Just took a quick look at the website for Coda Automotive, upon learning that former Tesla Motors marketing director Darryl Siry has joined up. Coda is one of the more recent entrants into the growing EV market, and are attempting to bring an electrically propelled 4-door sedan to market for an MSRP of $45,000.
Unfortunately, as you can see from this gallery, the product is completely hideous. Say what you will about Tesla (Roadster, Model S), Fisker (Karma), and even GM (Volt)… at least they’ve figured out how to make their products desirable.

Tonight I finally made good on a long-standing promise to myself and ate at Mission Street Food. MSF is an organization that rents out a Chinese restaurant on Mission street every Thursday and Saturday in order to host a different guest chef every week. The extremely reasonable prices(i.e. most plates less than $10, and everything less than $15) and the $5 corkage fee make this a relatively cheap way to experience great food.

Tracey and I are in the last week of a 3-week “nutritional detox” program. The motivation here was to participate in something that would force us to think a little more about what (and when) we eat. I’ll be the first to admit that all two often, we fall back on whatever is easiest to prepare (or, let’s face it, order in) rather than giving careful consideration about what constitutes a nutritious, balanced meal.
The basic premise is Read the rest of this entry »

Regent Thai is located right in Noe Valley’s “Gourmet Ghetto”, a 5 or 10 minute walk from our house. Despite its proximity, we had never eaten there before today. This was due to a misremembered cleanliness score from the SF Department of Public Health; a situation resolved today by a quick, serendipitous visit to SFScores.com. Turns out that Regent most recently scored a stellar 98 out of 100; so as of this writing, there’s no need to worry about their food safety. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve finally taken the time to give this site some long-deserved TLC: I’ve updated to the newest version of WordPress (yay!), I’ve fixed LightBox (double yay!), and I’ve switched to a beautiful new theme by Matthew Browne of MB Web Design (ooooh…aaahh).
The only problem is that the site doesn’t look the same on both Macs and PC’s because I fell in love… with the Optima font. Although that font comes with every Mac, it’s nowhere to be found on the PC (because Microsoft’s too cheap to license it). Thus, PC users will have to bear the burden of reading these entries with slightly less attractive headings. The horror.
