1313 Mockingbird Lane was much better than I expected. Worth it for the visuals alone, including the Victorian house with the Golden Gate view, the clothes and the interiors. But that's to be expected from the creator of Pushing Daisies
** Not for kids though -- very dark.

Looks like I'm not the only one to have seen a bright meteor/shooting star just now in the Oakland Hills.
There was a loud rumble afterwards too -- wonder if something hit?

Anyone want a leaky washer drain pump?
I'm a bit surprised at the so-so construction of the guts of my mid-range front-loading washing machine. The drain filter is basically a cup with holes -- which means that debris can get into the plastic pump easily. Oh and getting to these parts requires removing 18 screws and three rubber retaining clamps which means no-one ever cleans the filter.
At least I replaced the spring-clamps with proper hose clamps on the new pump.

A new album by Mark Mallman, very catchy. If you don't know his work read this review:
Frankly, Double Silhouette, his latest, is the album the Killers were trying to make with Battle Born – an epic, gorgeous pop album filled with arena-ready choruses. But he does it in a way that doesn’t make him sound pompous (sorry, Killers).
