    shoe repair shop

    I've used the shop next to L&L on Culver and Walnut.  I think the owner's name is Chan or Yang or maybe Chan Yang.  He's super friendly and will find ways to help you restore your shoes without doing anything unnecessary.  I was happy with the couple of pair of shoes he worked on.

    Introducing myself

    I've used them before for my dad's business.  You can use your old AT&T equipment, but you may need to reconfigure the modem a little.  I can't remember what settings I had to change, but they send you a modem, just take a look at the settings on the modem and transfer to yours.  One thing...

    CNN's 10 Worst Cities for Driving - #6: Irvine

    We joke about Asians being bad drivers, but whenever I go to China or Taiwan, I don't think anyone from the US would be able to drive there.  I had to drive in Taipei once, and it's like driving in LAX on Christmas eve.  In China, whenever I get in a taxi, I always think the taxi drivers would...

    Rate the last movie you saw...

    I saw this in Taiwan while I was there last week.  I had 8 hours to kill between the time I had to check out of my hotel and the time when my airport shuttle would pick me up.  I would give the movie 6/10.  Some things didn't make sense, some things were too predictable.  Overall, it was a good...

    A Settling House

    I know new houses will settle over time, but how much is normal?  Having been in my new house for 9 months, i'm noticing: - Lots of hairline cracks in the inside corners of walls - Popped dry wall screws in the ceilings - Drywall seams becoming visible - Cracked grout in the showers - Bottom...

    Garage Epoxy

    These epoxy guys are making a killing charging 1500+ for the job.  DIY using quality epoxy + clear polyurethane top coat = 500.00 (less if you forgo the clear coat) and a weekend of your time.  It's not that hard.  The pros probably buy the epoxy and poly by the drum, so probably only cost them...

    Taiwanese Shaved Ice Recs?

    Have you tried Tea Station?  Old school Taiwanese place before all the new places popped up.  Don't think they have the new style milk shaved ice, but their mango shaved ice, and red bean shaved ice are pretty good.

    Garage Epoxy

    You can special order Epoxy-Coat (that's the brand) from Lowe's.  Some Lowe's will carry them in-stores for about 300.00.  These are much higher quality, 100% solid epoxy system.  It's harder to put on, since you need to be mindful of bubbles appearing during the curing process.  These are thick...

    Tankless Water heaters?

    I had a tank in my old home and tankless in my new home.  I don't notice a difference in how quickly hot water comes out, both are slow in my opinion.  While my gas bill was low with a natural gas tank water heater, it is ridiculously low with a tankless.  The actual dollar difference in the gas...

    Jinya Ramen, Costa Mesa

    Their Yuzu (grape fruit) chicken broth ramen is refreshing.  Don't get the home made tofu, totally disappointing.  Free DIY cotton candy at the end of the meal.

    Why did you pull out your wallet if you're selling him?  ;)

    Traveling with kids

    My advice would be to check the car seat.  You won't need it on the flight.  It's going to be hard to keep the kid in the seat the whole flight, and when she wants to get out of the seat, you won't have anywhere to put it and it would just be in the way.  I usually have a juice box ready (hidden...

    Shutters

    I got hidden tilt for +1.00/sq ft and top/bottom split opening for +1.00/sq ft.  Total came out to 15.00/sq ft for me, and I also paid 50% up front.  I did mine through Tim, but it was before he started to flake on everyone.

    October 7 Accident Witness

    I have a BlackVue DR400G-HD.  Search those words on YouTube and you'll get plenty of hits.  I ran my first one with parking mode on, where the camera will stay on for a period of time after you shut off the engine.  Apparently, on hot days, this will burn out the sensor, and my videos became...
