I ended up putting my rabit ears up on the roof of my apartment building. I basically had to find an orientation that got all of the channels I wanted "good enough".
If you have to move the antenna to get all or one your stations, tivo is probably not going to work well for you with non-cable reception.
I have Tivo without also having cable. It works really well. I get more TV than I should be watching in a week anyway. I have the 40 hour model, I should probably get a larger hard drive in order to keep the programs I want to make sure don't disappear if I don't make a date to watch them, but it works well for me.
One thing is that I end up watching the same amount of TV, but its all stuff I want instead of what's just on.
I get to watch all the science shows that are on PBS really early in the morning, as well as news shows that are when I am at work.
$13/month is still cheaper than the cheapest cable I can get.

In San Francisco, the San Francisco Bike Coalition will be on the streets handing out snacks and goodies.

Walking and Biking can be effective ways of putting your money where you mouth is when it comes to energy independence, have great health benefits, and are a great way to meet people.
Want to reduce your gas usage by maybe 20%? Bike to work one day a week.
If you are trying to bike more (for the environment, to save money, for your health, etc..) you should join a local Bike Coalition (which could be a little different than a Bike Club depending on your area). They work for geting things like more bike lanes, enforcement of stiffer penalties for people who drive dangerously, better access for bike to transit, etc...
They are good places to meet like minded individuals as well as provide a place to volunteer to help change things.
In San Francisco, you can contact the San Francisco Bike Coalition
http://www.sfbike.org
which has great local information, as well as links to other bike coalitions around the area/country.
If you live in San Franciso and are interested in Pedestrian issues (such as stopping sidewalk parking, better crosswalks, getting pedestrian accidents treated more seriously) check out "Walk San Francisco" at walksf.org
It's a pedestrian advocacy group that is working to make San Francisco a better place to walk. Their web site has lots of links and resources concerning modern crosswalk technology among other things.

The ban was thanks to the work of Walk San Francisco, San Francisco's Pedestrian Advocacy Group.

The sidewalks are no place for a vehicle that goes as fast as a Segway. This means Bikes also.
For more information on why WalkSF helped get this law enacted check out
