Dollar tacos at Great Mex on a friday

Had definitely forgotten Great Mex did dollar tacos on Friday as well a Tuesday. No leftovers from thanksgiving this year, so a perfect pick-me-up dinner! Yum!

No waves today...so sad.

Views on the way to a unique thanksgiving on the beach

Thanksgiving

thankful for the mountains and snow;

the ocean and waves; 

the beach we now live on

 and the mountains we still call home

Happy Thanksgiving!

Home made pecan pie. A very delicious start to thanksgiving!

Our Del Mar warehousing didn't make it's delivery date today...so sad. Getting its finishing touches saturday. Hopefully end of day or sun?

Social Media and Android

Amazingly, there ia no easy way to update fb fan pages with photos from a mobile device. iPhones can...but even the fb app for android doesnt let you. So how to do it?

There are always options such as ping.fm to update everything on-mass using such apps as pingdroid or anypost, but even so, no photo updates to fb with photos. We've found that setting up custom posting groups on ping.fm allow us to post closely to what we want. Custom groups on anypost seem to error out.

But what do we mean when we say "closely to what we want?"

It all comes back to facebook fan pages and the inability to post images on our android phones. We can use pingdroid to post text updates to all our social media sites, so we've created a posting group for just that. We can post status updates/mini-blogs with photos to everything but fb, so that gets a posting group too. Then of course there are full length blogs; that excludes fb and twitter, so we've created another posting group for this too. The annoying thing is that we have to separately post pictures to fb via email. As of now there is nothing for android that does it all in one fell swoop.

But hey, at least we've finally found a way. So definitely be on the lookout for new and exciting postings!

Huntington Beach remembers Andi Irons

Surfers and surf fans alike gathered at the huntington beach pier to remember Andi Irons, the former 3x asp world champ. Irons, 32, tragically passed while traveling from puerto rico to his home in hawaii after pulling out of a contest due to illness. Well over 1000 people attended a memorial for the former champ, which culminated in a traditional paddle out at the end of the hb pier.

Around the same time Kelly Slater secured his record 10th world title, dedicating his win to his staunchest rival and friend, AI.

RIP Andy Irons. Without question on of surfing's greatest athletes and competitors.
