Very true...

280 North from a trailer's windows (wipers)? That looks like a bridge/overpass. Below is a (red) traffic light I think. Given there aren't any other cars, it probably isn't the Bay Bridge. Also there is a section on 280N where it conjoins/merges. The large pillar indicates the lower deck, which is north bound. I'm still confused about the direction of the windows, unless they are side windows with wipers. If I was at a computer, I guess I could download the image and look at the geo meta data too... Edit: given the distance from the overpass/bridge, maybe this is from a parking garage or nearby hill?
3/4G antennas to keep up with all the Netflix and Youtube streaming going on inside the trailer, or boat.
Not 280, there are no tall buildings along 280, are there?
Dexter Lau - serious detective work there, but the mystery is in the foreground, not the background :)
For the curious the background is the 880 overpass at Adeline.
Interesting Christmas lights?
A try to use some Chromecasts on Windows?
Those are multiple cellular data dongles, mounted on the bus windshield, and all feeding into a combined, high-bandwidth wifi hotspot on the bus.
The photo size seems to be slightly cropped and zoom used. The orientation relative to the road suggests this is facing forwards and the lack of a driver in the photo indicates a large windscreen, maybe a coach/bus where he/she is sitting lower relative to the passengers?
As to the rectangular boxes... looks like they were stuck on with adhesive, as the right hand side ones looks like they're becoming badly unstuck! They also look electrical as they're all connected up with what appears to be wiring. Maybe those electronic LED signs showing locations, perhaps destinations?
Vitor Rodrigues and Christiaan Adams got it right! You see 14 3G/4G usb data dongles connected to a wifi access point inside a bus. Now you can truly underestimate the bandwidth of a bus full of tapes (and usb sticks).
And thanks to CircleCount for the lolz.. Chromecast on windows indeed :)
I'm Sure that's not your bus .... but there are more elegant installation methods to achieve that goal :)
Listening to the new Deltron 3030 Album. I'm not disappointed.

Folks in the Bay Area can catch an in-store appearance at Amoeba records in San Francisco today at 5pm.
Here's an interesting site documenting a startup's move from San Francisco to Oakland.

Here's an interesting site documenting a startup's move from San Francisco to Oakland.
That's a really great site, thanks for sharing. I know that folks are concerned -- and rightly so -- about rents going if tech companies move over here, but I'd say the positives far outweigh the negatives. Welcome to the sunny side, Clef!
Yep, very true... but I'm still of the mindset that Oakland needs all the income it can get, and if the price of that is an increase in rents, well...
Then again, I'm not renting, so it's easy for me to say that. :P
Didn't mean to turn the discussion about the Oakland.is site into a forum on housing prices. That site has a lot of other interesting bits, such as when the writers realize that moving here means less focus on VC funding & more emphasis on product quality & usability. Well worth a read.
This is going to be a huge, positive change.

Been enjoying sludge-free french press coffee ever since we replaced our old Bodum press with the new Espro press.

Been enjoying sludge-free french press coffee ever since we replaced our old Bodum press with the new Espro press. It uses double gold filters to make a truly smooth brew. Highly recommended.
Here's nifty demo from the folks at Tested and you can find them at Williams-Sonoma
Have you tried the Aero press?
Scott McMullan -- haven't tried the Aero press yet so I can't say how it compares..
I'll try to remember to bring my aero by for you to test! It's been going unused of late as I've been eliminating caffeine as a test...
gold filters? Why gold? That seems like snake oil to me. (fine sure - but gold?!)
