When my friend first pointed out this article to me from the San Jose Mercury News about a new app being released in Walnut Creek that provides, “an alert when the green light is about to shine” I thought it must have been meant as an April Fool’s joke. But the app, called Enlighten, is linked to Walnut Creek’s traffic lights and will chime to alert the driver of an impending green light.
Read the article here and tell me whether this is a solution looking for a problem.

A couple of weeks ago we saw a pre-preview of Coffee Shop in downtown Walnut Creek and they will be opening tomorrow morning at 6am according to their Facebook page:
At last, the announcement a lot of you have been (patiently) waiting for…
Coffee Shop will be open for business tomorrow morning at 6am!
Featured roasts include Stumptown, Sightglass, Four Barrel, Cafe Grumpy, JBC, Bard, George Howell and Kaldi’s. The inside looks stunning, it feels really spacious and looks like a fun place to hang. Check out more photos of the inside below including a closeup of the natural wood-grained bar seating area. Also note the stereo on the table in the photo below. I can’t wait to check this out!

The wait is over as Ramen Hiroshi is now offering Sapporo, Asahi and Kirin beer which will go great with a bowl of ramen or appetizers such as gyouza, takoyaki or chicken karaage. Yum!
