Issue: January 05, 2012
Hi, folks.
This week, our Bob Grimm takes a look at the grim results of 2011's movie releases and finds them wanting in the extreme. In Green, Ashley Hennefer has a look at whether there are health risks and privacy concerns in the use of "smart" electricity meters. Ashley also gives us an interview with music man Hector Urtubia in our 15 minutes feature. Dave Preston will tell you about El Volcan Taqueria in Sparks and Brad Bynum reviews the work of Tim Abel, now on exhibit on the curved walls outside the Reno City Council hall.
Thanks for reading. Remember, if it weren't for you, we might have to go to the movies.
