San Francisco (almost) native. Maker of kinetic sculptures and automata. Arduinos and arcade buttons make me smile.

This ranking biases toward places lots of people walk/bike to begin with. Tons of pedestrians/cyclists at Market & Octavia = tons of opportunities for injury.

Very few people walk or bike near 19th Ave & Sloat, but it still made the citywide top 10. So if you're wondering where, if *you* decide to walk there, you'll have the highest risk of getting hit, 19th Ave & Sloat is by far the most dangerous on the list.

Chronicle: SF’s most dangerous intersections are concentrated in one part of the city.

Map with lots of red dots in the Tenderloin, SoMa, and the Mission, and just a few dots at certain west side intersections.

Finally, Mastodon becomes the place we all run to for verification of an earthquake. Shout out to the sfba.social family!

Thanks to @ai6yr, I'm now following a couple of San Francisco Bay Area earthquake alert bots: @sfeq @caeq

@mikec415 Felt it here at 31st ave. Just a little one.

I dug out my inks to try painting with them for nearly the first time and then I had a lot left after I was done with what I had planned because I poured out too much, so I painted a bunch of random stuff from gardening magazines and old #CuratorPrompts

This one is from #CuratorPrompts168 :D

We were on pins & needles 1 year ago having putting everything we could into saving #JFKPromenade, along with SO MANY others.

Measure J passed by 63%! And history was made for pedestrians in San Francisco.

If you❤️JFK, make a gift today at walksf.org/donate for more historic wins!

The fact that the main SF library is walking distance from my home is such a huge life upgrade. Almost any book, dvd, CD, even vinyl record I’d like? Put it in my library cart. Check out and hold. I collect them on my way back from work (or to / from the train, or from the farmers market which is kinda all the same thing). It has such a vast collection. I just borrowed a ‘Kodak Basic Developing, Printing, Enlarging in Color’ from 1977. Didn’t even need eBay

@eniatitova Loved her book, and now that you mention it I want to read it again.

@eniatitova AI powered plumbing. Because every problem is ultimately a plumbing problem. 😅

@eniatitova Definitely the deep fried chicken in house special sauce. We also like the various bibimbaps.

@eniatitova We do a lot of take out from EBX and Shin Toe Bul Yi (both on Taraval) and Noriega Teriyaki. Guerra's is our goto for sandwiches. Our favorite eat-in places are Sunset Reservoir Brewing (Noriega), Tazaki Sushi (Judah) and Pizza Place on Noriega. And for special occasions Spiazzo on West Portal. For coffee we like Diamond Coffee and Pastry on Judah. Ok, actually we go there as much for the pastries as for the coffee. :)

#Anchor Brewing is doing well with their effort to form a co-op and keep the #brewery open in #SanFrancisco, and I'm sure they could use more help.

6pm tonight: the fog, moving in.

In case you've never seen San Francisco fog, it has an edge... and this is what it looks like.

The Bay and East Bay are visible. Nearby Bernal Heights is not.

#photography #NoeValley #cityscape

A cotton ball of fog rolls over the city, looking east towards Oakland from San Francisco. Half the fram is foggy, the other half perfectly clear... with a sharp line delineating where the fog starts and stops.

Taken from our side deck.

@eniatitova I'm delighted! I hope it works out for both of you.

@eniatitova She's cool. I love her podcast!
