The North 200 block of Brand (Ave? St? not sure) in Glendale is almost a vagabond paradise. 24-hour Kinko's with free power, Starbucks with free power, an espresso place across the street from Starbucks with outdoor tables and free wireless (SSID NETGEAR); Goodwill store; other things probably, but that's pretty good. Throw in a park where I could sleep and it'd be perfect.

Almost got the Hipbone game running as an application using Java Web Start. If that link works, it means I finally nailed it.

Purists grimace at my "free power" shit above; sure I know it's not free, TANSTAAFL and all that, but it's an abbreviation for "power provided by the company at no additional charge, with the expectation that you will pay for other products while you are there". You don't want me typing that out every time do you? All right then, you type it!
