Remember the Vimeo vid on slow Venice? Here’s a Paris version, similar in both concept and music. Fodder for your end-of-the-workweek daydreams.

Seven Ways to Love San Francisco's Museums
Far from the stuffy, sterile elitism that the word "museum" traditionally evokes, San Francisco is home to some of the most vibrant, interactive and – dare we say? – fun museums around. For decades, SF's museums have focused on accessible engagement with art, science, discovery and history. The recent closing of the Museum of Craft and Folk Art inspired us here at…
I enjoy museums as places to read, absorb, and pique my curiosity as well as stoke my love of learning. (They appeal to the introvert in me.) My favorite Bay Area museum may actually be the San Jose Museum of Art ... it's small, but well curated, fun, informative, and down-to-earth in its presentation. Plus its exhibitions program draws big names (Calder, Mapplethorpe, and now Leibovitz coming up).
Spotted SF / Mission / Salumeria
A fairly novel addition to the quieter part of the Mission, this shop offers a great variety of house made salumi, prosciuttos, cheese, other complimentary items + a daily selection of fresh made pastas from nearby Flour + Water. A chalkboard menu also lists the fresh sandwiches and salads of the day. I was torn between ordering a salumi or a cheese plate (as they're separate), but a sweet gentleman kindly offered to help me pick out a cheese and have it sliced up if I picked the salumi mix.
Mouthwatering photos. I'm excited to buy some fresh pasta and start experimenting with my family. The cocoa cavatelli is particularly intriguing!

Are You a Handwriter or a Typer?
Handwriting is like making love; typing, like having sex. It’s essentially the same enjoyable activity, but the approach is slightly different.
Haha, that's a doozy of an opener! But I can identify with this. I like handwriting and typing for different reasons—the latter when I have a lot on my mind to sort through, a lot that I just want to get down on paper (or Word, as it were) and organize, and the former when I want to ponder life a bit. When I write a letter by hand, I find my thoughts slowing down to a pace where my pen can more or less keep up.
