As much as I have an enthusiasm for LA, and certainly recognize the amount of talent there (plus I’d love to live there), I’m kinda okay with this ‘start a Silicon Valley-based Entertainment Studio’ notion.

EV-DO handy cams to produce content and iPhone/Kindle like device to consume the same on the go.
