ROAD FOOD - IE Foodie Truck Event September 17, 2011

Chino Valley is near the WesternU campus and the Chino Valley Foodie Festival was a great way to spend the afternoon following WesternU Preview Day.  My mascot Viggo and I saw the CoolHaus tweet and headed to Don Antonio Lugo High School.  I have meet the folks from the DAL HS at local Junior High Career Days.  DAL HS has a 4H program that promotes interest in animals and potential future veterinarians.  Chino Valley Foodie Festival was a great fundraiser for Chino Valley Unified School District.  A great intersect of education and road food. 

In case you are familiar with Chino, Chino Hills,  or Chino Valley, the IE stands for Inland Empire.  The Suite 106 Cupcakery can also be found at Victoria Gardens in nearby Rancho Cucamonga.Some folks came from as far away as Ventura, following the tweets of @CVFoodieFest, @coolhaus or @getyourlardon, @IE_gourmetfoodtrucks. Better yet follow @truxmap: The world's only up-to-the-tweet food truck tracker! http://www.foodtrucksmap.com/la/

Travel Tech - Mobile App Flight View

An urban nomad can and should take advantage of the many awesome mobile apps.  Some apps help make your travels go more smoothly while others help you be more productive while on the road.  Some apps may help you find the best stuff on the road so you don't miss out.   This is the first of my Travel Tech blogs:

I monitor my flights with the  Mobile App Flight View.  It's on my smart phone and my iPad.  I can search for my flight by route or by Airline and flight number.  Once I find my flight I can see where the plane is coming from.  This is useful when you have the 10:40 pm flight from SFO to Ontario.  If the equipment (plane) is coming from Eugene, your in pretty good shape.  If the equipment is coming from Chicago and there's a big snow storm in the Midwest, be prepared for a cancelled flight.  Flight View is the same as seen on the flat screen monitors at SFO.  You can also use it to track arriving flights when you are waiting to pick-up a friend at the airport.  When your friend's flight is repeatedly delayed in SFO, you can follow the flight's progress through Flight View and get real time detailed status alerts.  You can even follow the plane on the maps a see your friend's progress in the air.  Pretty cool.
