One of the rooms in my apartment just opened up, and I’m considering either finding a new roommate or making the room available as a share for people who visit SF often and would prefer to have a furnished room in SF that they can use a few days to a week a month for less than they’d spend on one night in a hotel room.
If that’s of interest, or if you know someone looking for an apartment, read on…
If you or an equally awesome friend is looking for an apartment in San Francisco (starting mid August to Sept 1), a room is about to open up in my apartment. It’s a three bedroom in San Francisco that I share with two other people, and one of them (Jenny) is starting grad school and moving into school housing.
In Duboce Triangle (seriously great, super walkable neighborhood with tree-lined streets, and lots of places to eat.) A quick walk to the Lower Haight or Castro. 2 blocks from Duboce Park (swell dog park — and the apt itself is dog-friendly.) Within 3 blocks, you’ll find burritos, burgers, vietnamese and chinese, bars, a gym, and a 24-hour Safeway (grocery store)
Washer and Dryer in unit.
Shared Kitchen + living room + bathroom
2 blocks from the Church St. MUNI (K,M,T) and N-Judah, J-Church, F-Market, and 22.
$550/month. (Yes this is the insane part. It’s rent controlled because my other roommate has been there for a while.)
p.s. If you’re interested in the share idea, drop me a line. I have one person interested so far, and it’d be around $100-200/month.
I’m fearful that it will start ridiculously early. (But glad that Piers took my suggestion and booked the Swedish American Hall, which is only a block away from my apt!)
Jelly, the casual coworking event I started with my friend Luke a couple years ago continues to spread. We’ve got 11 events coming up in the next few weeks! Here’s the rundown:
Plutopia at SXSW - Join us at SXSWi in Austin and meet fellow Jelly-ers at this EFF-sponsored event!
24 Hours of Jelly: On March 14th, 2008, we’ll be hosting Jellies all around the world! Find a Jelly taking part near you, or start your own. Includes: Houston, Dallas, Birmingham, Sydney, New York, and San Francisco.
I’ll be at the San Francisco Jelly this Friday. Hope to see you there. (It’s our first!)
This person will be helping with our newsletter, an upcoming book, and all sorts of other awesome photography-related projects. They’ll learn all about spreading ideas online, and building products, etc.
It’s gonna be a really cool position, and I’m hoping to find someone awesome that can grow with us.
Please spread the word to anyone in San Francisco who might be interested or might know someone who is.
My pal Jesse and I want to cook more often, so we’re starting a casual cooking club. Once a week (or so) we’ll get together and make some food. Nothing fancy, location varies, you can come help.
In you’re in SF and want to come over and cook (or host a casual cooking night), let me know!
I had lunch with Ben Stein, a producer at Current TV today. Before we left, I stuck a camera in his face without warning and asked him to show me around. I think he did pretty great!
I’ll be running HalfBaked.com at MobileCampSF this Saturday at 11:30. I’m looking for one more judge if you happen to know someone doing awesome mobile work.
So far, we have:
Jed Stremel, Head of Mobile at Facebook
Doug Garland, Exec in Residence at Kleiner Perkins and former SVP of Mobile at Yahoo!
The event’s sort of like entrepreneurial improve theater. :) Here’s a description.
Finally, Jelly in Atlanta had its first event last week, and in the past few weeks there’s been interest from people in Denver, Chicago, Singapore, Sydney, Portsmouth, Portland, Hawaii, Hartford, Tel Aviv, Tampa Bay, LA, and San Francisco! (See wiki.workatjelly.com for more)
Help spread the word to your friends in these cities!
I’ll be in San Francisco and the valley tomorrow through Wednesday. Going to Noah’s Community Next Platform conference on Facebook Friday and Saturday, moving some stuff to my apartment, and meeting folks (including Kevin Smokler of BookTour about a San Francisco Jelly).
My friend Ben Lerer and his buddies run a city-based email newsletter for guys. Kind of like an edgier, meaner version of Daily Candy. It’s daily and finds cool nuggets about your city.
His latest project is Photojojo. If you like photography, you will like Photojojo.
Before Photojojo, he was a founder of The Daily Jolt, an online community on 100 college campuses, helped create a non-profit called ChangeThis with Seth Godin, and brought the technology un-conference BarCamp to NYC. He also started a weekly casual coworking session called Jelly.
And he's consulted for companies such as Pearson, Apple, and Creative Good and co-authored The Big Moo, a WSJ best-seller, with Seth Godin, Malcolm Gladwell, Guy Kawasaki, Tom Peters, and others.
Just a quick note — I’ll be
