Looks like a great view and I love places with classier menus but relaxed dress codes. The older I get, the less I want to care about looking fancy just to eat.

Thank you for the complement and you are welcome, but she was referring to a different photograph. I only first published this one on Sunday. Perhaps she was talking about this? It is another Sutro Tower shot from the same evening as this one. All trip articles are available under the SFO2013 category, located at the bottom of each post (below comments). Similarly, all trip photographs are added to the SFO2013 collection on Flickr. Thanks again!

Ah, that's the picture your mom was talking about Friday night. Thanks for putting it in a place where I could easily see it. You have an artists eye and the technological knowledge to make it evident!

It really was a lot of fun. You and Thom should definitely go check out 3 Fish Studios. Tell Eric and Annie that I sent you!

I understand the feeling. I always objected to the comment "return to the real world" What if the vacation was the real world? Why not?

Looking forward to the stories and images of the trip.

Please check your research on the name of the chief desigb engineer. It was Furman L. Anderson, Jr. He was the engineer that designed Sutro and was the VP of Kline Towers until his retirement 20 year ago.

@Stephanie

The tower is painted continuously to protect the steel from rust and corrosion, however the factory painted siding has faded over the years. No official word yet on when the siding may be given a refresh.

Cool site, didn't see a mention of the cover of Chuck Prophet's Temple Beautiful album which prominently features Sutro Tower, still looking for a Temple Beautiful page with the same level of detail as this.

Comment on The Application Toolbox by David July

CDBurnerXP is fully compatible with Windows 7 32/64. Windows 7 has decent built-in support for ISO burning and general disc authoring, but I still use CDBurnerXP to burn just about everything.

One of the best features is the ability to save project files. I built a presentation disc for the Second Judicial Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program and saved it as a project. This way, when they request additional discs be made, all I have to do is open the project and burn away.

Do you have a recommended Windows 7 replacement for CDBurnerXP? My computers have always come with decent software for copying CDs and DVDs, but my new one did not.

I recently found these two free utilities useful. Network Activity Indicator for Windows 7 I went looking for the old "two monitors" network activity icon in Windows 7 and discovered it was removed. Fortunately, Igor Tolmachev wrote a small, free utility to provide that functionality (as well as statistics and shortcuts to network settings). inSSIDer I needed a Wi-Fi scanning and analysis program since the one I had been using was not working. inSSIDer by MetaGeek is an open-source tool to scan access points, compare channels and security, measure signal strength and help improve quality of service.

Sutro Tower needs a paint job! How often does the tower get a touch up? It's about time for a refresh.

Just used this for a client – new server, CSC still had references to the old server for users that had logged on once and offline files were present.

Dropping this csccmd.exe into a directory then running a login script to delete the reference solved the constant popups about not synchronized/working offline.

Thanks!

Comment on The Hand Soap Quandary by Bill Brikiatis

Have you ever tried using a soap with water from a rain barrel. It's quite different because the water doesn't have any chemicals in it. I tried washing my hands with water from my rain reserve downspout diverter and rain barrel and the soap smelled different and produced much more suds, probably because it was softer than my tap water. Try washing your hands with rain water some time, just for the fun of it.

@Gerard Livernois This SFGate blog post contains an image from the 18 November 1971 issue of the San Francisco Examiner, which contains a Sutro Tower design plan matching your description.
