Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

If I lived in this Hayes Street condo, I’d just tell the window cleaners to forget about it, considering the effort they would need to expend.

Flooded Streets Don’t Slow Down San Francisco’s Street Sweeping Service

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

When the signs say that they’re going to ticket cars and run the street sweepers on Tuesday morning betwixt 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, you can bet that they’re going to ticket cars and run the street sweepers on Tuesday morning just after 8:00 AM. Flooded streets cannot alter this. It Is Written.

So this is how City employees will spend their time today, whether you like it or not!

“Beeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….”

Google Employees Press 14 Buttons to Operate Their Toilets.

Looking for entertainment? San Francisco Events information is available at BarrysTickets.com as well as great deals on all San Francisco Giants Tickets and Orpheum Theater San Francisco Tickets

Of course, employees at the California offices of Google don’t necessarily have to have to press all 14 buttons during each visit to the loo, but then they wouldn’t be getting the full benefit of this fancy toilet, made by Toto (no, not the Toto that stole a song from the Beatle(s) until Jake Shimabukuro stole it back, this Toto, from Japan).

It’s the Jasmin Washlet E200. Awesome! It has a 52-page instruction manual, so read all about it. Or just buy one of your own.

Now if you’re at work, think twice before checking out Toto’s out-of-this-world, infomercial-laden Clean is Happy website, because the partial nudity makes it marginally NSFW. (But actually, I was bold enough forward the link to my grandmother). Keep clicking, as it gets better and better.

If you’re a Googler, you should demand an immediate upgrade to the latest model, the S400. If you’re not a Googler, then click on to see all the command module buttons up close. That way, you’ll be prepared during your visit, if you ever get so lucky. See you after the jump.   (more…)
