- Last Call for Labs (Foodspotting Proves It Can Work)
This Saturday marks the last day to apply for the pre-incubator Labs program through Women 2.0, but fear not: men and women can still qualify for the five week program for engineers, designers, and “business and marketing mavens” looking to start developing high-growth technology ventures in SF. Labs doesn’t require company equity or require that [...]
- Listen.
What would we do without public broadcasting? I loved this Everynone production “Words” created in collaboration with WNYC, RadioLab and NPR. A good reminder to pay attention thanks to San Francisco-bound pal Michelle Cohen.
- In Conversation with Slideshare’s Rashmi Sinha
I speak for production company VidSF and myself when I say it was a pleasure to talk with Slideshare co-founder Rashmi Sinha at the company’s SoMa office recently about her early visions for the site and her career. The interview, which addresses her advice for people considering leaving their jobs to start a new endeavor, [...]
- Summer Salon for Lady Content Creators
Design by Carmel Hagen; photo by Selvaprakash Lakshmanan Smarties: please join us for a Sunday tea date at Dartealing on September 26 for the sake of welcoming the (alleged) start of summer in SF. Join writers, illustrators, designers, programmers, and activists over scones for a bit of creative brainstorming to benefit the International Museum of [...]
- Digital Goings On for End of August
Lest you think the return of summer weather has people flocking only to Zeitgeist, there are two meetups worth mentioning on the social web front this week that may make being inside (temporarily, of course) worthwhile. Tonight’s Chomp Tastemaker Party at Sloane on Mission sold on quickly, for which you can thank a Rose/Scoble duo. [...]
- Exploring Urban Futures at GAFFTA
Starting tonight at 6 Pacific time, the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts will be presenting a second set of SENSEable Cities talks in conjunction with the digital art space’s partnership with MIT. After yesterday’s “New York Talk Exchange” visualization, I’m upset to miss these two talks tonight especially: Trash Track foreshadows the internet of [...]
- Intersection Highlights Trash Turned Treasure
Some of the most fun I had during my first year in advertising involved working with two artists in the SF Dump’s Artist in Residency program (count on our fair city to be one of the only ones nationwide that gives artists the privilege). Tables with bike wheels, sod couches and bulletproof benches were among [...]
- Solarthon to Outfit Area Homes
The Bay Area will be joined by San Diego, Fresno, LA and other cities in hosting summer “solarthons”–solar installations and block party fundraisers hosted by GRID Alternatives. The idea behind the events is to gather teams of work crews to install solar electric systems for low-income area families (who work alongside the amateur installers). While [...]
- Mission Mercado, Edición Dos
San Franciscans need not wait until the weekend for farm fresh comida thanks to a new Mission Community Market on Thursday nights. Today marks the second week for a non-profit marketplace that includes products from Yerena Farms, Rubber Ducky Soap, Twin Girls Farm, and Rainbow Orchards among others. Musicians will be on hand tonight to [...]
- Out Side Art Block Party Benefit
I recommend visiting the culture collective The Skeleton, whose art and music coverage is the brainchild of Monikka Delazerda, a young developer I had the pleasure of interviewing at a Ruby workshop for Mashable. It’s hosting a family-friendly benefit this Sunday that will include Plant*SF public greening and (knock on wood) fries by Fritz.
