Clean water could not be further away. Personally, i can not think of not having clean water. It is out of my imagination. We take it as a given in the western world. People die everyday [...] ridethecity.com recently announced the addition of San Diego to their system. Well, not really. Interesting is that the camera streams can be restarted ad-free while the video player window on the site is maximized. Within Surfline.com, click on a surf report with a camera. You will see an ad before the camera starts. You can reload the camera but another ad will be shown. I do not [...] At least for now, the La Jolla Seals at the Children’s Pool are saved by a San Diego Federal Judge. US District Court Judge William Hayes ordered that his temporary restraining order will remain in effect. Our governor Arnold Schwarzenegger could sign the pending bill that will allow the City of San Diego to leave [...] Please help to protect the Seals at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla. Below is a short clip of the Tesla on its way from Pacific Beach to La Jolla driving on the Interstate 5. It looked like it got pulled on a string when it quickly accelerated on the onramp to the Interstate 5 towards La Jolla. The pintail longskate i purchased was exactly what i was looking for. This was the second board i purchased there. Excellent service and prices. They have a good selection in the shop already, what they do not have can be ordered. This shop has been in existence for 15 years and they are family owned with [...] Surfing at night, well, its lonely. Nobody in the water, just in front of the Capri Tower in PB, with Floodlight. A few people in San Diego surf at night. Mostly maniacs or 100% dedicated people, i guess. It definitely feels a little strange to me. I think it is incredibly more dangerous than surfing [...] This is an addition to my earlier post about Garnet Avenue. Please click here to check out the first post about Garnet Avenue. This post will lead you, all the way down to the beach. If you do not have enough time for a full breakfast, cross the street and buy a tasty Bagel at [...] The heat arrived in Pacific Beach this week. It is like mid-summer. Clear skies and warm beach weather draws the crowds out to surf or enjoy the beaches. Pacific Beach did not have good surf today. Small and wind-blown in the afternoon. Tomorrow might be a little better. Beachgoers enjoyed lots of intense sunshine. Sunscreen [...] San Diego has an unusually well located Airport (Lindbergh Field). Lindbergh Field is located just yards away from Downtown. It is just next to the San Diego Harbor, Harbor Island. Just a few minutes to downtown San Diego by bus or car. It is perfect for business people. They can be at their meeting and [...] This short video of the La Jolla Cove was taken at night. The lights on the other side of the water belong to buildings at La Jolla Shores. The La Jolla Beach and Tennis club for example is located at La Jolla Shores. La Jolla Cove is beautiful at night. You might not want to [...] This morning, i went to La Jolla Cove and the Ellen Scripps Browning Park to assist some divers. The Ellen Scripps Browning Park is beautifully located at the ocean in La Jolla. On days with massive swell, surfers populate the waves of the cove. The break only works on big days. Today was flat. No [...] Some weekend we were riding the roller coaster in Mission Beach, Belmont Park. Initially i thought it will be painstakingly slow but was surprised. One of the few old school American roller coasters still in use today, it is a cultural experience to ride this thing. It is a wood construction with a very rustic [...] The other day I was studying over at 976 and met my old friend Tom. He told me that he finally realized his dream of having his own candy store. Most people enjoy candy. This makes it an excellent give-away. Fine chocolates or gummy bears from Germany are not available everywhere. Acandystore.com is Tom and [...] I use search engines a lot. Mostly google.com. This is a habit that formed after a while of using search engines. Occasionally i use yahoo.com. It gets me good results for shopping. Google.com product search is excellent too. The excellent map function of google also became my favorite map tool. Sometimes i use mapquest.com. [...] I just finished watching the Clip: 1999 AD. It is a movie about the future (then 1967, forecasting 1999). A gadget company started to distribute the movie again on DVD. It seems to be real. There was controversy about whether it is real or fake. One of the actors is a TV-Showhost and said its [...] If you are thinking of ever watching this movie (From Travelers and Magicians), don’t read along. A traveler in modern clothing sits on a rural street in the mountains of Bhutan. He waits for a car to stop. Soon he is joined by a monk in traditional orange clothing. He carries some stuff and some kind [...] Car insurance for international students. When I arrived first in the USA about 4 years ago, I did not have an American driver’s license. It would take me another 3 months to do this little test. Compared to Germany, this is more like a quiz, rather than a license. Germany requires many hours of theoretical training [...] I do not think so. Yesterday i went to see a movie. The movie was rated R (MPAA rating). This means that people under 17 are only permitted when accompanied by an adult. AMC theatres do not check which visitor visits which movie. A lone toddler would be able to see R or NC-17 rated [...] I live in an apartment in Pacific Beach. The building is from the 60's. I must admit that it has a great little courtyard. The owner takes good care of it and there are flowers and it is quite beautiful. The rent for small apartments in this area is anywhere from $600(400 Euros) to $1200 [...] Furniture buying can have great impact on quality of life and your budget. For a student, it seems to be popular to buy used furniture here in the USA. I did not see this phenomena so much in Germany. A lot of used furniture is offered and bought over craigslist.org. This site has not the [...] I enjoy writing about chefs around the world. One of the best french chefs of britain is Jean-Christophe Novelli. Novelli was born in 1961 in Arras (northern France). He worked at multiple locations before becoming head-chef at the "Four Seasons" on Hyde Park Corner. He founded his own Restaurant in 1996, the Maison Novelli. He [...] I wonder what effects the changed situation on Pakistan will have on the stock market if any. Will stocks decrease due to the situation? Will markets gain from the situation in Pakistan? My first thought would be that fear of change in affected regions could decrease the value of stocks internationally slightly. Japan just opened, [...] The cheapest electronics, computers, telephones, paper shredders or whatever you need can be found at Fry's Electronics. Frys Electronics is almost like the mekka for electronic shoppers here in San Diego. 500GB external hard drives for $100, MP3 Players for $10, Printers for $25. It does not get much cheaper. Especially on relatively inexpensive items [...] Wildfires across southern California have devastating effects. Several hundred thousand homes have been evacuated, more than 500000 people are not able to stay at their homes due to the fire. Air quality across San Diego has reached unhealthy readings. Yesterday, it was advised to stay home. The streets are very busy. People seek shelter in [...] Today, there was rain in San Diego. Rain in this area is not very frequent. I can imagine that farmers in the area need the rain the most. As a surfer, i do not like the rain much. It is advised to stay out of the water for about 3 days after heavy rainfall. This [...] I recently ordered the MPAA rated PG movie "Over The Hedge". It is a cartoon movie about animals that move out of the woods into the human populated areas. Surprisingly, I did not receive "Over The Hedge" but the R rated (18+) movie "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning". This movie is about as scary and [...] Global Dimming is happening on earth due to the increase in particulates produced by humans. Such particulates can be from factories, cars and power plants to name a few. An example of such particulates include sulfur aerosols. There seems to be a dimming of about 4% from 1960 to 1990. I did view a documentary [...] |
