I've been enjoying a few days criss-crossing the deserts of Arizona and California, landing for the moment at a sidewalk cafe with wireless on Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. We're heading back to Los Angeles later today and should resume posting tonight. Meanwhile, Mark Lacter's morning headlines are up at LA Biz Observed. David Rensin also has a fun post at Native Intelligence about meeting up at the Century Plaza with the only other David Rensin known to mankind, a journey of discovery that began with Jerry Brown and the Eagles back in 1976.
