A lot of bloggers like to recipe-blog. I’m not one of them, because I’m a terrible cook. Maybe I’m not terrible, but I refuse to even try, so there’s no way to find out if I’ll ever be good at it. My only food-making abilities involve great scrambled eggs, a perfect PB&J, and good steak-grilling. [...]
I’ve heard of product tie-ins, but…

Watching the Giants-Seahawks game on Fox right now, and I’m just wondering: given that Washington state is currently searching for a couple of convicts who busted out during the weekend, maybe the Fox guys could stop promoting Prison Break so heavily during the broadcast.
Living in Sin

Just as my last night of bachelorhood wasn’t exactly filled with strippers and belly-shots, our first weekend of living in sin was pretty laid back. Our main activity was watching flicks, leading to this truly bizarre assortment of Hollywood offerings: So I Married an Axe Murderer Showgirls Kill Bill, Vol. 1 Sign ‘o’ The Times [...]
Is it racist to call it Black Friday?

I don’t know the answer to that question, but if you’re looking to buy me stuff and avoid going to a mall, you oughtta go to my wish list on Amazon! It’s worth checking out, just for the novelty factor of having the Metamorpho collection followed by Jane Jacobs! The official VM fiancee isn’t much [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

The official VM fiancee moved in yesterday, and we celebrated with a double-feature of So I Married an Axe Murderer and Showgirls! I got a light dust of snow to fall during the night, so she woke up to a peaceful view of our suburban future. “Wow,” she said. “The only thing we’re missing is [...]

Figured out Flickr this morning, and posted a bunch of pix from that Madrid trip. Enjoy.
Bachelor Party!

It’s my last night of bachelorhood, dear reader! The official VM fiancee is moving in tomorrow, and I’ve been living it up in style tonight! That’s right: Now that I’ve gotten over my ass-whomping case of the avian head-cold, I did laundry, cleaned the bathroom AND the kitchen, and also had a long phone conversation [...]

Got socked with the office head-cold. Grr. Amy & I are about to head down to Philadelphia for a friend’s wedding, so I’ll suck it up, take some Airborne, and leave you with this quote from Latrell Sprewell’s agent, Bob Gist: Anyone who thinks he should play [$1.1 million], that’s absurd. [...] He might as [...]
Vaccine, drug: whatever
Nov 17, ’05
10:00 AM
I don’t know why I get worked up about this stuff, but there’s a boneheaded editor at the NYTimes who today decided that Tamiflu is a flu vaccine. It’s not. It’s a drug that treats the flu. There’s a world of difference. The writers of the article, Andrew Pollack and Tom Wright, got this correct, [...]

Neat interview at BusinessWeek about innovative retail achitecture with New Retail author Raul Barraneche: [W]hat interests both the company and the architects involved is the fact that retail spaces are, by nature, building types that allow for innovation. Stores offer quick turnaround times, as opposed to, say, a residence or a museum. [...]To paraphrase [architect] [...]
