For those who don’t work from traditional offices, Blogdowntown had a useful article about wifi locations in the area.
If anyone need suggestions, see my comments on the article:
I usually spend about 2-4 days a week using public wifi spots as an office. Below are the places I’ve been to.
Wifi and power
- Lost Souls: sometimes not working, bad mobile phone coverage (at&t and t-mobile), bad a/c on a hot day
- Lot44 (they finally removed their banner adds)
- Central and Little Tokyo Library (but difficult to talk on the mobile phone without disturbing others)
Places with free wifi, but no power
- Santee Court
- Fiore Little Tokyo (free with purchase, which lasts at least a week)
- Little Tokyo plaza outdoor area – but but coverage is very weak
- 7+ Fig upper outside area
- Ralphs
- Omni Hotel (outside courtyard)
From other comments, two places I need to checkout are: Sip Tea and Blue Dahlia Cafe.

I finally rode the new Central City East Dash line yesterday. It had always been difficult for us to get to Little Tokyo by DASH or Metro. This new line fills in this gap, allowing us to go directly from 7th and Maple to Little Tokyo without transferring to another line. Unfortunately, this is a weekday only service and stops running at 6:30pm.
Since my girls’ current pre-school is located at Little Tokyo and I’ve been taking them and picking them up almost daily, this line could very useful for me. I usually don’t mind 15-20 minute walk to get there, but will definitely be useful if I’m in a hurry.

For those who like to buy fresh produce, but don’t have time to go to the local farmers markets, I ran across to an angelic.com post about a local CSA program available from Tierra Miguel Foundation. We’ll be able to pickup our packages at the Eastern Columbia’s front desk. If there is enough interest from our building, I’m sure they’ll be able to deliver the food directly to us.
The cost is $350 per season for deliveries every two weeks. To sign up, go to the Tierra Miguel Foundation’s contact page.

At Tuesday’s HOA meeting, it was brought up about adding solar power to our roof. In reading my RSS feeds tonight, I came acress to San Francisco Solar Map, which then led me to the state’s Go Solar California program, which has a references to solar installers, contractors, and tools.
Doing some more searching, I found LADWP’s Solar Incentive.

Wasn’t there some previous talk about a doorman security person? Here’s a less expensive alternative.

Not sure if anyone else has already reported the 3 non-functional street lights on 8th and Maple, but I finally got around to calling the city via the 311 line. Report number is 144880. I also mentioned about the intermittent one on 8th and Santee. If anyone else notices other broken street lights, you can call 311 to report the problem.
