The microclimates of San Francisco

By Matthew Rutledge on 11/05/2009

I wish there were a more tech­nical, perhaps more modern analysis of San Francisco’s micro­cli­mates, but this is all I could find in visual form.  The temper­at­ure descrip­tions are relat­ive to the area’s over­all climactic patterns — in my estim­a­tion, “moder­ate” means prob­ably above 72F for the high in summer, “cool” means below 68F. “Hot” is prob­ably in the 74-76F range.

To exper­i­ence the sunni­est and warmest summers in San Francisco, the obvi­ous neigh­bor­hoods to live in are the Excelsior District, ..read more

Not just any friend, but the only one I’ve truly made since I moved back to Austin, the only person new in my life for at least the past several months, a friend who I know I’ll keep up with ..read more

Monday’s sad mini-mixtape

By Matthew Rutledge on 06/29/2009

I haven’t been feel­ing it, well, for a very long time, but espe­cially today.  If I could be anywhere right now, it would be in San Francisco with Nate (and walk­ing Pete’s dog Dudley). I have been depressed for YEARS now. Years. Because I’ve been in places I know I don’t belong. So why is it so hard to get back?
