You can file this under “Duh!” Last Summer’s Sinkholes and Street Geysers Explaind.
Now, did anyone really believe the DWP when they fed us the line about the cause not being the water rationing? Way to go USC for studying the situation and calling DWP out.

File This Under “Duh!”
Cup with a Cause
I stopped by the 7-Eleven across from my office this morning and noticed a new promotion while I was serving myself some coffee. The promotion is called “Cup with a Cause”, and it’s a philanthropic venture for 7-Eleven. Here’s a description of the program from www.cupwithacause.com.
The 7-Eleven Coffee Cup with a Cause program brings limited edition coffee [...]
LA Nonprofits on Twitter
While I was sitting around the house this morning, an idea popped in my head. The idea was simple. I should find local nonprofits on Twitter and follow them. Now, I agree this may not sound like a lot of fun, but when you're a nerd like me things like this sound exciting.
To my surprise, after a short [...]

Maybe I’ve just become accustomed to their pricing, but I really expected the iPad to start at $700 subsidized by a mobile [...]
Android Market Rant
I like to peruse the new apps added to the Android Market every day to see what’s new in the world of Android. I realize this is a little obsessive, but oh well. It’s just something I’ve done since I got my phone. Now, because I like to see all of the new apps, I [...]

Saturday
A little work around the house followed by a lot of playing with my new WD TV Live. It's a [...]
