CA people: Things to do in SF?

I have a friend who will be flying to SF for a week(?) starting tomorrow. Anything interesting going on what I should notify her of? Art, theater and the like?

Adventures in Data Visualization (or: Why Brad is Like That Sometimes)

For the last year I've been keeping a log of when I sleep. It hasn't been perfect, but I've managed to note roughly when I went to bed (by which I mean was about to lose conciousness) and when I got up, including any fits of insomnia in between for 302 of the last 365 days, and have cobbled together some scripting that allows me to graph the results.

( Pretty pictures and analysis below the cut )

The thing is, I don't see this changing my lifestyle much. The dilemma has always been that in order to get more sleep, I'd have to either drop something else from my life, which I'm not really willing to do, or have greater control than I've historically had over things like like insomnia/hyperactivity.

That said, I've noticed that with the decrease in stress at my job, I've needed less cope to get by. Whaddayaknow. Will try to do a more comprehensive State of The Me soon. For now: Life is pretty good on the whole, though I'm sick and tired (literally, not figuratively) at the moment. If me from just five years ago could have seen me now... wow, it would be a trip, I think. Things are different. Sometimes scary, but mostly I'm enjoying the ride.

For all y'all into that kinetic typography stuff...

The Mountain Goats do it low-tech, yo. And daaaaaamn.

And to think there are days when I think I'm a creative person... O.o
