I was wondering.
I’ve been in the San Diego area since about ‘96 with the exception of a few crazy and depressing months in Seattle. I love it here. I almost love having a zillion part time jobs that make it possible to almost afford to live here like my column, the photos for North, […]

A couple of weeks ago, there was a construction accident that blocked the 805 and 5 freeway at the Merge. Something involving a crane and power lines.
What I want to know is if there were any photos in the press of what happened?

I’ve been busy all over. I, along with two close friends, Erin (currently recuperating from back surgery) and Jenny (my soon-to-be ex-wife) put together San Diego Spots.
We’ve gotten a fair amount of feedback on it since we put it up some months ago, and it has been begging to have some message boards. So […]

*ahem*…Helloo!
I guess we’re kinda introducing ourselves. I’m not a San Diego native, either. I moved here for graduate school from Colorado. After I finished school, I found myself with a job, a band and a nonprofit. Well, ok, the job was the only thing I had the DAY OF graduation, but the rest soon followed. […]

I moved to San Diego from Tempe, Arizona, after cooking my brains for 10+ years. My hubby is a SD native, and I am from Stanford, originally, so it wasn’t such a culture shock.
There are still a lot of wonderful things about the area. Exploring unknown trails at Mission Trails Park, watching a lunar eclipse […]

I have lived in MB, PB, OB, Escondido, La Mesa, Allied Gardens and now near Lake Murray. My house is located in a cul-de-sac on an oddly shaped lot that borders on seven other properties.
Last week we travelled up to Ramona for a party. We drove up Wildcat Canyon Road passing the surreal Barona […]

Today is a grey day here in San Diego. The sky has been nothing but grey. Is there any hope that Memorial Day will be sunny and lovely and be summery? I don’t know. But I’ve added a logo (interim?) to the site, and stripped out the default stylesheets for b2 site. I have a […]

I moved here four years ago after living almost a decade in Jamaica. I live in San Mucous, in a nice tract home –two dogs, two cats, two kids, one husband. So here’s my take on SD, after coming back with an immigrant attitude: It’s a great place to work hard and achieve material things. […]

After almost 7 years in San Diego, I have reached the following conclusions (AKA gross generalizations):

Most San Diegans are barely employed part-time, are students, or live in a one-room shack.
90% of the cars on my block are still there at 9:05 AM on a weekday.
Executives and mucky-mucks rarely work past 3PM on Fridays. (Witness the […]

My long-time friend and way-back-when colleague Brent Ross is about to move to San Diego to join forces with the wonder twins, aquaman and the cast from Revenge of the Nerds at Red Door Interactive. He’s a guy with impeccable taste, which explains why he’s a great designer, and thusly, the mitigating factor behind his […]

So I added some new links for the sidebar. Media. Weather. Traffic. I want the site to be all about San Diego. Starting to tell some people about this. Inviting people to take part.
I hope it will slowly grow.
But you never know. Fellow San Diegan Sassy says a user-contributed site is hard to maintain because […]

Formatting is going to suck for a while. That’s how it is. Still not settled on a design or even a general layout. So this is interim.

This blog is new. I really like b2, from seeing how well it has worked for Leah. I think there needs to be a group blog for San Diego. I want to start it. I’m starting it. I’m inviting some of my cool friends and acquaintances to contribute. It’s going to be a learning process. […]
