Leave a comment

ever wondered what the little hole in the seat on the MUNI is for?

Bhautik Joshi recently dropped these photos into our Muni Photos Flickr pool, and we instantly loved them. He says of the one above, “ever wondered what the little hole in the seat on Muni is for?” Yes, we have wondered what the little hole in the seat on Muni is for. What a pleasant way to find out the answer.

Photo Diary: Passion of the Muni

Passion of the Metro

This photo by Whole Wheat Toast belongs in some sort of imaginary Muni Museum (where clearly you use* your Clipper card for entry). Cool shot.

* free admission when DC not responding // the admission cops cite you or ask you to leave // something other than regular admission is deducted from your account, and your protest of a citation is tangled up in bureaucratic loopholes for months on end …

Weekend Photos: BART Edition

Remember what BART looks like when it’s not packed with protesters and riot police? Yeah, me neither. Local coverage of the protests has been comprehensive — check out SF Appeal’s round up. What are people outside of San Francisco saying about it? Here’s a good dose of BART news making national headlines.

  • Talk of the Nation episode all about new technology and free speech (NPR)
  • Anonymous to BART: We Hack, We Organize, Too (The New York Times)
  • Three Security Lessons From BART Anonymous Breach (Information Week)
  • FCC Reviews SF Subway Cell Shutdown (CNET)
  • Phone Cutoff Stirs Worry About Limit on Speech (Wall Street Journal)
  • San Francisco BART leak highlights hackers ethics split (Washington Post)
  • An oldie but still ok: Time Magazine’s Most Memorable Hacking Moments (Time)

The events of the last week and a half certainly provide an interesting and important discussion on technology, the law, and our expectations and rights. But the conversation seems to have gotten pretty far away from the shootings, the catalyst of it all.

I’m going to the mountains for a few days, but I’ll be back with three fun things to do next Friday!

And if you’ve enjoyed Muni Diaries this week, please vote for us in the San Francisco Weekly Web Awards! We’re going for 4. Best Public Transit Blog and 35. Wild Card (@munidiaries for best local Twitter feed). It’ll make us so happy.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Muni Monsters!

2 comments

We spotted this on the first day of school for many children. How appropriate.

We got in touch with Aaron Hartline, the Pixar animator who draws, places, and photographs the monsters around town. Here’s what Aaron said:

Muni monsters was inspired by taking a Muni ride across town after the Outside Lands concert this past weekend. I like posting strange lil’ characters looking at people stuck in everyday day life. The idea of these Muni monsters trying to understand these weird humans and their everyday rituals makes me smile.

One more …

More monsters can be found at The Daily Postit and @TheDailyPostit.
