orange county: Gorgeous Light Blanket of Snow Falls on Saddleback Mountain - 12/16/08 05:05 PM
Yesterday's winter storm dropped a gorgeous light blank of snow on Saddleback Mountain. Rancho Santa Margarita and Trabuco Canyon sit on the western base of the Santa Ana Mountain Foothills. In my 40+ years I've never seen it snow in either RSM or Trabuco Canyon, but I always look forward to seeing snow on Saddleback and I'm always out there trying to get the perfect picture to capture the moment. It doesn't snow very often on Saddleback Mountain and the snow certainly doesn't stick around for any great length of time. To get a decent photo of snow on Saddleback

orange county: Social Media Connections, Twitter & Quid Pro Quo Bring Additional Exposure - 12/15/08 03:01 PM
I've had an unusually busy last few days. On Friday morning I happened to see a Tweet by my friend Morgan Brown that there was an OC Tweetup. I am fairly new to Twitter and I had no idea whether a Tweetup was an actual or a virtual meeting. It turns out that it can be both. Silly me! I received the Tweet at 9:58. The Tweeup began at 10:00. There were several OC Tweeple in attendance, so I dashed out of the house and headed for Coffee Bean in Lake Forest. I was excited to see Loren Nason. Loren was

orange county: Praying for Snow on Saddleback Mountain - Santa Ana Mountain Range - 12/15/08 02:24 AM
A winter storm is blowing into Orange County and I'm crossing my fingers, hoping that a light blanket of snow will fall on Saddleback Mountain. I am somewhat obsessed with snow. Having grown up in Orange County, CA, I regard snow as a special treat. I associate it with hot chocolate, a nice crackling fire in a quaint chalet, and several days worth of lift tickets. It has never snowed at my house and I have to admit that I'm a wee bit jealous when I read other ActiveRainers writing about the first snowfall. Ann Hayden of Wildwood, MO wrote about

orange county: Giving Back Feels Good - 03/20/07 07:01 PM
I found Austin & Anthony Aceves and their mother Megan Aceves manning a lemonade stand on the corner of a street in my neighborhood. Three ordinary people doing what they can to make a difference in society. The boys, who attend Vista del Mar in San Clemente, are participating in their school's drive to support the Luekemia and Lymphatic Society School & Youth Programs. Even at their young ages the Aceves boys are not strangers to fund-raising. Last year they raised money for an animal rescue group. The boys are excited to be involved and are looking forward to continuing their endeavors on an annual basis. The

orange county: Localism Better than News? - 03/11/07 11:58 AM
I am, I confess, a news junkie. It drives my family nuts. If not for the advent of DVR my kids would probably be parading around the house with picket signs reading "Give us back our mother!" or "NO news is GOOD news!" It's not so much that I love the content of network news - more that I want to know how the media is reporting the issues and how the public appears to be receiving that news. In fact, more often than not, I get a wee bit riled. I find that many networks capitalize on their viewers' perverse desire
