Plan for Saturday
So fun. Our new houseguests are big fans of the Narnia books. I got tickets to see the new Nania movie, Prince Caspian, and the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. I think it will be fun! I think we’ll just drive and park, but it might be fun (or maybe easier?) to take the Red...

Hollywood Mobile Movie
The other night at Geek Dinner I met Eric from Hollywood MobMov. He’s looking for sites for Mobile movies. He needs parking lots with 50 spaces with flat large walls adjacent. This sounds like so much fun to me! I signed up for the list. I like the idea of stuff like Cinespia (cemetery screenings...

My name is Misc, How do you do?
Uncov got some para-journalistic love from Wired. I have mentioned uncov before. I have thought a bit more about the salty language Ted uses, and I’ve decided it’s really interesting to my brain to have the subject be computer science and business and have the language come out of, oh, Quentin Tarantino. Id meets intellect....

Scene from Greyhound Bus Station, Los Angeles, Monday, 4:30am
I tell the cabbie “Union Station.” It’s a solid 2 miles. Too far a walk for how tired I am, and not really convenient on local buses. “I hate Mayor Villarigosa” declares the cabbie at the Bus Station. “Because he made the FlyAway service, and nobody takes cabs to the airport anymore.” “Well, don’t you...

stew plays, joe mulls
So the 50 minute Stew show yesterday was wonderful. Totally worth the train ride and Dash ride and lack of usable WiFi signals at California Plaza. I even got to take a few minutes to say hey to Stew. I am such a fan. I actually met him in September last year. I’ve posted some...

A Small L.A. Trip: Part 2: Musings/Blogosphere
About A Small L.A. Trip: Part 2: Musings/Blogosphere I tried out the “Summarize” feature of MacOS, here it is: MacOS X Machine Generated Summary: The thing I come away with is that anyone can do this blogging stuff, which is what I believed before too.
