Moving aids

So I just moved again.... 4th time in 4 years. I have found that my garbage cans, luggage, laundry basket, and duffle bag are quite usful for moving around lots of objects.

Another day of bad traffic

Amazing how a few car accidents can really clog up traffic. Glad I don't have to deal with it!

Benefits of short hair

So I grew out my hair for a while (for me at least), but just cut it off again. So now I can use less shampoo, less conditioner, no hair gel at all, and no time required to do anything to it. One interesting thing... I can spot grey hairs a lot easier now.

Runyon Canyon is not a gym

There's an interesting mix of people that show up to Runyon for a hike. Large number of people with the dogs, some people just going for a casual stroll, and a few people out for a serious workout.

However, you're still not allowed to use everything for your workout, like the metal gates.

LA Local News

So what makes the news here? Apparently, Ben Stiller hit his head on something after sitting up too fast. And Jesse James cheated on Sandra Bullock. Yup, that's the type of stuff that makes it on the local nightly news here.

Craigslist = spam and scams

So I posted a couple ads on Craiglist. It seems there are automatically generated emails generated to spam you and try to scam you out of money.

They start with:

Hi,

Is the artilce still for sale???

If you reply, they send you another email with a stupid story and ask for your full name, address and telephone number. Hmmm.... yeah, that seems like good info to send out.

Lexus has the worst GPS ever

274 miles in 5 hours? Who drives that slow? Hmmm.... well, I guess it is a Lexus. This GPS is not intuitive to use at all. It was easier using the GPS in my Citroen rental car in France with the language in french! Oh, and the GPS couldn't pinpoint an address. And it doesn't label all the streets. A $300 Garmin or TomTom is infinitely better.

So simple.... yet

So brilliant!!! No can opener required :)

2-wheel parking benefits in San Francisco

Exhibit #1: Cheap parking. Motorcycles/scooters have parking meter spots that are cheap. This particular one is only $0.40 per hour, and you can park there for 10 hours!




Exhibit #2: Primo parking locations. Nearly front door!
