There is a review of the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood in Escape in News.Com.Au. This has been one of the great hotels for ages, although I have never stayed there since it has quite frankly looked yucky from the outside. It is an indictment on an area when the Holiday Inn appears to be the nicest hotel around. When the Kodak theature was built, there was a hotel built as part of that which looks nice, and now they have renervated the Hollywood Hotel. Might have to stay there next time I am in the area.

News.COM.AU is reporting that Optus might be having significant reliability issues in the near future as capital expendature is witheld from the organisation due to lower profit figures and flatterning growth. I would guess that the only reason that Telstra are not having such issues is that they are much larger, and with size comes some natural capacity to cover any issues. Not that they are not happening, but more hide them.

EZPrezzo has a photo of an amazing model made of lego of a soccer stadium. I have no idea where the stadium is but it might actually be at LegoLand. Regardless it is a pretty amazing sculpture. Also on the subject of sculpture and art, artist Pro Hart is very sick with Motor Neurone Disease, and is currently in a critical condition in hospital.
