News Updates

6/11/2009 - Recovered

We're slowly putting the pieces back together on the site. Thanks for your patience.

6/8/2009 - Joys of being hacked

Last week, we had a little problem with a hacker roaming around the web server changing files and inserting a link to their site. Most likely a worm but there's nothing we can do about it since we don't own the server. Looks like they are back in full force changing ALL files this time. Not sure when it will get fixed. In other news, it's partly cloudy today.

6/8/2009 - Hackery Part 2

It looks like they are going to rebuild the servers tonight. We might be down for a couple of days. Ate at Taqueria La Bamba today and had carnitas and pollo asado tacos. Loved all 3 tacos. Jose had Pollo Asado burrito and claimed it was possibly one of the best he's had. That's 2 visits to La Bamba in the last month with both visits being incredibly solid.

5/6/2009 - Thanks to Akiko

For the update on Sakae Sushi, "Hiro Endo (the owner) opened a new restaurant on California called Noboru - it's actually just a short walk from Sakae. You should check it out. Noboru is a beautiful space - higher-end and totally different than Sakae. It has a great back room area for events. They're in the process of transitioning Sakae to Noboru, but not sure when that'll all be finalized. In the meantime, Noboru is open as Noboru."
