If you’re a student or faculty member at U.C. Berkeley, then you’re invited to see Bill Clinton on February 24th, 2010. The subject will be:
“Global Citizenship: Turning Good Intentions into Positive Action“
Admission is free for students, but faculty and staff will have to fork over $45 each. (Can you believe it? It would be cheaper for them to spend a night at Gump Station in the South Pacific.)
The rush for free tickets starts at 7:00 AM, February 18th, 2010. See you there!
Sadly, despite the words of touchy, touchy CityBright Zennie62, students, faculty and/or staff won’t be able to help you, a non-UC Berkelian, get a seat. Actually, it will be tough for the students themselves to get a ticket online.
But if you do get in, don’t be surprised if Bill shows up late, just like the last time he came to the bay area to do a big public address. Bill was late late late. Even the Mayor of San Francisco was reduced to gesticulations after being repeatedly lied to by Bill’s people about Bill’s arrival time back in 2006. Gavin’s coping strategy was to keep pointing at his watch to note the lateness of the hour. Like this:
Oh, here’s Bill:
The Blum Center for Developing Economies, University of California, Berkeley is pleased to announce that President Bill Clinton will speak to UC Berkeley students, staff, and faculty about Global Citizenship: Turning Good Intentions into Positive Action at 3:30 p.m. February 24 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Auditorium. Doors will open at 3 p.m.
Tickets for this event can be obtained online only.

Until recently, there were two bus stops on the same side of this short block of Hayes Street near Masonic. See?
But a few of the stops had to go away to comply with the new changes that came about on December 6, 2009.
The remaining stops got a bit of sprucing up last week, with red paint and what not:

Of course there’s no shelter to replace the ones that got taken away, but you can’t have everything in Life, right? You can’t expect a minor bus line to have four stops just for itself within a 200 foot radius forever, right?
Hurray.

Well this is how some massive support columns are now decorated at the University of California, San Francisco medical school these days.
As seen from Parnassus Avenue:
It looks to be a collection of shots of students from over the past hundred years – could it be the Student Photo Project? Maybe, but the S.P.P. goes on about “the three primary colors*, red, yellow and blue” that they were going to use and this installation is just black and white.
Anyway, it looks great. Keep up the good work, students of UCSF.
Old school! The way it looked back in 1908:
*Yes, I remember first grade as well, but it was all a lie – red, yellow and blue are not “the” primary colors, they are just one group of primaries, and they aren’t so hot in that role, anyway. Or, as Wiki so diplomatically opines, the RYB color model “predates modern scientific theory.” Harsh. Harsh but fair.

What do you compost, recycle or throw into the garbage? It’s not that simple these days, so these cans at UCSF Mission Bay Campus can be a help.
The have photos of what goes where and also actual samples up there nailed to the wall. See? Your empty PopChips bag belongs in the garbage, for example.
You can’t do better than that.

UCSF’s Mission Bay campus was all filled up yesterday with attentive youths, Genius Bar geniuses, and Laughing Squid’s Scott Beale, so that can mean only one thing – it must have been yet another one-day WordCamp from WordPress.
As always, the focus is “on how to be a better blogger, on the development and future of WordPress, and other topics of interest.” Just read the WordCamp Report for the deets:
But, What Does WordPress Mean To You? That’s something to ponder as you…
Get free help from WP geniuses, such as Brian Colinger, for instance.
Or peruse the Job Board:
Or proactively look for work with your name card.
Or nosh on Southern BBQ complete with ham-hocked collard greens
And steer clear of the WordPress bully boys, with their tattoos and their flashing gang signs. There was lots of stuff to do.
Plus, attendees got American Apparel T-shirts. All this could have been yours for just $25. What a bargain.
See you next year!

Mission accomplished.
But is there another way to handle old sofas?

From Sacred Heart Academy in 1898, to College of the Sacred Heart in 1921, from Menlo Park, CA to San Francisco in the 1930’s with another name change to San Francisco College for Women, to Lone Mountain College for Women in 1968, to the Lone Mountain Campus of the University of San Francisco in 1978.
Suzanne Somers of Three’s Company fame got a music scholarship as an undergrad there in 1964 but had to leave when she got preggers in ‘65. There’s your short history – not easy to find much info about this place, you know.

This model of UCSF’s Main Campus on Parnassus is fairly sizeable and covered in glass, so it must have been quite job to place this Godzilla doll inside.
Well done.
