Fireside Chat with Mayor Lee: Today the Mayor's in the house...
Today the Mayor's in the house to answer some finely tuned questions from the BoS. Newest Supe Olague wants to know what's happening now that the Redevelopment Agency has been dissolved - specifically, how will community voices still be heard without a lot of staff or resources. Sup. Avalos wants to increase his district's green space and green canopy, and asks the status of the Alemany Street Greening Project. As expected, the Mayor will have some carefully prepared answers, so we'll fill you in on his responses tomorrow. [SF Gov, Photo: Office of the Mayor]

Calculate This: HP 12C 30th Anniversary Today
Ok so my son, who is studying engineering in college, texts me a trivia question this morning: “What is so important about today? You have 5 minutes.” Of course I see this a no brainer since he’s in engineering – my answer: It’s the 30th anniversary of the HP 12C calculator today! (It actually is) “No”, he corrected me, “it is the start of WWII“. Of course I’m thinking Pearl Harbor and December 7th but that’s only the US entry point.
Where’s reverse polish notation (RPN) when you need it?
This year I reluctantly retired my HP 12C after 25 years of loyal service. I bought one in 1986 when we launched our appraisal firm Miller Samuel. Since 1986 I’ve only changed the battery once, its logo fell off, 3 footpads are missing, there was gunk on the screen and lots of dents in the metal. However, it had done billions of dollars in calculations and was a great thing to have handy at all times.
I eventually got an HP 12C app for my laptop and one for my iPhone and iPad. The built-in calculator for macs now has a setting for RPN -> think “1 enter, 1 +” instead of “1 + 1 =”
Earlier this year, several number buttons wouldn’t work without pressing very hard, so I eventually made the painful decision to replace it. I even considered dragging my new model behind my car for a few miles to break it in, like stone washing a pair of new jeans.
Ok, back to work.

Sad news from Sacramento today. State parks officials announced that they'll be closing 70 out of 270 parks because of the state budget deficit, including Tomales Bay and the governor's mansion, Sacramento Bee reports. The California State Park System decided which parks to close based on "attendance rates and historical significance." [SacBee/SFist]
