21 August 2010Playground related shootings in San Francisco
20 August 2010jwz took issue with police calling any shooting in the area of a club a “club related shooting” and trying to stick clubs with the cost of stepped-up enforcement. I meant, when I read his article, to start cataloging shootings in San Francisco and trying to find another nearby “cause”; today’s high-profile non-double shooting reminded me I needed to peek in. SFGate only gives an intersection, but Google Street View shows both of them to be next to playgrounds (the St Marys Playground and the Minnie and Lovie Ward Recreation Center). I was hoping to find a windmill in both; no such luck.

16 August 2010Blame cable tv (or lack thereof)

Public data sources
21 June 2010Using a popular public data scouring engine, I found that I’ve lived in:
Durango
Farmersburg, IN
Brazoria, TX
and I’m related to:
Ethan W Jones
Amy N Jones
I find the quality of the data they purport to sell questionable; I’ve never lived in those places and I’m not related to those people.
Also of note, they missed several cities I actually did live in.
