New Poll; New Links!

First, you'll notice the new poll to the right. It is quite timely as we hit all this heat. What would you do if you had no power and had to beat the heat? (I couldn't imagine living without A/C right now!)

Second, taking a cue from Brian Humphrey at the LAFD Blog, I have further refined the links at the right. I've broken out a new categories of Municipal Nerds and Metro Nerds, based on Brian's Muni-Blogs & Metro-Nerds. Based on his categorization, Municipal Nerds are City-affiliated blogs. Metro Nerds, not to be confused with the Metro Nerds, are the general blogs about regional Los Angeles. Of Course, Neighborhood Nerds remains as such, with some new additions. (This is merely coincidence that this is being posted at the same time as over at the Metro Nerd.)

So, say welcome to...
L.A. Biz Nerd (L.A. Observed Nerd's 1st spinoff)
"TJS in LA" Nerd (general observations on the City - site still in the works)
L.A. Bus Nerd (examining transportation in the City)
Recentered Pueblo Nerd (a South LA/ North East LA realtor who lives in Jefferson Park)
Downtown Nerd (don't know why this wasn't linked, I've been reading it for months!)
Edendale Nerd (why Edendale? think early Silver Lake/Echo Park)
NoHo/Sunland Tujunga Nerd (an interesting pairing of 2 - maybe 3 - East Valley communities)
Lincoln Heights Nerd (Lincoln Heights is more than just the San Antonio Winery)
Lincoln Park Nerd (not be confused with the above Nerd, this Nerd has a connection to the actual PARK)
El Sereno Nerd (El Sereno - do you sense a northeast LA trend? Where's the Highland Park Nerd?)

Check them out; add them to your list of sites to read daily. (I read too many sites; so if they start to be lame, I'll stop linking to them.)

As always, let me know if there is a City Nerd blog missing out there...

And don't forget to vote about keeping cool (at right).
