Oculus VR’s long road to store shelves is going to be a little longer than some had hoped.
The virtual reality company, which Facebook bought for $2 billion last year, announced Wednesday that it plans to launchits headset device in the first quarter of next year.
Oculus has high hopes for virtual reality, saying in its announcement that the technology would “transform gaming, film, entertainment, communication and much more.”
The launch is a seminal moment for the video game industry, and for the high-flying startup. Until now, most virtual reality technology has come in the form of prototypes and development devices shown at trade shows and high-profile announcements.
These Tacos were Loco
Recently ate at Taco Asylum (http://www.tacoasylum.com) at The Camp in Costa Mesa and appreciated their establishment. I really like this restaurant because of what they bring to the table which is a modern twist on a great Mexican dish, which is the taco, as well as providing craft beers and their specialty bottled hot sauces at a great location (The Camp; http://thecampsite.com). The execution of this was well done and there were small details that really made the difference. It was an enjoyable experience, our waiter was really friendly, but in terms of value I feel like it wasn’t all there. The tacos were small especially the carne asada tacos, they barely had any meat and they cost three dollars plus so I wasn’t to satisfied with them but that’s probably because I’m used to getting my tacos from carnicerias (butcher shops) or taco stands in LA where they cost 2 dollars and are double the quantity. Maybe if they had sourced their meat from grass fed cows and pasture raised pigs, along with having local small farm ingredients and heirloom corn tortillas, then I would have been fine with the price but that wasn’t the case. Regardless this was a fun experience with some interesting flavors and good ambiance. Definitely check it out if you are looking for an afternoon snack!
Captain Marvel: A Shero We’ve All Been Waiting For!
Although a long way from the expected release date in 2018, “Captain Marvel” is great news to the empowerment of females in the film industry and everywhere. The world needs more female superheroes to look up to that are not sexualized in their role. Rumor also has it that Angelina Jolie will direct the film! Good job Marvel Studios. We are heading in the right direction in helping close the gender gap and give the world a strong female to admire.

The Anaheim Packing House
The packing house opened in 2014 and has quickly become a mecca for foodies and craft drink connoisseurs as well as small business supporters. This location is a renovated Sunkist packing house that was built in 1919 that has transformed into a food hall with an environment that promotes creativity and community.
The space itself is set up to accentuate its heritage and give a modern twist on the building’s Spanish Colonial Revival Style, while also aiming to make the setting feel like a South American or European public market.
It is home to a variety of Merchants that either serve food, drinks, or both which makes this a great place to come enjoy with friends and be able to have different foods to chose from so that everybody can eat what they want, while also being able to try new food.
Rise and Shine
Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.
