Teresa Williamson is one of the most inspiring women of San Francisco. She's the co-founder of…read moreTangoDiva.com and her first book Fly Solo is a must for every woman who wants to travel or was too scare to travel alone. Quote Teresa, "I wanted to empower women to travel" and her website does just that. You can view and read what other Divas think of places they've been from Greece to Haiti to Florida. The website always lists latest travel deals which is a plus. The women and some men I've met through Tango Diva have been inspiring, positive, and very helpful. I went to Teresa's book signing in SF and she said that TangoDiva.com is about to close their doors on open registration within the next month. So sign up quick.

What's really going on in the Bay Area? Most people look to SFGate.com or the Chronicle. In this…read moreday and age of instant information, most doubt how much information is available in a weekly local publication. Hands down, this newspaper has the pulse on the business environment of the Bay Area, with a heavy emphasis to San Francisco. Subscribing for over fifteen years, my workplace is a loyal customer to this great information source. Whether reading about what new businesses or projects are in the area to finding out what homes are selling for in the various Bay Area counties, SF Business Times keeps you on top of the area news. Whether you are in marketing, real estate, finance, or just nosy about what's going on, there's always some information that makes you say, "Gee, that's interesting!" Also, full props to their customer service staff in sending me missing issues (still not sure if it's my mailman or my coworkers) - likely suspects!). Unlike the "other" paper, I don't need to run to a newsstand and pay for another copy. Check this periodical out!

As a big fan of information, Knowledge is Power, I was very impressed with the "Read to Succeed…read moreSeminar" I attended at this publication's office. I know the title smacks of a literacy program, but it was actually an informative meeting on how to read the weekly publication to expand on networking and marketing. In these uncertain economic times, newspapers and jobs are falling by the wayside. Judd Walsh opened my eyes on ways to utilize many of the great sections to find sales leads, build market intelligence, and prospecting. He gave great tips and suggestions. Some of the most valuable info in the SFBT is in the form of "The Lists" published weekly and then at the end of the year in a large compendium. These "Listings" cover topics such as "Best Places to Work in the Bay Area" to The Top Wineries. Event announcements and articles on the different industries are excellent resources. I am now going to subscribe to the newspaper. Thanks to Veronica and also the gentleman that gave me a copy of 2009 Zagat Guide.

Juxtapoz is my favorite magazine and the only one I subscribe to. I have well over three milkcrates…read morefull of issues. (It's hard to say exactly how many issues I have; they're oftentimes all mixed up with other printed matter.) Started by legendary artist Robert Williams in 1994 Juxtapoz covers all kinds of low-brow, graffiti, street art, comics, custom cars, tattoo and outsider art. I don't know how many years I've subscribed but it's been many. And though they've cut back from monthly issues to fatter digest sized quarterlies, there's never a question of reupping when I get that notice saying my subscription is about to run out. (I've even shelled out a bit extra for the subscription and a T-shirt deal Jux used to offer with an impressive array of designs from different artists to choose from.) Juxtapoz features outstanding photography, in-depth interviews, often from people who've known their interviewees for a very long time, guides to cities that go beyond the usual touristy stuff, advice for up and coming artists, the lowdown on the latest art books and a heads up on mural festivals. Sometimes there's a discernable theme covered in an editor's letter at the beginning and sometimes I can't see a thread between that issue's featured artists but it's fascinating nonetheless. I could try to name drop a sample list of some of the artists that have been featured in Juxtapoz but it just seems gratuitous and obnoxious. It would go on for a couple paragraphs worth of text at least and later I'd be kicking myself that I forgot so and so. I've learned about hundreds of artists on account of this magazine. If you're at all into non-stodgy contemporary art you really can't go wrong with Juxtapoz.

Did you know that Juxtapoz is 3rd best selling art magazine?…read more It must be true because Robert Williams told me that himself. I love Juxtapoz because: "It keeps applying pressure to the conventional art world- it keeps pressing on those gates." RW Once upon a time all the french impressionists got laughed out of town. They pretty much died penniless and today we consider them masters. One day we will look back on graffiti in much the same way. NO not every tagger is an artist, but not every sprayer is a criminal. Graffiti is not low-class or low-brow. Twist has a piece hanging in MOMA. Juxtapoz is a magazine for people that don't give a rats a$$ that their art doesent match their sofa. You better recognize!
