Westfield Shopping Center in San Francisco

Inside the westfield shopping center on market street in san francisco.

For those visiting san francisco, make sure to visit the awesome food court located on the bottom floor of the shopping center.  A multitude of great choices for the weary shopper. Then get the hell out of there because there are better places to see in the city!

Sticker Robot - Pop Culture Parody Pack

I absolutely loved the character choices and design aesthetic of Sticker Robots’ Pop Culture Parody Pack.  The pack includes accessories to modify the characters. Although, I’m quite sure that they are perfect as is.

From the item description

Each pack comes with the freshest, sickest collection of some our most beloved pop culture heroes, hand picked and custom illustrated from another one of our anonymous creative heroes.

An outstanding cast of characters

I hope that the majority of people can strongly identify with one of the characters.  As much as Barney Fife is way before time, I still saw Pleasantville and the rendering of Don Knotts on the sticker inspires nostalgia for an era that…wait what are we talking about sonny?…oh thats right.  As a Blade Runner fanatic, I was personally thrilled with the inclusion of Pris, the confused, seductive replicant (human-clone), who cartwheeled her way into my heart long ago.

  1. Bob Ross – PBS painting guru
  2. Dennis Hopper as Frank Booth in David Lynch’s cult favorite Blue Velvet
  3. Rod Serling of the tv series Twilight Zone
  4. Daryl Hannah as Pris from the movie masterpiece Blade Runner
  5. Don Knotts as Barney Fife from the television classic The Andy Griffith Show

are they worth the $10 + shipping? out with your thoughts in the comment section!

Part of the appeal of owning an iPhone 3gs is the ability to have instant access to a video camera. Also that video camera fits comfortably in your pocket and travels with you 24/7. Now I will admit that the videos recorded by the iPhone 3gs are far from steady. What I don’t understand is when seeking steady video, one would be willing to carry an oversized slingshot but not a small dedicated video camera. Perhaps if I entered an iPhone 3gs Short Film Competition sponsored by Tiffen Steadicam Smoothee, i might use one.
