Why Does San Francisco’s Corrupt DPW Sometimes Haul Away San Francisco Chronicle Newsboxes? Photo
Friday, February 1st, 2013Congratulations, San Francisco Chronicle Writer CW Nevius – You’ve Made Poynter’s “Error of the Year” List!
Wednesday, December 12th, 2012Via the Bay Area Observer comes the news of one of CW Neviusese’s many, many errors going national.
See?
Ah, mem’ries:
“C.W. Nevius’ column about Most Holy Redeemer banning drag queen performers incorrectly stated that entertainer Peaches Christ appeared at an event at the church’s hall with a dildo shaped like a crucifix. He did not appear at the event, nor does he use the prop.”
I are smart, so very very smart:
“It’s not that Mirkarimi is expected to have much of a shot to win reinstatement. All the smart money at City Hall is predicting an 11-0 vote against his case. That way everyone has some political cover. An ideological vote - John Avalos or David Campos voting for Mirkarimi to confirm far left credentials – isn’t likely.”
And what of the so-called Southern Waterfront Proposal for the already-failed America’s Cup 2013?
Check it. The Nevius changed course 180 degrees over three months (which is 60 degrees per month, you know, nautically.) That’s a lot to forget about.
In closing, Nevius, can’t you try a little harder? I mean, you get paid for five days a week and you only “work” about two days a week, right?
In the alternative, why don’t you acknowledge your numerous mistakes?
Just asking, Bro.
Do You Live South of Market? This is Your Chance to Own the LiveSOMA Blog! A 3.5 Year Run
Thursday, December 6th, 2012Here’s the news from LiveSOMA:
“With the birth of my first son, a ridiculously overwhelming list of work-related projects, and the fact that I was recently priced out of the South of Market Neighborhood and forced to move to a part of the City where homeless people aren’t constantly pooping on my doorstep (GASP!), I have decided not to continue.
With that said, if anyone out there would like to dust off LiveSOMA, I will gladly help you take it over. I would really hate to see the site- and its years of development- go to waste. Just shoot me an email. If not, I will be pulling the plug after the new year.”
Attention News-Gatherers: Now You Can Buy a News-Gathering Drone for $290 at Costco #144 – Control with Cell Phone
Wednesday, November 14th, 2012It’s kind of new, it’s totally for you. It’s the Parrot Quadricopter AR Drone 2.0.
I told you all about this contraption before, but at the time it was only available online. These days, you can head on down to the SoMA Costco (America’s First Urban Costco) and get one for less than $300.
Then, you train your new pet to listen to simple commands from your cell phone (yes, there’s an app for that) and then you’re on your way to a Pulitzer:

Apparently, the San Francisco Chronicle Can No Longer Afford to Pay the Rent for Willie Brown’s PedMount News Racks
Thursday, October 25th, 2012So like the San Francisco Chronicle is cutting back on street distribution in the Financh?

Sure looks that way.
Or maybe just on Monty Street?
Now, is there any penalty on former Mayor Willie Brown for foisting all this short-sighted pedmount concept on the MSM and the Commonweal?
Apparently not.
Oh well.
The “before” picture here looks better to me than the “after” photo…

Your Android or iOS device, which you already have, can run an app to tell this thing where to go.
Then you can get video like this.
Oh, and they throw in an extra battery for you.
And don’t worry too much about any legal hassles.
Get with the times, people.
Teachable Moments for San Francisco Chronicle Writer CW Nevius: A Lesson in Journalism from Matt Smith
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012You see, Nevius? Here’s the deal. You wrote this:
SF police get new crime fighting tools: computers
But you should have written this:
Do you see the difference, Chuck?
It’s the difference between being just another City Hall Megaphone and being, you know, an actual journalist.
Chuck on a good hair day:
Class dismissed.
How the Commenters of SFGate Ruined, Just Ruined, This Press Release/Advertorial for the McRoskey Mattress Co.
Tuesday, July 10th, 2012Let me tell you something here – if you can get a good night’s sleep ONLY in a McRoskey Mattress, you know, the way the McRoskey Mattress Company wants you to think, then there’s something wrong with you asides from your back or your neck or whathaveyou.
There’s something wrong with yo noggin, is what I’m saying.
Anywho, comes now the longtime San Francisco-based McRoskey Mattress Co. with its new square bed what costs five figures(!).
Let’s see how the readers of the Chronicle SFGate respond to the advertorial in the electronic pages of the SFGate. Here are the first two:
“FINALLY! A mattress with the 49 square feet of space I NEED, and at a $12,000 price tag I can AFFORD!”
“Almost 12 grand for a mattress… it should improve sleep, sex, and prolong my life by 10 years for that.”
Here’s how it will look in the corner of your live-work mansion:

And here’s the original release, below, if you want to compare.
McRoskey, if I put one of your 7×7 box springs on the sidewalks of San Francisco, it would sit there for weeks because nobody would realize it’s worth thousands of dollars.
(Oh, because it’s not worth thousands of dollars.)
McRoskey, if you took a 1×1 bite out of the upper left corner of this mattress combo, I’d give you points for style. But you didn’t do that.
McRoskey, nobody wants your $12,000 beds.
(And oh, Gentle Reader, if you want a good night’s sleep for two, why not get a queen mattress from the Costco? $475 delivered – it comes in a surprisingly small box, one that you yourself can move around. Let it air out for a couple of days after it expands, and you’re in business. This is the modern way of sleep during our Great Recesssion.)
“McRoskey Mattress Introduces The New 7′X7′ San Francisco King
McRoskey’s newest standard size is for people who really love to stretch out
SAN FRANCISCO, May 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – McRoskey Mattress Company introduces a new standard size mattress set, the 7′X7′ San Francisco King©. This seven foot square mattress is the perfect size for people who want more freedom of movement while sleeping, love sleeping with their pets or just want more room to cuddle with the kids.
According to McRoskey President Robin McRoskey Azevedo, the 7′X7′ San Francisco King was created to address these needs, providing more space and more comfort. “Because we’ve received ongoing requests for custom over-sized mattresses from customers – especially professional athletes — who want a bigger sleeping surface, we have introduced this new, larger standard size.” She adds, “Our new 7′X7′ San Francisco King is an ideal mattress for an open loft area, a spacious penthouse or a large master bedroom suite. And as a San Francisco-based manufacturer, we love the fact that the new size connects with San Francisco’s seven-by-seven square mile footprint.”
Like every McRoskey mattress set, the new San Francisco King is handcrafted to order at the McRoskey factory in San Francisco’s Central Waterfront neighborhood. The 7′X7′ San Francisco King comes complete with linens and mattress protector and is available in McRoskey’s byDesign and Classic comforts. Box spring heights can be customized.
This new San Francisco King set retails for $11,777 in the byDesign line. Retail pricing for the set in the Classic line is $7,777.
