Cable car cable

One of San Francisco’s characteristic charms is the cable car. Mostly ridden by tourists, it is still one of the locals’ chosen commute methods.
What is striking about the cable car is that, well, it’s pulled by cables… still blows my mind! The cables run continuously under the street, sometimes making a ringing sound. 10pm on a weeknight at Hyde and Washington is a prime time to experience it.

Nice choice of intersection. I could totally see myself living on this corner.

At least now you’ll be fully prepared for the sound of the cable.

I’d send you a recording of the fish tank here in my office, but I have no way to record it. I’m sure you can find some other fish tank to post!

Ha! Well, the Zoom H2 is “only” about $180–200, but yeah, I couldn’t justify it until starting this project. Also popular (at work) is the Flip video camera, especially with Flickr’s new “long photograph” video feature.
