Cats

OK, not at all on topic, but these short animations made me smile.

Pictures

I know that my blog is a little short on pictures, even though between my camera and my phone I have plenty of opportunity to take pictures. However, rather than wait for me to turn my good intentions into actions, you can see some excellent pictures of LA on the LA Times website.

Take the 57 to the 5 to the 55 to the 405

One topic about which I have not blogged with the frequency that it probably deserves is traffic and the LA freeway network. Here the absence of weather being an interesting topic of conversation, (Warm and sunny again today, forecast is warm and sunny tomorrow) the locals discuss traffic and alternative routes. Via Brit in the USA, I found this blog entry on that very topic on a blog called Crazy Aunty Purl. The main thrust of the entry is proven by many of the comments.

TV Nation

When I saw a bath-tub with a TV fitted, I suppose it should have given me a clue. Nonetheless, I was still a little surprised at the news that people are outnumbered by television sets in the average American household.

My current household is not average. We have three people and just one television. However, we have three cell-phones, three iPods, and four PCs.

Beware of Geeks

I have started a second blog, because there were things about which I wished to write that had nothing to do with my move to the USA; the subject of this blog. The new blog will contain musings of a geeky nature, so be warned if you are not so inclined there will be nothing of interest there.
The new blog is at http://allgeektome.wordpress.com/

Hot Here, but not that Hot
