KPMG says we suck. And even USA Today is not impressed with us these days.

The events site for the San Diego Public Library lists a showing today:
2:00 PM - 3:55 PM: Film: Fahrenheit 9/11
“Fahrenheit 9/11″ (2004) - One of the most controversial and provacative [sic] films of the year, Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore’s searing examination of the Bush administration’s action in the wake of the tragic events […]

Several months ago now I picked up a flyer to something called the Hot Monkey Love Cafe, a cafe and music/entertainment venue located at 5960 El Cajon Blvd in the College area. I have been meaning to check it out. They appear to do a fair amount of music events, as their calendar indicates.
The County of San Diego has a Polling Place Locator on their website that will tell you where your November 2nd polling place if you enter your address. They’ve also got a handy FAQ.
GoodSpeedUpdate has an interesting piece called On “Cool Cities” and Blogs which includes our own San Diego in spots.
My theory: cities with the richest local online culture (measured in number of blogs, and use of a select group of other geographically-bound websites) will reflect those cities with the highest numbers of creative class people.
It’s an […]
LittleItalyWiFi: Free Wi-Fi Access in Downtown San Diego has been down for a few weeks.
To make matters worse, the access point is still turned on — transmitting an empty signal to the entire neighborhood and creating frustration for all who try use it.
The Little Italy site currently exhorts Color Graphics, who has sponsored the service […]
Anyone who surfs or swims frequently at La Jolla Shores know how Nazi-like the life guards there can be when it comes to keeping the surfers on one side of the checkered flag and swimmers on the other. A couple times I’ve drifted over that magic, invisible line - luckily some bored life guard screamed […]
As San Diego CityBeat noted last week, local singer Tristan Prettyman recently signed a record deal with Virgin. Though she has yet to record her new album with them, Tristan is currently on tour with G. Love and Special Sauce and local boys, Slightly Stoopid.
And wouldn’t you know it, joining the ranks of former Rugburns […]
You’ve probably seen his artwork - especially if you frequent the Belly Up in Solana Beach. His name is Scrojo - and he’s been designing concert posters for about two decades now. I found his website at Scrojo.com and saw some great stuff reminiscent of Kozik’s work. There’s posters for Stephen Malkmus, Elliott Smith, Bob […]

We got an oddball comment on an unrelated post from a person named Bernard Brown who asks:
I’m trying to locate the name of the hotel(s) where the two teams for the 2004 Gold Coast Classic will be staying while in San Diego for the Nov 6, 2004 football game. I will be traveling from out […]
In one of our threads on Donna Frye, a Lawyer points to his blog post: Donna Frye’s Write-In Candidacy May Not Be Legal.
Interesting analysis. One would think that she wouldn’t be allowed to debate if her candidacy were against the City Charter.
If the analysis is true, I’d say that the Roberts and Murphy campaigns would […]
The Waitt Family Foundation and San Diego Regional Technical Alliance have released a follow up study on computer and internet access in San Diego entitled San Diego’s Digital Divide Revisited. You can also view/download the entire study in PDF format.
If you’re Hispanic/Latino, low-income, over 65, or a resident of South County, the digital divide is […]
The online Gothic community, altgothic.com is currently voting on where to hold their annual meetup, Convergence 11. It’s currently between Tampa Bay and San Diego. The people pushing for San Diego have made am impressive pirate-themed site trying to sell the city to gothics around the world.
Are any San Diego Blog readers involved in […]
San Diego Blogger Chris Nelson posted yesterday that this Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm is the Fourth Annual GreenBuilt Tour of local sustainable homes and buildings.
This year’s Tour presents a dozen sites with something for everyone. There are commercial sites (4) and residential sites (8); sites that are still under construction (3), just […]
Joelle is one of our favorite San Diego bloggers. She’s the driving force behind this year’s Rock The Walk event, designs killer blog skins, and runs her own blog at Tenth-Muse. She’s sassy, and fun, with with a pinch of snark. Find out more about Joelle below:
Blog Birthday:
Well, I’ve been “blogging”, unbeknownst to me, […]
thattechnicalbookstore.com is the reincarnation of San Diego Technical Books, which apparently is having some drama lately involving financial difficuties, and perhaps bankruptcy. But all that I’ve heard is gossip thus far.
In the meantime, check That Technical Bookstore dot com for your geeky book needs.
And actually, someone told me there’s a technical bookstore in downtown San […]

As our local weather weblogger Rob Krier anticipated, today marks a record 181 days straight without measurable precipitation in the San Diego area.
Fortunately, we may finally have some much needed rain on the way. The weekend forecast shows a chance of rain on Sunday and Monday. Let’s hope.
Mike Davis, co-author of Under the Perfect Sun:The San Diego Tourists Never See and MacArthur Fellow will be reading from his new fictional work Pirates, Bats and Dragons: A Science Adventure at D.G. Wills Books in La Jolla tonight at 7 p.m.
Tonight in Copley Auditorium at UCSD see the Spanish film Habla Con Ella (”Talk to Her”) for free. It starts at 7 p.m. and is two hours long. From UCSD’s Latin American Studies Event Calendar:
Hable con ella (Talk To Her) is a story about the friendship between two men, about loneliness and the long convalescence […]
So it’s about noon and you’re at work dejected at the prospect of yet another slice of pizza while listening to your office mate’s explanation of why he’s right and his wife is wrong.
Well fear not my fellow San Diegans, today’s lunch break brings you something a little brighter. SD Blogger Reza Torkzadeh just sent […]
