Too adorable! Josh Kornbluth of KQED interviews Craig Newmark, and it's like watching two nerdy teddy bears have a conversation. Even an interruption by a clip of Josh with bunnies can't outcute Mr. Craigslist.

Craig has a very nice girlfriend, thank you

eHarmony wants Craig "'s List" Newmark to find true love — so badly that they failed to delete the account that he didn't even sign up for, after promising twice to do so. Craig tell us that he's "committed and happy, thx," but can we really blame eHarmony for assuming the casually geeky Craig needs some love in his life?

· Craig Newmark of Craig's List was spotted in the Target on Hesperian Boulevard yesterday and mobbed by rabid fans, one of whom accidentally whacked him over the head with a new Acer tablet PC. The tablet PC was unharmed.
· Berkeley voters, in an effort to make local government more demographically representative of their resident constituencies, elect three homeless alcoholics and two heroin dealers to the City Council.
· A group of angry fifth-year City College of San Francisco studentsall members of PETAreportedly arrived at the San Francisco zoo yesterday armed with buckets of red paint. They had apparently been told that the South American Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus) "had a fur coat," and refused to leave until a zookeeper explained that the fur was "organically grown."
