"5 million dollar home" sells for 80 bucks
The Crumpler Bags store in San Francisco is selling an $80 camera case that's loaded with pockets, flaps, straps, and other features.
For some perverse reason, Crumpler calls this bag the "5 million dollar home." I have a camera, so I could live with that.
I just couldn't live in it.

The "F" word
No, not that word.
The other overused word that begins with the sixth letter of the alphabet: FREE.
The San Francisco Really Really Free Market (RRFM) meets on the final Saturday of the month at Dolores Park near 19th and Dolores streets. (It moves to an indoor location on rainy days.)
The market functions as a potluck. Bring things you want to give away, and take things you need. Everything is free. Which you likely guessed from the name of the event, right? Complete details are here.
RRFMs occur across the U.S. and around the world. Check the list.
