Last Day in LA
| 08:21 PM
The weather in Los Angeles has been beautiful this month, ranging from a few genuinely warm days, to a day of solid rain. Today, though, it's like an October day in Maine -- clear blue skies, bracing breeze, and voluminous clouds hugging the tops of the hills. What a way to go out. It's been an interesting month, but it's time to come home, after a quick detour through Colorado.

Mark Evans: The XM-Sirius Deal Can't Save Satellite-Radio. I was a longtime satellite radio doubter (jesus, that was 2002?), but I wonder if just the merger of all the major sportsleagues onto one system could be enough to make this work. (Related: the absolute deepest bullshit of 2007 thus far.)

Thomped on that Google hard drive failure data. Though current generation drives may have improved, the last few years at Gawker have been painful.

Snack: stealth opening nyc: mission impossible? Danny Meyer: "Imagine your local hardware store or dry cleaner or deli on opening day. They still have to hang bunting and banners to get attention from would be patrons. All we have to do is turn the key and hold the door open!"

Also: Greg Lindsay files for MediaBistro on fashion bloggers. Great bits near the end about The Sartorialist.
