So I was at a mall the other day which an a pretty interesting parking system. I have seen a lot of places where as soon as you pull into the structure, there are digital displays that tell you how many open spots there are within that given level. This parking lot at the Century City mall goes one further step and not only tells you how many parking spots are available but as you look down the aisle there are lights above each spot. If it is red, then there is a car there and if it is green then it is open. Also if it is blue, it is an open handicap spot. Now the system isn't exactly 100% accurate but from what I saw, it was pretty dang close and a really neat system.

Weekly Update:
A kind of an odd week for me since I had some time off from work yet I had to make several trip so to LA anyway for meetings and lunches ... how does that always happen?? Well on Wednesday I went to this random birthday party because a bunch of other friends were going to be there and it was at a pretty decent night club. I did meet a friend of a friend:

*Bill Hufsey - Best known from the TV series "Fame" and an amazing and nice guy!

Other than that ... just another easy week but the next one coming up won't be!!! Too much stuff going on next week, more to tell later!

At the movies:
No surprise this weekend as the man of iron holds on to its #1 spot, "Iron Man 2" earns an additional 53 million and now past the 200 mil cume to set the pace for this summer. New at #2 is the re-telling of an old tale, Robin Hood earns a decent 37.1 mil. New at #3 is is the romance story of Letters to Juliet with 13.8 mil. Also new at #4 is the romantic-comedy Just Wright with 8.5 mil. Rounding off the top 5 is "How to Train Your Dragon" with an extra 5.1 mil as it keeps going and going.

Other News:
Seems the time for disasters is all around us. Just recently there was the big oil rig explosion off the coast of Louisiana which they are still trying to plug up the leaks that are pouring thousands of gallons of crude oil into the sea. Tennessee is hit with major storms that caused flooding the likes of which they have not seen in decades and are getting little to no government relief, in fact are mostly being over-looked. The Iceland volcano is still causing problems and minor earthquakes on the west US coast are still popping up. Is Mother Earth trying to tell us something? We have certainly taken her for granted and it worsens each year. For every one step of help we try to do, we take 5 steps of damage in the process ... when will the reverse start happening?!
