Edit: Thanks to all who reposted this! The concert was two nights ago, so no need to keep reposting.

Hi #SFBA I've got two tickets to see The New Pornographers and Will Sheff at the Castro Theater tonight (8pm) and I can't make it. I'd rather give them to someone here than scalp them. Let me know if you're interested!

June Gloom (sorry, May) so dark in the South Bay that the outdoor lights are still on at 7am this morning. #sfba

IMO the most beautiful theater in #Oakland #SFBA @LisaKalayji https://infosec.exchange/@LisaKalayji/116547741456864123

Went to see the opening of the "Ruth Asawa: Untitled" show today. I always enjoy seeing her works, and this was no exception. Beautifully curated.

I especially enjoyed this 'tryptic'. I loved seeing the water color, the ink drawing, and the abstraction of colors all together.

The show is open through June 20. If you're in San Francisco, go see it!

Omg The Paramount in Oakland is screening classic films again for a month (maybe longer if enough of us go)! And Fantasia is one of the films they're going to show! :blobaww:

Today went to the Hawaiian May Day Festival at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It was sunny but not too hot with hula, vendors, and good food.

A week of goofing with MeshCore on the Wio Tracker L1 Pro.

Mostly good. 5 day battery life. Quietly connected to phone app over BLE. Short text messages only.

I find I have spotty connectivity in my part of #sfba, with lost packets.

So I will try putting up a MeshCore repeater over my house. Seeed SenseCap Solar Node P1-Pro ordered.

And I might get $11 Xiao ESP32S3/Wio-SX1262 kit, just as a dongle for desktop computer to talk to my new repeater overhead.

Today is the Fair Oaks community garage sale. This year I’m looking for interesting objects to use as props for still life paintings and art practice.

If you paint or draw, do you have a collection of props? Or suggestions for objects that are particularly useful to train on or interesting to paint? (My mediums are watercolor and pen and ink)

I wonder how something like this would fly in San Francisco. I figured the reason why it is not an issue here is the city Council and the cops don’t even pay attention Waymo traffic violations.

We already know that somebody like Elon Musk hates public transportation, and I wouldn’t limit the desire to enclose our mobility along with the enclosure of the Internet

I have a Product Manager friend looking for a new PM role. I’m trying to convince him to #GetFediHired on #Mastodon.

#ProductManagement folks, where should my friend be looking/engaging for a new PM role in #SanFrancisco or #SFBA, hybrid or remote?

Got another pic of the nest in the tree being used as a granary for acorns. Fun-fact - Acorn Woodpeckers are cooperative breeders, multiple members share mates and other non-sexual members help with raising the chicks. The one outside the nest is clearly the male, which you can tell by the larger red “cap” on its head. The females have a smaller red cap. San Jose, California, May 2026.

Today went to the Saratoga Rotary Art Show at West Valley College. The weather was nice, the art interesting, and the dogs enjoyed the grass.

Today me and my friends took Bart to go to the east bay a ride our bikes for 30miles around Orinda area.

Stopped a Gregoire's on the way back, a delicious sandwich and salad place in Berkley. The vegan fried chicken is a must!! Highly recommend it.

Taking Bart for a bike ride on Saturday morning was surprisingly very pleasant. It also enabled us to start and end a different points (Orinda and Downtown Berkley)

Is there any transit agency that does a sort of group discount? Because it would have been much cheaper to drive, despite the gas prices...

The Bay Bridge I-80 E is totally wrecked tonight…

My partner has been stuck in San Francisco traffic for over an hour trying to get home to Oakland and will likely be stuck another 30+ minutes.

“Severe Traffic Alert and Police Department Activity on Eastbound I-80 West of Treasure Island Rd in San Francisco

As of 8:04 PM, CHP reports that there is a severe traffic alert and police department activity on eastbound I-80 west of Treasure Island Rd in San Francisco. The left lane is now open; the right lanes remain blocked. Motorists are advised to expect delays and to use alternate routes to avoid the area. There is no estimated time to reopen the roadway.”

Weird experience: I got to the Line G stop at the Salesforce Center just as the FS bus departed in front of us. Then, just after getting off the Line G bus on Solano, I cross the street and that same Line FS bus (not in service at that point) stops to let me cross.

A continuous, unbroken spiral of 720 polygons arranged in a circle. Multiple finely-tuned sine wave oscillation functions control the size of each polygon, reaching its peak at the top and bottom of the page. A contemplation of the tides, currents, and lifecycles big and small.

Columbus & Broadway

This is a colour street photo in portrait format of the front of a building brightly painted with the figures of various famous jazz musicians playing their instruments on a back drop of local street scenes. Columbus & Broadway, San Francisco (2013). The facade of the building is viewed obliquely from an angle of about 45º and captures 3 floors above the ground level. The building is a city low-rise apartment block that's neither new nor old. In view are the three floors with three windows on each floor, some open, some closed. Some with curtains drawn, some open. One with laundry drying below the window cill. Stretching upwards from the base to a little above the centre of the photo and dominating the image is the mural of a middle-aged pianist dressed in a jacket and blue tie, playing the piano with sheet music laid out above the keyboard. Above the pianist and in the upper left corner is a further middle-aged man wearing glasses, shirt and tie and playing the clarinet, Benny Goodman perhaps ? To his right and in the upper right corner is a man playing the drums, his head out of view. The background of the facade in the lower left corner is light blue with the gaps between the musicians being filled with local scenes with street signs, a windmill, sailing boat, car and high-rise in view. This is one of the bright and colourful murals that decorate in and around San Francisco's Chinatown.
