I don’t know, You Make The Call on how wrong this Cadillac commercial is:
Apparently, San Francisco and Los Angeles are the same place.
Apparently, Brad Pitt just looooooves grandpa cars.
Apparently, Brad Pitt is a whore and his price is $3,000,000.
Apparently.
I don’t know what that means, but it’s what you’ll be saying after you visit the Indonesia Day 2011 celebration in Union Square today, July 23, 2011, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Actually, I didn’t understand any of this, so sheltered I am, so ignorant I am about the fourth most-populated country in the world:
Oh, here we go, subtitles!
See you there!
From @FredSharples comes this news: Panic Co-Founder Cabel M. Sasser had his Apple iPhone 4 ripped out of his hands while waiting for a table at a San Francisco restaurant two weeks ago.
Well, let’s let him Tweet the rest of the story:
“The good news? My iPhone 4, snatched out of my hand in SF (long story), just pinged, two weeks later! The bad news? http://t.co/ZBJ1J05“
That’s right, it turned up in Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon, aka S S S S S Saigon) in Vietnam, per the free Find My iPhone app.
Check it. Sai-going, Sai-gong, Sai-gone:

But that’s not the worst part, oh no:
“Worst part was, I was holding it pretty close, waiting for a table at a restaurant. And *poof*, gone so quickly.”
(What a nice story – it’s like the Golden Gate Restaurant Association and the Mayor’s Office got together to write the copy, huh?)
All the deets here on the Twitter.
Oh well.
Here’s the thing – Vietnam ranks pretty low on the list of places you generally need to worry about. Of course they’ve sent people to California to spy on us, but so has our good buddy Russia and a host of others and I’m sure America has spies over there in Hanoi as well, and S,S,S,S,Saigon too, or whatever they’re calling it these days. Fine.
But here’s a minor beef. Seems that a big .vn website, one with traffic greater than SFgate.com anyway, has no qualms about reposting a bunch of photos from Flickr after stripping copyright info.
Thusly. That’s not fair use, Dan Tri. You know, all that bay arean David Yu wants to do is add color to our lives, so it’s bad form to piss him off, right?
A typical kind of shot from DavidYuWeb:
Used with persimmon.
Should we expect more from huge profitable MSM websites operating out of our sister city?
Mmmmm….
Thusly. Click to expand:
Empty tanker Polar Alaska heads out back up to I’ll-give-you-just-one-guess as full container ships arrive from East Asia.
Just another day in the busy 415.
At the site (if not the exact same address) of the former Korean-themed brothel Gabin comes Jannah. It’s at 1775 Fulton in the NOPA, just down the street from the candyBar at 1335.
And guess what, they’re hiring! Servers, apparently, atleast that’s what the signs said.
And guess what, they’re already five-star rated at the Yelp!
See you there on Wednesday, the updated forecast for opening day.
