Expo Line!
If you know me, you know I am a big fan of public transportation, and that I hold the idealistic view that a good public transportation could change the face of Los Angeles. The new Expo Line is the first train to connect the city going east-west. Eventually it is supposed to go all the … Read more
iPhone
I am writing this post from my new iphone. Will this ability increase my posting frequency? TBD. Will it decrease the quality of my posts? Also TBD but from this example it seems likely.
