We may not have snow here in L.A., but that doesn't mean our toes don't freeze.

The Real Sunset Strip
Credit: Ann Johansson for The New York Times
The Sunset Strip is my home away from home out here in L.A. The New York Times ran a fantastic article this week on Nic Adler, The Roxy and the revitalization of the music scene on the Strip.
Also, I recently discovered a UStream show called The Real Sunset Strip hosted by Lauren Scheff and The Hawk, which is the next best thing to actually being there. Tonight, Mark McGrath, Nylon Pink, Purple Melon (check them out at High Voltage Sunday!), Anyshka, David Faustino (Bud from "Married with Children"), and Lacey from VH1's "Rock of Love" stopped by for a chat.
Check it out Saturday nights from 10PM to midnight.
And, keep up with all these awesome Strip people on Twitter,
God's gift to the computer-bound.

We live in two different worlds
Everyone knows that China has tight reins on the internet that their citizens see, but most don't realize that the contrast between our internet and theirs is so stark.
Do a search on the U.S. version of Google Images for "Tiananmen," and this is the first result you get.
Do a search on the Chinese version of Google Images for "Tiananmen," and this is the first result you get.
Further search through the Chinese results turns up no images similar to the ones we in America would find.
Understandably, the Chinese government may be embarrassed by the images of the massacre, as most governments would be of their shameful pasts. But do do a quick search for "American slavery" and you'll come up with some pretty honest and harrowing images.
Ain't Democracy great?
Don't cry, Emo Guy
