I recently visited the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and came away with this animation of the waterfall located in the cafeteria in the East Building.
The National Gallery of Art East Building was designed by I.M. Pei & Partners. If you visit the museum it might be hard to tell who designed it, because it has become routine to rub the engraving of I.M. Pei on the wall.
Virtually impossible, I know, if you live in the upper Haight. Word to the wise.
I think this billboard pops up from time to time, but it caught my eye last week as I walked out of a newly renovated Murio’s Trophy Room.
Check out this billboard and then grab a drink at Murio’s. Two birds, one stone.
I’ve been riding past these funky eyeball looking mobiles hanging from the phones lines along The Wiggle for the past month now, and just recently noticed a heart accompanying the “eyeballs” across Fell Street when you’re about to dump into The Panhandle.
Here’s a zoomed in view:
Props to whoever is making these and getting them up. For one thing, they don’t ever seem to be coming down and have already made it through the biggest storm of the year. Also, Fell Street is pretty much a highway (that desperately needs a separated bike lane) so it must have been late at night or a risky move to have gotten this mobile/art project up on those phone lines.
Put in a separated bike lane, because Fell Street Is For Lovers.
Update: The heart is part of an art project called “Love Aqui,” by Ana Rivero Rossi and Todd Hanson. Mission Local has more background on the now global art project in a story called Challenging an Urban Myth. Really cool stuff.
Thank you Jeremy!
San Franpsycho posted some sweet shots of their stickers holding prime location in New York City. West meets East. Any east coast readers want to try and find these?

These reminded me of an Isurus Wetsuits sticker I saw in rainy San Francisco’s Cole Valley neighborhood this past weekend.
Blur your eyes a little.

My brother’s 10-foot longboard had seen better days, so he decided to recycle it. The new board is about half its original size and shaped liked the trash can it was most likely headed for.
The below photos document the longboard’s resurrection.
This surfboard was shaped to mirror the “soap” design by Mini Simmons.
A fresh blanket of snow makes everything look pristine, even a cow skull.
