    Dubai going down in flames

    Dubai is Abu Dhabi's problem. It is humorous to think that the royal family could be thrown in debtor's prison-- although this is not realistic. In many ways this is reminiscent of the parable of the two debtors, but with a twist. Dubai and its leaders have been unmerciful to those who have...

    Irvine Residents with COX Cable (need input)

    Yes by FCC mandate over the air channels must be sent in clear, unecrypted QAM over coax. If you want more channels without a cable box make sure that your TV has a built in cablecard slot.

    Orange County Gastropubs

    The Crow Bar is pretty good. Nice selection of beers and decent food. I've found that the kitchen is not super consistent on their preparations. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the crowd there, but your experience will vary. The downstairs area is pretty cozy. It deserves props for having Pliny the...

    A glimpse of my life experience.

    I am a big fan of when you took care of Chong Li. WTG!

    Tech Shopping deals...

    No that is a standard LCD with LED edge lighting (i.e. a TV with poor picture quality). The Panasonic G10 series is a much better value due to the vastly superior picture quality.

    Waiting to catch a wave? Surge of REO listings is unlikely.

    It is stupid, but if you're a bank with potential capital reserve issues you don't have a lot of options right now. If you have the option of pushing out the loss or being shutdown/taken over/nationalized. You're going to kick the can down the road as long as you can, right?

    So I got a citation....

    I have a friend on the IPD. He told me that a rookie officer recently was let go after crashing his police car at 100+mph.

    Shady Canyon

    Get a femtocell: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=gotoFemtocell If you prefer AT&T their version will be released in a couple of months. I prefer this over the T-Mobile solution since it works with a much wider variety of phones and you are not required to use the...

    Shady Canyon

    Garden Grove and other less desirable areas were crushed first and are already much closer to the bottom than premium locations like Shady Canyon and CDM.

    Our new home (or how we learned to stop worrying and love this market)

    Did anyone else ever play the Barneystein mod for the original Wolfenstein?

    Kogi Korean BBQ truck

    9pm-1am is not an odd time. Intoxicated customers are a crucial demographic for street food vendors.

    The Clunker Program Helps only people who own crappy cars.

    Virtually no (if any) recent Honda is going to qualify for that. Plenty of recent trucks and SUVs do though.

    Kogi Korean BBQ truck

    The Kogi truck is pretty good, but the hype is out of control. It isn't worth going out of your way of standing in a long line. The short rib and pork are my recommendations. Supposedly, they will be licensed to serve food in Orange County soon so it will be more convenient for those living...

    Stainless steel pots and pan care

    I'm not a fan of Calphalon at all. I've found their products to be of a poor quality. I mostly use All Clad stainless pans with a couple of Lodge and Le Creuset cast iron pieces. For reductions check out All Clad's 1qt stainless saucier. It is a mighty fine pan.

    The Anaheim White House Restaurant

    This place is like an 80s time warp.
