Today saw the opening of a smart new Bike Station at 2208 Shattuck Avenue, the result of a partnership between the city and BART, as well as community biking organizations.

The station, which was five years in … Continue reading »

Though horror has always been one of my favorite genres, 2007’s well-reviewed Spanish chiller [Rec] passed me by, probably because it went straight to DVD in the US. A huge hit in its native land, [Rec] was remade in 2008 for subtitle-shy Anglophones as Quarantine (and no, I haven’t seen that one, either), and has now spawned a second film, the imaginatively titled [Rec] 2. IMDb hints that further sequels loom: it appears a new franchise … Continue reading »
