We have hit the stage where a man is wearing a hoodie in the Mission with the slogan on the back: "First level support is dead. We killed it." Plus a QR code.

Made a thing, except it only updates every 15 minutes.

Has anyone setup an eInk MUNI next bus screen at home? I have the hardware and am trying to figure out the best approach from a ton of different architectures.

Bunch of undercover SFPD just swarmed these two guys who were clearly tourists in a rental BMW. They walked away with their belongings while SFPD took their car.

You still have to enroll a bank card for CC, and tap on and off.

Just got my double arms pokes for the season, and it's already achy two hours later. Check in with me tomorrow...

It's probably going to drop some analytics SDK.

Seems they still have non-service animals running around a cafe. Would be a shame if DPH found out...again. www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurant…

I think the Chron has been publishing at least one crank per week on that.

Back on the full remote work train as of today! Guess I need to get my kitchen stocked back up.

I have it on my todolist. Check in with us tomorrow to say how heavy of a hitter it is this year

I'm sad if SFMTA actually licensed the logo for that ad.

Apparently they prioritize syncing the ferry when it is in service, but then switch to a 101 sync. But I get from your side of town the 101 makes way more sense. So party later?

Do I want to know why there are multiple big long haired white men with thin blue line shirts on this flight in first class with me?

I had to keep from laughing out loud in the Vegas Loop especially because they still have human drivers. The road is bumpy in the tunnel!

Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 22/09/2026
Surprising nobody, the bus is Vegas is faster than the monorail. But it costs the same price?

But my biggest gripe is Chinese restaurants that when I am actually dining in-house charge $4 for a big side of rice when I'd be very happy with a small complimentary cup for soaking up the sauce.

It's such an American thing to after breaking some minor law involving panhandling, double parking, or general antisocial behavior to end your statement with "God bless you." No thank you, I don't want anything to do with your god.

Maybe then you can charge for a half hour or whatever. California needs to lead the way with an open protocol for paying for and tracking your charging. But let's also do this for e-bikes.

Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 21/09/2026
The EV charging market is so fragmented. First you have to find a station with the right plug. Then you have to make sure it is available and not broken. Then half the time it requires some janky proprietary app with a sign up flow and manual card entry.

If I drop in my doordash data, I apparently like Alan Cumming while eating and it gets sillier. Correlation is definitely not causation.

We live in a time where I can ask the robots to correlate my McDonald's orders with my Spotify listening and ask it to make a "tweetable info graphic".

You should go to the food court during Dore or Folsom then.

My ops brain just exploded.

They do card you at the food court. Don't worry, I'll buy you Kirkland Signature Water anytime you want.

While us engineers are currently busy token maxxing, 100 years ago humans put a lighthouse at the bottom of this.

Even with a referral, as a former Googler, I failed the "Google Hiring Assessment" before even a human went in the loop. I guess I don't have "work-style skills which have been determined to be essential"

The SF Chronicle recently did a piece that is irresponsible reporting on exactly this.

The Clipper Customer service post-call survey asks you to rate things 1 to 10, with press 10 for satisfied.

Took forever, but I've now done the iron loop.

The Milpitas BART station is so new and nice but nothing like a man yelling "kill white people" at me over and over.

Doing an iron circle of the Bay today. Right now on VTA Rail for the first time ever, there are sooo many empty parking lots.

CAPTCHAs are getting really difficult. If I already have an account on your service and I am using a Passkey, just let me in!

Found out that a wine bar (Passages) is what is going into the old Two Jack's Nic's Place. As the first legacy business in SF, I was hoping something cool would replace it.

Kurt Nelson @kurt.nelson.fun · 28/08/2026
TIL: The BART expo fare now has a grace period of 30 minutes before it applies IF you are using open-loop or the newer physical media. If you're still on old media because that's the only thing that works on the Bike Share docks, you are SOL and have to call Clipper for the refund.

Rode it today for the first time. Great, except now we need to figure out how to keep the e-motorcycles from driving super speed down the middle.
