Sol Tucker sent me these pics… one of the LAST PIZZA made at the original Ledo Pizza in Adelphi.
The owners are taking the pizzaria legend (55 years) to a new location in College Park. Sol took a shot of the shop in it’s last operating hour … where he said the nostalgia was cut short when the power went out during the storms. Watch: Angie shares the shots on TV

If you haven’t had your fill of soccer just yet, come out to watch some games and support a good cause. Street Soccer USA, an organization focused on eradicating homelessness and poverty through soccer programs and community building, along with HELP USA will be holding the 2010 Street Soccer USA Cup in DC this weekend at the Washington Kastles Stadium. The SSUSA Cup will bring more than 200 players — comprised of homeless men and women from around the country — in a competition to see which team can take home the Cup title. The top 8 players will go on to represent the US at the Homeless World Cup, which will be held in Brazil next month. While the soccer matches are free, you’ll have to go online and reserve your e-tickets for the game of your choice. For more information on the full schedule, check out their website at streetsoccerusa.org.
When: Friday, July 30 – Sunday, August 1
Where: Washington Kastles Stadium
Corner of 11th & H Sts. NW DC (Right above Metro Center stop)

It is a social media guru’s worst nightmare. Spilling a bottle of water on their computer. In a matter of hours my screen was blank. There were no signs of life. I took your advice via twitter and facebook:
-Pour rice on it = #fail
-Take to Apple ‘Genius Bar’ = #fail (their solution was $750 repair or buy a new one)
-Wait to see if ‘dries out’ – #fail #fail #fail
Then I met Luis of onCALL 25/8 based in Alexandria, Va. I dropped my Mac off but was happy to hear they have an onsite mobile service where they come to you! I feel more connected than ever with Luis keeping me posted on the progress via onCALL 25/8’s Facebook Page. PS- I ‘liked’ this page immediately and if you have a computer you should too!
After removing the hard drive from the macbook it is not only apparent that the liquid came into contact with the drive, but also that a short circuit was produced, damaging very very tiny electronic chips.
The spill flowed right through the spacing around the keys and right onto the motherboard and hard drive… with the machine still receiving power through the battery those components fried. (Angie’s Tip: Don’t make the mistake I did and turn on the computer after spilling liquid on it.. this is a #1 no no)
We cleaned the board and ‘baked’ it in our reflow oven…still no signs of life. But…we don’t give up until we find a cost effective solution. The board is about $600 but we may be able to fix it for a fraction of that price.
Stay tuned…. and say a little computer prayer for me please
