Japan's QR Codes Being Tested in SF
You know those QR codes that Japan has? The ones that look like fancy bar codes that you take a picture of with your cellphone that brings up some bit of info or trivia on the display. Those are being tested in SF right now on 500+ restaurants/shops/businesses reviewed by Citysearch. More »

The Caltrain board is going to approve a multi-million-dollar project, finished by the end of 2008, that adds GPS and web-based tracking functionality for their trains. Caltrain, the SF Bay Area's commuter train, will then use the "Real Time Train Predictive Arrival GPS System" in nine train stops, allowing users to monitor the train's location/arrival via the website 511.org, and time their jog down to the train accordingly.

Apple iPhones Still Available in SF, NY
All the people who camped out for over 24 hours—ahem Greg Packer—should feel really foolish right about now. As of 9:17 PM PDT (12:17 AM EDT), the San Francisco store has both 4GB and 8GB iPhones in stock. The New York 5th Avenue Store? The same. If you still want one, head on down and grab it.

Picture this. We're heading in to buy our iPhones, and what do we see? A massive wall of Apple employees, clapping and cheering and offering high fives to all. It was a very surreal, and frankly scary experience. Remind us never, never to do that again, even if the Jesus Phone rises a second time.

SF iPhone Store Closes to Much Moaning, Bitching, and Gnashing of Teeth
What are these people angry at? No, it isn't not being able to get an iPhone, it's not being able to get into the Apple store when they closed it down at 2PM to prepare for the 6PM launch. Apparently either some people's watches were a little off, or Apple closed the store down a little early, but they're pissed at not being able to get into the store. That's why we love SF—everyone always has things in perspective.

As you might have caught on our live camera, the store is closed to set up for the demo. Here are some shots of the scene, as it stands.

The First Person in the AT&T iPhone Line Doesn't Know What the Hell She's Waiting For
We're at the AT&T store in SF and quizzing line campers on the iPhone. People who got the questions right get a free limited edition Gizmodo iPhone shirt. Those who don't, get the whole internet laughing at him/her. It's like camping out for a Star Wars movie and not knowing what a Lightsaber is. More »

Hey. I'm back from my nap, and on the line again. And it feels like Summer. People are putting on sunscreen, which is not a typically necessary San Franciscan action. Things are going so well. Except those guys have started up the boomboxes again. I'm wearing one of our Limited Edition iPhone Launch T-Shirts, that we were originally going to give out. But one thing is clear in the daylight, from talking to people. Over half of the front of the line are here as mercenaries, and not iPhone fans. So we're going to quiz people before they get a shirt. Today should be for believers, not businessmen. Click through to http://Justin.tv/gizmodo to chat with other Gizmodo readers, too. More »

The line is coming back to life right now. Stanley Michael Jackson is still in full effect, the Financial Times stopped by with a few questions, and the line is wrapping around the corner of Stockton Street. Today should be even more entertaining. Thankfully, our neighbors from 8 mile who aspire to be rhyming legends have kept the boombox quiet this morning. Though we wouldn't mind some early morning Wu-Tang to get us fired up for the day. Also, many thanks to the Justin.tv viewers for keeping me entertained. We still have a long way to go before we can call it a day and get some real sleep. Mmmmmmm...sleeeeeeeeeeeep.

I need a nap. Adrian the intern is manning our live Justin.TV camera, which has been chronicling the entirety of the SF iPhone campout since 6pm last night. I even had that thing on while I was sleeping. I'll resume the Brian Lam Dog and Pony show sometime later. For now, I ZZZ. Video: [iPhone SF Campout Live Video]

I love the smell of iPhone in the morning. I got about 3 hours of sleep. Shook like a leaf when I woke, cold, despite the metallic emergency blanket's insulation. The Justin.tv lifecam is still running and so is my Macbook, thanks to the Wifi (instead of the usual and hungrier EVDO.) But i've got about 20 minutes left on each, and my brain can't quite get the words together.

SF Headcount is 63. If you want to get an iPhone today in SF, I don't think it'll be a problem. Yet.

All is well, although my meager facilities responsible for writing well are almost entirely gone. I slept an hour tucked in between a phone booth and a light post. Street cleaning came rumbling by and almost clipped a camper's leg off as it rumbled down Stockton street.
