Some people coming to LA Observed in the past day or so have received pop-up warnings, ostensibly from Google, saying the site is infected by malware. As far as we know it's not true, and Google agrees when the page is run through its diagnostic tool:

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS25767 (WAVEFORM).

Over the past 90 days, www.laobserved.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?
No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

So browse away without fear. I'm a little suspicious of the embedded "60 Minutes" video that I posted with Sunday's Steve Lopez and Nathaniel Ayers item, so I'm going to take down the video.
