iPo... I Mean Powell Station
02/06/06
I think it's funny walking around in Powell Station. This is the subway station near my new workplace downtown at the Union Square Sunglass Hut. However, it's also the stop closest to the Apple Store on Market Street. Every single ad space in Powell Station is an iPod ad. Every pillar, every poster, every banner. They are all iPods. This is kind of ironic because of the iPod situation of San Francisco. Basically everyone is San Francisco has heard of an iPod. There are three types of people here. The ones that own iPods (most). The ones that don't own an iPod because they have no use for it (like they drive to work or something like that). Or the ones that don't have one because they refuse to buy an iPod and instead have a competing product. So there is really no reason for Apple to spend so much on advertising up here.
Waterworks

Here is another picture from the Embarcadero Center. This is the fountain they have there (every real business center needs a fountain right?) It's a pretty neat fountain. I wanted to go up on the small overlook catwalk they have up there but of course its blocked off. However, water comes out of it and the square prism tubes are bent strangely.
