If you think the recent vampire craze stops at the Twilight movies and Trueblood series, think again. With the new Vampire Diaries TV series airing this coming fall and no fewer than four vampire themes novels on the NYT's top 20 bestseller list, vamps are more popular than ever.

Free WiFi at coffee shops, once a touted amenity, is now so ubiquitous it's hard to find a cafe that doesn't serve as an ad hoc office.

Bonuses, and even full paychecks, are so 2007--thank goodness there's still the occasional expense-able meal or some of us would have to eat every meal out of a brown bag.

After hearing the sad news of Farrah Fawcett's tragic passing, Michael Jackson's untimely death is about all pop culture fans--particularly those who grew up in the '80s--can possibly take this week.

"The key to failure is trying to please everyone"--Bill Cosby, presumably during his dark, post-Dr. Huxtable, pre-Jello spokesman phase. And Bill was right: While the ambition of the latest Asian-Italian fusion bar/restaurant-cum-lounge & charcuterie house is admirable, there's something to be said for finding your forte--doing one thing and doing it well. Enter the ultra-niche specialty spots on this list, which thrive by being the best, or at least the only, place in the city to get selvedge Japanese denim, Shaggy Mane mushroom spores or a convincing head-to-toe pirate getup.

Love 'em or hate 'em (or only love 'em wrapped in bacon when you're drunk in the Mission), hot dogs are huge these days.

De-tiaraed. Un-sashed. Stripped ... oh wait, she did that to herself. Either way, Carrie Prejean lost her Miss California USA title this week for failing to perform pageant-related duties--understandable, considering that the pageant organizers bought her the set of knockers that allowed her to win. But, like so much of America, Prejean is now unemployed in an extremely tight job market, and with no obvious talent, she's going to need some help finding a way to pay those tooth-whitening bills.
