Muni Vine: Enter subway. Exit tunnel.

Have you heard of Vine? It’s the latest, greatest Internetsy thing sweeping the nation world since … a couple weeks ago.

The idea is that Vine hosts six second-long cinematic wonders that display on loop. And since Vine is a Twitter product, errybody gets to marvel at your hard work. It’s iOS-only now, so if you have an Android or mobile device that isn’t Apple, you’ll just have to wait.

What do you think? Likey? No likey?

The Super Bowl is tomorrow. The San Francisco 49ers will play some football team or another in the Super Bowl. You will probably watch the game on TV, because you either a) are a 49ers fan, b) love commercials, c) both, d) are laid up in bed with that flu that’s going around, and have no choice but to watch the Super Bowl. Wait, are we allowed to write “Super Bowl”? I guess we have to hope so.

Sundown at Powell Station

Reader Gregory just brightened my day.

I came across this scene while walking through Powell station en route to the Ferry Building. I decided to pass through the station instead of walking the well-trodden and energetic Market Street. The energy underground is much different. Bright florescent lights leave nothing uncovered, and the corridors echo the voices and whispers of those passing though.

From a hundred steps away I heard the soothing notes of a trumpet player and his mp3 orchestra. And as I turned the corner, this is what I saw.

Anyone know more about this trumpet player?
