I miss cassette tapes. Maybe that's why I was first attracted to Diana Miller's I Listen To Everything blog. She rocks the mixtape imagery.
So Diana hooked me with the mix-tape but she keeps me with her great recommendations that run the gamut and get me out of my music rut. Do you listen to everything? No? Well, you should.
As a sidenote, writing this post makes me nostalgic for imeem and the Cassettepus. It made for a great mobile icon...
...and an even better cake. Long live Cassettepus!

In San Francisco, one of the toughest places in the country to find a place to live, more than 31,000 housing units — one of every 12 — now sit vacant, according to recently released census data. That’s the highest vacancy rate in the region, and a 70 percent increase from a decade ago.
Every economics student in the world knows this, but sometimes it just bares repeating: rent control does not work. Click through to read Elizabeth Lesly Stevens' compelling piece profiling landlord Wayne Koniuk to illustrate just how badly rent control fails.
In the upcoming San Francisco Mayoral race I truly hope we can make this a real topic of discussion. I am sure we can find a way to protect the vulnerable and private property at the same time.

Very easy to set up even for a non-geek. TypePad’s functionality is a subset of WordPress’ but within that subset TypePad is easier to use.

Dave Barnhart lays it out simply and in his typical straight-forward manner. There are many choices for creating and maintaining your online presence so it makes sense to really consider your choices and to think about exactly what you want from your blog.
TypePad is great for many reasons and many uses. WP.com is good for others and WP.org for others still. Dave doesn't get into Posterous, Blogger, Tumblr or others... but his approach is spot on. Think about what you need and make an informed choice.
If you're looking for ease-of-use, rock-solid stability, real support (from *gasp* real people who *gasp* will answer your email) and no questions about who decides which ads run where then TypePad is the choice for you.
At the moment, I'm preparing to attend Blogworld with some of my colleagues from SAY. This was a great read for preparing to walk those halls.

As the father of a young girl I see a fair number of princesses and tend not to pay no never mind... this set, however, got my attention. Too bad William couldn't find a pair of shoulder thingees (yes, I believe that's the official term).
