In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me.
Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

See how this site looked in 1998
and how the place looked in 2000.
Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!
The internets have come a long way, baby...

SF Mayoral Candidates' Voight-Kampff Empathy Test
|
|
Deckard: She's a replicant.
Tyrell: I'm impressed, Mr. Deckard. How many questions does it normally take?
Deckard: I don't get it...
Tyrell: How many?
Deckard: Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced.
Tyrell: But with Rachael it took more than a hundred.
Deckard: She doesn't know.
Tyrell: She is beginning to suspect I think.
Deckard: Beginning to suspect? How can it not know what it is?
-Blade Runner (1982)
Someone at The Wave magazine came up with the idea to give the San Francisco mayoral candidates the Voight-Kampff empathy test from Blade Runner. The results are pretty amusing. Only Ammiano figured out what was going on. Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom for Gavin Newsom's test. (Courtesy of Andy.)Labels: gavinnewsom, sanfrancisco, sf
