Two days ago, I returned from 10 days on the east coast to the note above on my car asking if I'd like to sell. As it happens, that's exactly what I want to do. I hadn't had the chance yet to post the...

Ah, the holidays. The smell of freshly sawed pine in the air and a tower of sugary treats left unattended on that table outside your office. What better time for this year's Holiday Light Show Death Match? This year, both brands and residents alike submitted serious contenders for the death...

This week marks the last week of the first major survey of graffiti art in the United States: Art in the Streets at the MOCA at Geffen Contemporary. One of MOCA LA's most popular exhibits comes to a close August 8th. To commemorate one of the most intriguing and vibrant expressions of street art, Jump!! comes to LA. Jump!! began in 2008 in New York City as an event meant to re-invent art by expressing as much joy as possible in front of it.

As someone who prides herself on being a digital nerdstress, I often field questions from folks looking for mobile app developers. It's very analogous to that moment where someone texts you looking for a good restaurant or bar in their neighborhood.

Sunday, December 13th, 2009. 1:00PM. Times Square. If you happened to be walking through the tourist-infested crowd in Times Square over the weekend, you might have seen me and my red hoodie smiling back at you. My inner monologue would have been, "I don't know why you're braving Times Square...

Making the Tasty Treats
