Wanna Help Give Muni Diaries a New Look?

Leave a comment

We’re about to give Muni Diaries a new look, and we want to make sure you love it too! Please join the Muni Diaries testing pool and give us your two cents on the redesign survey.

Not to worry — it will be the same site, same idea (you tell us Muni stories, we share them with the world) — we just want to make the look of the site clean and lovely.

As a thank you, one lucky, randomly chosen survey respondent will receive a free drink ticket to the Make-Out Room for our spoken word event on April 23.

Thanks to all of you who voted for us for the SFWeekly Web Awards! Alas, we didn’t win, and had no idea we were going up against Golaiths like Twitter and Digg’s Kevin Rose, but we appreciate your votes! We saw how much you loved us in the leaked web tally page, so thank you, everyone!

A big congratulations is in order for our friends on the winners list: Broke Ass Stuart, Thomas Hawk, MissionMission, FunCheapSF (come see the man himself at our event later this month), Laughing Squid (who generously hosts us), and the wonderful CaliberSF.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…and don’t forget to send us your Muni stories and photos.

iPad, Muni, everyone, their mother

4 comments

Anyone who spent the tiniest amount of time online this weekend was surely bombarded with some combination of “iPad” … “Easter” … “iPad” … “iPad” … “Final Four.”

The more cynical of us are wondering if when the first iPad theft on Muni will happen. We know that iPhones were getting snatched out of people’s hands on the bus last year, so these lightweight, pricey iPads might be just begging to be lifted. In fact, Jim Herd of SF Citizen bet on tomorrow at 5 p.m. in his office pool. Good luck?

But reader Mary has just the solution for you young and oh-so-connected types: Yes, it’s the urban camouflage iPad case. Mary found this via Makezine.com (pictured above). Mary has this to say:

It’s such a funny combination of cheap, scruffy and old + shiny, new and expensive. I would totally use this to conceal my iPad (my hypothetical iPad) on Muni so no one steals it!

Because, really, what would-be thief would hover above you to see what you’re reading before yanking your Precious away from you?

Caltrain sleepcar?

From astute reader Andrew, who snapped this on Friday, the day a pedestrian fatality caused delays in the a.m. commute:

Spotted on the south-bound 210 on Friday morning. Snoring away. Obviously she’s not too worked up about delays related to the hit pedestrian (which was referred to on Caltrain info boards as an “obstruction”).

Got a story from Caltrain, Muni, or AC Transit? You know the drill: Submit your story here.
