As I discovered during my move from Seattle to San Francisco, wifi in the car makes the trip -- and finding stuff along the way -- much, much easier. Tom set up his own wifi solution (a Sprint EVDO router), which is trivially easy to do. Since mobile wifi seems to be the sort of thing that is quite handy when traveling, it makes sense that Avis is now offering it with car rentals from SF International Airport.

SF Supervisor Aaron "sources say" Peskin is offering a ballot measure that he says will improve MUNI. The unions are already screaming a blue streak about it, which means it just might be effective, if approved by voters.

We're a little funny, a little kooky, here in California. One of our wacky beliefs is that the people who represent us at the city level should actually live in that city. The San Francisco City Attorney isn't quite sure if SF Supervisor Ed Jew (whose offices and home were searched by the FBI last Friday for clues in a corruption investigation) actually lives in the city. The Chronicle helpfully points out that water to his primary San Francisco residence wasn't turned on until 60 days after residency requirements kicked in, and that neighbors rarely, if ever, see him or his family in the neighborhood.

I can admit that sometimes I'm too self-conscious for my own good, and that I especially hate making mistakes or looking like a complete fool in public. Whenever I'm in a new place and situation, I tend to hang back and watch what other people are doing before I dive into the fray, so that's why I really like this quick list of San Francisco "guides for n00bs" as written by one Yelp contributor. I think I'll do my own Yelp reviews in this format from now on.

If that's not to your taste, perhaps you'll appreciate a subjective list of "REAL Chinese food in the Bay Area."
