Firkin & Fox
The last place I visited in Carson City before returning back to San Francisco was Firkin & Fox restaurant for Lunch. This restaurant is located in one of the oldest and most distinctive buildings in Carson City. It is right below the St. Charles Hotel which was built in 1862.
The interior of the restaurant is very charming and casual. The booth seats are bright red and comfortable. I had a salad and a perfectly cooked bacon cheeseburger with fresh cut fries for lunch.
One fun fact about this place is that in the game American Truck Simulator ,which features various cities in the Western United States , there is a nearly perfect depiction of this building in the game. For trademark purposes the title of the hotel is “St. Thomas” and the name of the restaurant is “Freaking Coyote” but it was great to see a familiar landmark in the game.
Firkin & Fox is a great place to grab lunch if you are exploring downtown Carson City. It has great food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere.

i’m calling it ‘wil wheatcon’ until i can think of something better
In an average year, I travel to around 5 or 6 cities for conventions. Almost every time I announce an appearance, the most common response is some version of “that’s great! When are you coming to [my town]?” I’m not coming to your town, but I am coming to...

I find the trend of people posting about the way they use generative AI to be fascinating at an anthropological level. I do not remember the last time a piece of technology pushed so many different people into writing about the way they use it, or not use...
