No Daily Brief today, but lots of interesting links

I'm borrowing a page from former (current?!? never-really?!?) Hart Board member Chris Fall by saying that today, with a heavy heart, I can't do the Daily Brief. Sorry but fall is allergy season for me and it's hard to focus and type out a Daily Brief with a shredded pieces of Kleenex in your hand while sneezing on the keyboard. 

But stick around Santa Clarita.com because there's plenty to read today. Lady Ducayne, our resident SCV food blogger & photographer was on a tear yesterday, reviewing the awesome Mom Can Cook Thai restaurant in Canyon Country (notably located near the Den of Sin and the Greatest Strip Mall in the World), then popped over to the local wandering burger restaurant Cousins Burgers, which is now located in Cnayon Country. Finally, our intrepid and gastro-intestinally-fortified food blogger swang by a new restaurant in the Bridgeport Marketplace where, sadly, Lady Ducayne was disappoint. 

If food's not your thing this AM, have a look at my Chrome Tabs: WonkBook: The House's Debt-Ceiling Bill is...wow, Wired: The Second Coming of Java : A Relic Returns to Rule Web (or...Holy cow- did you know Twitter runs on Java?!? Yeah the same annoying program that bugs you to update all the time?), KHTS: Hart District Board Member Won't Serve Second Term in Office (did he really even serve a first or even attend a Board meeting?, The Verge: Bill Gates Admits CTRL-ALT-DEL was a mistake (incidentally, I'm running on Windows 8.1 Enterprise now, and let me tell you, it's a huge improvement over Windows 8), Boy Genius Report: Netflix 4k Streaming Will Require Twice as Much Bandwidth as US Average (they estimate 15mb/s needed to stream 4K content, meaning I could stream three simultaneous 4k shows via my TWC 50mb/s connection. Right TWC? Right?!@?) Facebookers discuss how a semi-truck fire on Sierra HIghway took down TWC Internet yesterday for much of the SCV, could Hyperloop be a reality? The Verge reports that engineers from SpaceX, the highly-successful private rocket company that is flying missions for NASA, are jumping on board Musk's other dream project, the 800mph vacuum-tube train Musk wants to build from LA to SF. 

Oh, and last but hopefully not least, I am selling my Samsung Galaxy Note II Smartphone (Verizon) on eBay. The phone is rooted and has custom ROMs available for it plus lots of extra items like cases, and charging docks. If you know anyone who might be interested, please send them this way. No shipping costs if I sell it to an SCVer!

That's it from this end have a great day today!
