air…
This is pretty San Francisco right here: some asshole with a ridiculous bike contraption, some asshole going up and talking to him, some asshole pulling a shopping cart, some asshole text messaging while walking, some asshole on a bike on his cell phone, some asshole commuter van of some asshole tech company… all this photo really needs is some asshole walking around with a DSLR thinking he’s a street photographer, oh wait.
(Also, asshole is a term of endearment.)
SO TRUE.
