Several months ago we signed up to receive all the press releases that are sent out by the City of Carlsbad. We have yet to receive anything in the way of news from the City. But hopefully, that will change soon. The City has recently chosen to “use Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite to provide a hosted solution for its collaboration and e-mail applications.”
“As we prepared to migrate e-mail systems it was the perfect time to ask the question of whether someone else could build, manage and support a collaboration environment as well as or better and for a lower cost than internal IT staff” said Gordon Peterson, director of information technology for the city of Carlsbad. The city found Microsoft’s solution to be cost-effective and met its security and best practice requirements with the additional benefit of round-the-clock e-mail support.”
Sounds great. Does this mean we’ll begin getting the news? Or, just a big blue screen of death?

Fans of Spirito’s Restaurant & Pizzeria (formerly in the Village Faire) can rejoice as the restaurant (and it’s delicious menu) have returned to Carlsbad. In January Mike Spirto opened the restaurant in the Von’s Shopping Plaza at 2560 El Camino Real next to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Currently Spirito’s is running on word of mouth as Mike and his team get the place going, but from what we saw, the locals are glad they’re back. It’s mostly take-out with a few tables inside for dine in, but there is plenty of food, reasonable prices, nice people. A local tradition that’s good to have back.
