House Call

Have you ever wondered what our apartment looks like? Have you ever wondered what it looks like when I’ve spent a few days obsessively mopping and dusting with Q-tips, because I know the Internet is about to see it? Well then, head on over to Apartment Therapy San Francisco and have a look. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wonder where we put all the toys.

Between the Mighty Haus launch, the launch party, moderating a panel at Blogher, and attending the conference, I have lots and lots to tell you. It’s been a good week.

Bay Area Secret Menus

We visited the Presidio Social Club last night and it turns out the restaurant has a secret menu. I did a little research when we got home and found this interesting secret menu PDF of other restaurants in the Bay Area that also have tricks up their sleeves. I especially want to try the Swan Oyster Depot’s sashimi plate.

Here’s one for national chains. Do any of you know of similarly comprehensive lists for other big cities?

19 Days Without Yeti

It’s been 19 days since the last Defective Yeti update, and that can only mean one thing. Matthew Baldwin is being held hostage on a secluded island, with no access to a keyboard, and enemy forces on all sides.

That or he’s playing, like, the world’s longest game of Werewolf with an inconceivably large group of friends. (So two things, I guess. It could mean one of two things.)

Anyway, Rob of Cockeyed has assembled a crack team of Internet search-and-rescue operatives:

I will be hiding here in my closet, in case the bad guys are coming for me next.

As for you Matthew, you stay alive. No matter how far, how long it takes…

We will find you.
