We've been interested in the Fell and Masonic deathtrap for a while. So, it was with incredible glee that we saw this, above, on our morning run. It's pretty simple - there's a left-turn arrow for westbound cars that stays green for about six seconds. Then the turn arrow goes red, and the bike/ped signal goes green.

We all had a great time piling on Muni last weekend, foaming and ranting about service to and from the park. But what was going on behind the scenes? We asked Muni how they strategized their service around Outside Lands. Here's what they had to say: "Over the weekend, the total number of extra buses was 118 -- that was divided between the 5 and 71 as needed. They even used extra buses on......

In cyberspace, "trolling" is when someone posts a deliberately controversial comment, not because they really wanted to say it but because they wanted to provoke an angry, emotional response from strangers -- kind of the online equivalent of insulting someone's girlfriend in a bar, or heckling a comedian, or snapping your towel at someone in the locker room.

Also, as everybody knows, driving down Market Street is kinda impossible anyways so why not?...

Last week, Gavin introduced plans to close down parts of the Embarcadero from the Bay View to Chinatown between from 9 AM to 1 PM on Aug. 31 and September 14 for some sort of car-free free free-for-all. Plans include everything from yoga to roller rinks to bikers biking and a whole lot more for those seeing some frolicking. Good idea, right? Complaints to commence in 3...2...1.......
