Vuitton Rips Chihuly

Enough people knock-off Louise Vuitton bags I guess the company thought it would be okay to rip-off somebody else as well. Here is a shot of the Louis Vuitton store in Union Square.

This is from last year's Chihuly exhibit at the deYoung.
Chihuly uses glass while Vuitton uses cheap plastic pipes.

Run Run Run

Taking Back the Streets

Park(ing) Day. What started in San Francisco (of course) has spread elsewhere, lounge chairs in Times Square. It is only for one day but it is a start in taking back the streets.

Laboring Away on Angel Island

So close yet so far.

Colorful City

In more ways than one.

Tie-Dyed Hot

It is even too hot to wear Tie-Dye.

Books and Bikes

My neighborhood library. Not the most effecient bike rack but one of the cooler ones I have seen.

Better than Velcro

Shoelaces Not Needed Everyone knows how to tie shoelaces but most don’t know how to properly adjust them. That uncomfortable shoe could just be a matter of tension. Technically you should readjust every 4-5th wear. Why even bother if there’s something better? The No Shoelace Shoe uses a single strap that wraps around the entire width of your foot’s arch. By simply tightening or loosening a velcro strap, you achieve the perfect fit. Designed for runners but this simple design could easily translate into any footwear.

Corked

What have you been doing with your used corks? I bet nothing like this.
All small display outside City Hall today.

Life Sized Candyland

Such a cool thing. Too bad I did not get to play.

Bike Blocked

Luckily the street is not busy but what was this SUV driver thinking? Then again, they are driving an SUV.

Clever Ad

Spotted at the aiport. That is what I call target marketing. Brilliant. This is one of the bins you have to put your stuff in going through security. First time I have seen ads there. Again, brilliant

I can hold it

Just bad design

Pedal Power

I own three bikes and actually use them. What about you?

Perfect

Hollywood by The Bay

Crews are out shooting a new TV show called "Trama' in The City. The show is supposed to be on NBC in the fall. This was taking place along the Embarcadero at Justin Herman Plaza. It reminded me how much it takes and costs to put together a TV production.

Touch My Knob

This makes you want to open more doors.

Paper Cuts

Impressive. As intricate as The City itself.
