I got a full-time gig in Downtown Los Angeles about two months ago, to go with my own web design business.  I’m only there at night so I can’t really enjoy the place much even though the minute I got here I realized I loved it and wanted to get to know it more than I ever had.  Pretty much every day I have the urge to move here.

In the spring and summer in So Cal, we have the phenomenon of mockingbirds. These are birds that, in order to attract a mate, inexplicably imitate the songs of every other bird they've ever heard. (This always makes me think that if a mate does show up, she'll go "Wait, you're not a blue jay!" and leave immediately. Bait and switch, no truth in ( Read more... )

Has anybody ever heard of a "church" called the Aquarian Foundation?   One that was started in '53 by a guy named Rhinehart and not  to be confused (I don't think) with an apparently notorious cult started in 1927 by a guy named Wilson.  However, you never know.  (I mean, my first question would be "Hey, Rhinehart, dude, if you knew that other ( Read more... )
