Steal These Banners!
Since Los Angeles is in the midst of a heat wave, I’m going to have to make this one short. Effin’ Nerds has finally stepped up our game from the Little Leagues to the Minor Leagues in the blog promotion biz. We’re making banners in hopes that someone will steal them and post them all over the Internet. No fancy downloading service here… just right click for the full size and steal away after the jump.

Nom Nom Truck
Looks like Nom Nom ain’t just for cats. Humans love to munch, too. I was delighted when the Nom Nom Truck appeared near my office park today. I will say that the Banh Mis are worth $5, but being a girl who grew up on them, it just seems wrong to pay more than $2. Inflation! I had the grilled pork banh mi and it was delicious. They also offer BBQ pork, Lemongrass chicken, Tofu, and the “Deli Special” — which I suspect is the OG banh mi with the fatty meats and pate. If you happen to see the truck parked near you, pull over and pick up a 12-inch for five bucks. It’s totally worth it.
You can get more information at nomnomtruck.com or follow their schedule on Twitter.
Here is their weekend schedule:
Friday, March 12th:
11:30AM-2:30PM:Ocean Park and 31st

In Yesterday’s News: Coachella Lineup is Confirmed
The only reason that I even bring it up is that I am still so irritated that Gorillaz got top billing over Pavement. It’ll take me a while to let this one go. Let me tell ya. See the full lineup at the official website: coachella.com/event/lineup.

Bing.com is Awesome!
OK, so I am a Google fan and haven’t used Bing.com much, but that all changed tonight. I was cruising around the site and found it to be incredibly deep and useful. And I’m not just swayed by the fact that Cambodia was on the main page today. I searched True Blood and found that my results were broken down into relevant categories like: News, DVD, Cast, Wallpaper, Theme Song, Quotes, Videos, and Images. This isn’t enough for me to switch from Google for quick and dirty searches, but for depth and fun factor I will definitely be adding Bing to the menu.

Now This is Apple LOVE!
I’ve been on a Craftster kick lately and today I came across this gem. It’s a “Victorian meets Glam Rock” Macbook case. OMGLOLYAY don’t you love it? It was handcrafted by a woman in Florida. And you can see the evolution of this laptop case at Crafter.org.

Spencer’s on the Go – French Food Truck
I never have a craving for French food, but this little truck is fantastic and dangerously close to my home. The take-away outpost for Chez Spencer, Spencer’s on the Go has a small menu including Foie Gras Torchon, Escargot Lollipop, and Frog Legs w/ Curry. The price point is a bit high for the average Joe, but I gladly shelled out $12 for my Foie Gras. Sorry about the dark pic, but I popped in for a late-night snack.

Totally Gratuitous Pics of Don Draper…er, I mean Jon Hamm
In honor of the third season of Mad Men, I thought that I’d remind us all of the number one reason to watch: Don Draper. Played by the gorgeous Jon Hamm, Don Draper is the most debonair character on television. Enjoy the pics!
