16th and 24th Street Stations Look The Same

I wrote a letter to BART today. If you believe the same, please comment here and write to BART

I notice that Powell station recently got new illuminated signage at the platform level. Its very nice and legible from inside the train.

I need to point out that the 16th and 24th street stations remain ENTIRELY indistinguishable from one another from inside the train. The stations look IDENTICAL to one another and the existing signage is hidden in shadow.

Please install signage at 16th and 24th St stations so a traveller can tell them apart.

Thank you,
Lee Sonko

One Punctuation Mark Away

A few years ago when Charlotte and I were in a Penzeys spice store, we came across this bumper sticker.

We’re not sure how large the young urban cannibal market is, but Penzeys has a lock on it ;-)

 

Love People. Cook them tasty food.

WordPress Plugins

Here’s a boring geeky list of what makes Lee.org run.

Currently disabled…
* Login Lock. Works but Google Authentication works better (I think)

* Social
* Twitter Tools
* WPBook Lite. I replaced these 3 with Twitterfeed this week.

* Spam Free WordPress – By  Todd Lahman, LLC  It helped decrease comment spams but my current solution is working better

* No Adverts for Friends    By  Donncha O Caoimh – it looks like it broke a while back :-(

* Maintenance Mode  By  Michael Wöhrer. Hangs in the wings in case of spam hack attack or something.

No New Mail!

I haven’t seen this phrase in months. It brings me a great sense of calm.

Accepted into CCSF DMI Program!

 

Now the big question:

Do I go for it or try to get accepted into an Occupational Therapy Master’s program at Samuel Merritt University / San Jose State University? I won’t know if I’m accepted into either of those programs til February or March.

What do I want? What can I get? What is achievable? What will bring me the most happiness?

My SF Todo List

Where do you think I should go in San Francisco? What do you think I should do? What restaurant to dine at? What mountain to climb? Please add to this list!

When I tell friends where I am, they wax poetic and start telling me where I -have- to go! It’s far less fun to go to such places alone so I look forward to friends buzzing me up and asking to go out [hint hint!]

Welcome Back Twitter Readers

Apparently my Twitter feed broke in late September. Well, I just fixed it. So all you twitts will now see my blog posts in my Twitter feed, @LeeSonko

I switched from using the TwitterTools WordPress plugin to using TwitterFeed.

Tried to Catch Up on Twitter…

I tried to catch up with my friends on Twitter today. All I have to say is:

If the internet is like a library with all the books strewn about, then Twitter is like doing whip-its with all your friends at once… in a giant blender set to “Purée”. Ouchy.
