DnA: Arts Fest food (try the Coyote Chicken Sandwich)
People were howling. And those were the food vendors, uh, volunteers.
Seriously, Cafe 501, author of the Coyote Chicken Sandwich, has some amazing food. Their chopped salad is incredible. Great breads, sandwiches, breakfasts and desserts.

Newspaper stocks bounce back big time
Everyone likes to bag on the declining newspaper industry.
Actually, “everyone” is probably more like only those in the media business who can’t help but notice the emerging new technologies (Internet, cell phones, iPhones, etc) that make news more immediate and on-demand. Truth is, the every day guy probably doesn’t even care where he’s getting his news. I doubt he has loyalty to newspapers or the local TV news. It’s convenience and what topics he’s interested in.
Wednesday was not a good day for a few newspaper chains’ stock. But Thursday was a different story: newspaper stocks bounce back big time.
Cat-dog food fight
No reason to post this really. But it’s funny. And in a foreign language.
