3D City: Beeautiful People


3D City is a year long stereoscopic photography project by Doctor Popular

Jei Cheetah, seen above rocking a two handed yo-yo routine, has been a regular at the yearly Bay Area Classic competition in Golden Gate Park. There aren’t many furries competing at yo-yo competitions these days, but I’m kind of hoping this is a trend we’ll see grow. Not just in yo-yoing… table tennis, climbing, skiing, everywhere. Put a fuzzy red fox suit on a pitcher and I bet it’d make baseball more fun to watch.

More “beeautiful” people after the bump (more…)

Happy Father’s Day, cool dads!

To celebrate, let’s take a look back at our famous “Cool Dads” post from 5 years ago. Here it is, along with its star-studded comments section:

Hipster-related comment of the week, courtesy of Aaron Mayfield-Sunshine:

hipsters cannot be 30 or 40 something. 32 is the max! after that you become a cool dad.

    Our first child is due 2 days before my 32nd birthday. So, uh, apparently.

  2. zinzin says:

    i waited till i was 38. what happened to me in the middle there? 6 years in stereotype limbo. explains some things….

  3. kiya says:

    This means i’ve got exactly 7 months left before i’m not longer a hipster?
    How can i become a “cool dad” without any children?

  4. zinzin says:

    you can borrow mine for an afternoon if you like. prefers organic fruit, listens to the ramones, likes to draw pictures. makes for a pleasant time….

  5. johnny0 says:

    So does your kid actually have to be able to indicate you are a cool dad with words, or does a 6 month old’s giant giggling smile suffice?

  6. johnny0 says:

    zinzin, I like that idea — we can trick the aging hipsters into providing us cool dads with child care…

  7. johnny0 says:

    I am saddened by the lack of “cool dad” references in this story.

    Cool dads are the only way new hipsters get created. We are the future!

 

Mystery gunk

Saw this on the wall of the portable men’s room at SoMa StrEat Food Park, and I thought Ariel could maybe work a little magic on it, like that time I ate a cigar.

The TOTALLY BLINDING window display at Artists’ Television Access right now

Ouch! This is the only way I can look at it because it literally burns the naked eye. But even this photo hurts! OUCH!

SMITHSFITS Saturday!

I know everyone’s already planning on getting real evil tonight, what with the full moon and Friday the 13th super fun combo and everything, but be sure to save some of that sin for tomorrow. And please, for the love of god, watch out for werewolves wearing hockey masks.

You’ve been warned.

From One Day in SF

On April 26th over a hundred local filmmakers took their cameras to the streets to document life in San Francisco over a 24 hour period. It was part of a new doc series from the people who made the feature length documentary One Day on Earth. One Day in SF was produced by local filmmaker Winnie Wong, and on the same day filmmakers in ten other cities around the US were participating simultaneously. I was out there with the BAYCAT crew, interviewing people in front of the Roxie and at The Secret Alley. The One Day on Earth team is putting all the pieces together for a 3-part documentary series that we’ll be hearing more about later in the year. You can see the locations of everyone’s videos and watch them on the interactive map, and I’ve included some selections below, mostly Mission-based.

Kind of has a perfect opening line:
