Need some new UCLAwear.

I’ve meant to stop in here many times and somehow just never did, but some of my old UCLA shirts/sweatshirts are starting to look shabby.

I’m not sure what I was thinking with this selfie…

Checkin Just Tires

Checked into Just Tires
Replacing the tire I just blew on the 210 freeway—five months after its warranty ran out.

Thanks for the kind and speedy help AAA.

I blew out my right passenger tire while at full speed in the second lane on the northbound 210 Freeway this afternoon. Oh joy!

Checkin The UPS Store

Checked into The UPS Store
Look the UPS store is so close! Returning some parts to Amazon.

I had actually looked up a UPS Store on my phone while leaving Vons and was shocked/surprised to see there was one just 275 feet away. Somehow I’d never noticed it before.

Checkin Cross Campus Old Pasadena

Checked into Cross Campus Old Pasadena: Innovate Pasadena - “Who is this TED guy anyway? And what the heck is TEDx?”
Innovate Pasadena coffee meetup
“Who is this TED guy anyway? And what the heck is TEDx?”

While short and relatively interesting, this talk felt kind of like filler compared to what Friday morning coffees typically present. I’m surprised that it was something that came out of someone who organizes TEDx talks (aside from the short length). The take away was definitely don’t do one of these talks the day before one of the areas biggest TEDx events of the year. The worst part was that she was tired as the result of the event coming up on Saturday and didn’t get the real PR value out of it because the event had been sold out for months already. Better, she should have done it the week before the next event to lead into it.
