This post ends with a beautiful poem set in Frans Sans

OUTSIDE MY LIFE, INSIDE THE DREAM.

FALLING UP THE STAIRS, INTO THE STREET.

LET THE CABLE CAR CARRY ME.

STRAIGHT OUT OF TOWN, INTO THE SEA.

PAST THE DAHLIAS AND THE SELF-DRIVING CARS.

THE CHURCH OF 8 WHEELS. THE LOWER HAIGHT BARS.

THE PEAK HOUR SPRAWL. THE KIDS IN THE PARK.

THE SLANTING HOUSES. THE BAY AFTER DARK.

MY WINDOW, MY OWN SILVER SCREEN.

I FOLLOW WHERE THE FOG TAKES ME.

By MADDY CARRUCAN


I moved to SF this year and I love this poem.

Q: is the church of 8 wheels really a popular destination? Or is this the poet's bias towards the haight and hayes areas?

For me, Mission Dolores represents "classic SF" and is the area I'm fondest of -- and contrarily, the Salesforce Park and the surrounding area is the pinnacle of tech & capitalism (and b2b saas.)


IMO they win just by making me (and you) think of it in this way. I don't think they are looking at it from a political leadership perspective, but rather from a cultural/research angle. As a father of 3 teenagers I find their take very convincing. And off course before the kids my views on many issues were much more liberal


Yes - I'm fairly culturally conservative, but very much don't support the (so-called) conservative political leaders basically anywhere.


Why do you say "of course"? Having kids pushed me more liberal, school funding and curriculum issues being the wedges, but seeing lots of kids and families sure helped.




I really liked it and added a variable speed argument: https://github.com/santinic/audiblez/pull/4





Will you consider overseas remote employees?


I tried to send you an email to [email protected], but this address doesn't work - "We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (jobs.europe) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group"


Weird, worked for me; will fix. In the meantime please forward your email to [email protected] - thanks!
