“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

I’ve really been enjoying the Savage Chickens cartoon for awhile now. From the website:

“When I was a kid, I wanted more than anything to be a cartoonist…Like a lot of people do, I lost track of that childhood dream somewhere along the way, and I found myself working in an office instead, doing decidedly uncreative things…Savage Chickens began on a rainy day in October 2004 when, after one too many migraines, I scribbled two chickens on a sticky note. It was fun, so I kept drawing them and a few months later in January 2005, I posted them online in a blog.
…Today, I continue to push myself to keep drawing new things and to make the cartoons as fun as I can.”

I ran across this mural for The Children’s Hospital the other day on Guerrero St. in San Francisco. It’s a little creepy for a Children’s Hospital mural….

A rainy day on the flight deck of the USS Hornet in Alameda with the San Francisco skyline in the background.

 
You don’t have to be a skateboarder to appreciate this video!
“Extremities” is a video of skater Aryeh Kraus with 6 tiny Go Pro cameras attached to his body and 3 additional off-body cameras. One of the Go Pros is even attached below the skateboard deck.

Greetings from Chinatown, San Francisco where they take their corn very seriously!

As I start winding down my stay here in the Bay Area, I thought I’d start sharing some of my favorite things about San Francisco.  Today’s theme: Street Art.
