I’ve been there: you pull up to a light with a sensor that only senses car-size objects, and the damn thing just won’t change. But is it really so hard to just cross the street? Or, I don’t know, push the walk button? If you’re in some kind of unimaginable traffic situation where neither is possible, then the VeloLoop is for you. It makes you look like a car to the traffic lights so they change. This would be better if it was a ambulance style strobe-light that caused lights to go green as you approached. But it’s not.

On a scale of one to full bike-dork, this has all of the pants clips.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
