Rick Owens has never been one to shy away from the extreme. His runway shows are virtually always a spectacle, having had his models do some undoubtedly odd and even questionable things over the years. For his latest, Owens instructed …

THANK YOU TIM GUNN! 

Every single thing he said was correct. Vogue is a laughingstock now, especially after putting the likes of a Kardashian on the cover, and Anna Wintour is simply doing too much.

 

And Heidi… girl… that dress! Did you lose a bet? Who hurt you?

 

 

Tell us how you really feel, Tim Gunn! The “Project Runway” mentor appears on “The Meredith Vieira Show” on Wednesday, where he doesn’t hold…

Not surprised. Vinyl is great. I was smart enough to never get rid of mine… all I need to do is fix my record player.

 

The vinyl resurgence is real, but artists are still getting screwed.

This is how ridiculous the start-up game gas gotten in SF. People are actually paying to take naps in pods at lunch time. Actual American $$$. 

Go home techie friends. Your drunk.

Well well well…..

The tech crunch is experiencing an interesting turn of events. Start-ups are now moving their customer support and other services out of the Bay Area because the costs are simply too damn high.

Not the higher end positions too much, but you know that’s next.

The only thing I wonder about is what happens when tech companies stop expanding in the Bay Area and folks flock elsewhere. Will the rents drop? Will the jobs lost be made up elsewhere? Will SF end up looking like a ghost town because the cool kids moved on to hipper, cheaper surroundings?

We’ll soon find out!

*LL- This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, it certainly isn’t to me. They are currently working on the back-end to enable new features and most times this requires a “dusting” of the site in full. I am surprised that all of this seems to be happening in prime time hours instead of late evening/night like most sites. Well… at least it’s not due to hacker attacks. One can hope…*

 

At about 12:00 p.m. PDT today (3:00 p.m. EDT), Facebook went down. This is the third time the social network has gone down this month.

Not surprised, I’ve heard this about him before.

Hmmm… Successfully ran his own biz for years and a pothead at the same time. How did he do it?

That… Was sarcasm. In case you didn’t “get” that…

You can chalk this up to “Only in SF”…

That being said I look forward to visiting once it’s open
