I found Mark Evanier’s post “What Happens in San Diego Stays in San Diego” quite informative and entertaining. It basically decimates the idea that Comic-Con International would be better off in Las Vegas as suggested by Katherine Keller in her opinion piece in Sequential Tart that “What Happens in San Diego… Should Happen in Las […]

Kevin suggested (4! days ago — sorry for the lateness, I’ve been busy):

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 […]

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 […]

San Diego moblog company textamerica has a heckuva PR problem.

It actually seems about right to me to say that:
This article uses excessive clichés and jargon associated with Hippies. To maintain quality standards and accessibility, please use more neutral language and tone.
That’s awesome. See for yourself, and edit if you wish: Ocean Beach, San Diego, California
