The nominees for the San Diego Music Awards were announced yesterday. No surprises in any categories, though if you ask me there are some nominations that are suspect. (Louis XIV? Hasn’t that record been out forever? And weren’t they nominated last year, too? And don’t even get me started on Jason Mraz.) But hey, you can make […]

The schedule for Street Scene has been released. You can download and print the PDF version here.
Biggest changes from last year are that there are 3 smaller stages and they moved the Captain Morgan stage so that it faces east instead of west. One of the smaller stages (The Forbidden Stage) is 21+ only and […]
San Diego City Council will be VOTING on this project August 1. Meeting begins at 2 pm.
I admit, I haven’t been following this issue. I don’t live in the area, heck I don’t even live in the City of San Diego…. but I do care about the environmental impact, and feel this is really a county-wide […]
While planning another trip, I stumbled onto Roadside America. It’s tagline reads Guide to Uniquely Odd Tourist Attractions. Of course San Diego has a few entries. Some of the highlights include:
World’s Largest Lemon (Lemon Grove)
Shoe Tree on Frisbee Course (Balboa Park)
Gravity Hill (La Jolla)
Muffler Man (Escondido)
Can you think […]
I just got back from the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con and it was awesome! It’d been a couple years since I was last there, but I was blown away by the quality of the panels that I went to.
I’ve posted my wrap-up on my website, which you can read here.
You can also check out my […]
Most of the people I’ve met in San Diego either haven’t been to Tijuana in many years or have never been. What are your thoughts about Tijuana? For those that go, what do you do when you get there? Favorite restaurants? Travel tips?

I am in dire need of getting some culture in my life and I can *always* use a cocktail, so the quarterly Culture and Cocktails event on Thursday at the San Diego Museum of Art is right up my alley. The featured exhibition is Andy Warhol’s Dream America. Tickets are $10 at the door, but […]

As I’m sure many of you were, I was stunned a couple of days ago (July 14, I believe) by the announcement that Randy “Duke” Cunningham, our imprisoned, FORMER congressman was to be “honored” for his hard work and service to congress. The argument in favor of this was that he wasn’t booted out by congress, he […]

I’ve now lived in San Diego for 6 years and I have yet to run into a single celebrity. How about you? Have you had any celebrity sightings here in San Diego? Who, where and when?
Full disclosure here, Karin Zirk is my friend. I have known her for over 20 years and have always been impressed with her ability to stay committed to something, and to act on her beliefs even if sometimes I don’t agree with them.
Karin Zirk, founder and ring master for the Friends of Rose Creek, has […]
OK, I admit it, I keep looking, thinking that maybe just maybe something will suddenly get “affordable,” and I’ll be able to own my own home. So on realtor.com I see this sweet little townhouse. And I’m thinking, geeze, I know where that is. Right north of Cedros, I coulda sworn those […]

I haven’t sent shots in a while, so thought you might like these from the Carrier homecoming last week. I was there shooting for the USO. I have attached a couple neat silhouette shots and there is a decent sized gallery at my site. Just click on […]
What books should belong in the personal library of San Diego citizens? As a hiker, my 2 favorite local hiking books are 60 Hikes with 60 Miles San Diego and Afoot and Afield in San Diego County. What are some of your San Diego book favorites?
Kevin suggested (4! days ago — sorry for the lateness, I’ve been busy):
Shuttle + Station Flyover Video
See anything weird in the sky last night? The Moon was next to
Antares, and the Space Shuttle — docked to the International Space
Station — flew right past it. They’re bright individually, but
together they’re easy to capture on video or […]

INC Magazine wrote a great piece on Buck Knives, which is now available on their web site. The Buck Stopped Here tells the story of a successful San Diego company that was driven from California due to the high cost of doing business here. Buck Knives relocated from El Cajon to Idaho Falls, Idaho at […]
BarCampSanDiego is looking for somewhere to hold a BarCamp. What’s a BarCamp, you ask?
From http://barcamp.org/ :
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.
We need a space to meet during a weekend. We’ll […]
