The List

Gear: Stealth Watch by Axcent

Stealth Watch by Axcent

Designed and crafted in Sweden, these old-school-slick timepieces sport solid stainless-steel casing, a genuine leather (black/white/brown) band, and a fat, glowing LED display in red or green. In keeping with Scandinavian no-nonsenseness, there're two buttons only, for time & date -- for the calculator function, look in front of the watch, and you should find ten fingers.

They're also up for sale at ScandanavianDetails.com

at Scandinavian Details; 364 Hayes St, at Gough; Hayes Valley; 415.552.1100 |

Eat: Jasmine Garden

Jasmine Garden

Formerly Will's Vietnamese, this mirror-lined cafe's trotting out a revamped look (Mini koi fountain? Check) and an expanded menu that includes starters like BBQ pork rolls and a poached shrimp-loaded papaya salad, plus mains from marinated wok-roasted crab to the watercress/tomato/red onion-topped filet mignon known as "Dancing Beef" (it narrowly defeated Slater on Dancing with the Steers).

TennisMaps

Right in time for summer, this GMap provides an aerial view of 276 SF tennis courts, with a legend indicating each one's particulars (public/private/lighting/backboard). Hovering over each gives you address/phone, while zooming in gets you close enough to literally see the lines and nets, or in the case of Bayview, not-nets.

Your court is waiting at TennisMaps.com

Watch: Bullitt Chase Geocoded

<i>Bullitt</i> Chase Geocoded

Witness the truth behind SF's most famous/geographically fanciful chase scene ever, as Steve McQueen's '68 Mustang route is juxtaposed against a "map". Beginning in Potrero, the action jumps through 7 'hoods before the bad guys crash and burn down by Monster Park -- a stadium where, if we're being accurate, it's mainly the good guys who crash and burn.

Gentlemen, start your engines
