Abandoning Ship

1 comments

I began my exploration of the blogosphere, and my contribution to its clatter, with Blogger, so this decision does not come easily to me. However, I have decided that effective immediately I will no longer be providing updates to this space.

You see, my heart has been stolen by the instantaneous gratification & ease of use provided by Posterous – and to a degree Tumblr to which I auto-post occasionally – and it just seems silly to maintain this extraneous outlet.

That said, I have spent a good amount of time fiddling with this site – more hours than I care to admit actually – so I will be leaving it open for the time being as a back-up.

The Internet, its inhabitants, and myself included, are a fickle bunch. Who knows, maybe in a year I will be writing a post just like this one on my Posterous page.

the apple Tablet | Nearly as Mysterious as a Unicorn

0 comments

What an image. A perfect merging of apple fanboy with the ubiquitous unicorn present in nearly every geeked out Lite-Brite image. Steve Jobs has us in the palm of his hand -- right where he wants -- and much like the elusive unicorn, we are all trawling the internet looking for scraps of evidence of the oft mentioned, but never confirmed, apple tablet.

Only a couple of days now. Also, highly recommend you read the article on engadget that the picture links to; a good read.

epic Breakfast | Eggs Benedict Bash

0 comments
Not sure how we all landed on this idea, but sometime between Tanya mentioning her recently received egg poaching pan as a belated Christmas gift and waking up this morning we hatched the delicious concept of a massive eggs benedict pig-out fest. I took these pictures around 1:00 pm this afternoon -- it has taken until now for my brain to de-hollandaise itself. So tasty, but man was it a hit to the stomach. Watching Dave make the hollandaise sauce was particularly intense, all those egg yolks, all that butter. 

Can't wait to do it again.

meat meetup | Stuff White People Like

0 comments
Had a very "Stuff White People Like" moment this morning when I went to the Meat Meet at a random parking lot off central square. Read about it here --  http://www.cuisineenlocale.com/2010/01/meat-meet-january-23rd-10am.html -- so despite the cold wind & the call of a warm bed I trudged out this morning to get my meat on. Bit pricey, and I haven't cooked anything up yet, but if the gushing praise I heard from everyone assembled can be trusted, I am in for quite a treat. Love a bit of locally raised, grass fed beef. 

Guten Appetit!

What can you buy in a CVS? Some schamwow, pills, and that masterbating
machine that Conan showed off. Don't forget Beenie-Babies. What a
store.

design | Fail Whale & Peacock

0 comments

Snagged this gem off Mashable this afternoon. A graphical blending of two iconic images that hail from completely different realms of media -- the 'fail whale' of Twitter & NBC's peacock. Such a simple way to illustrate the internet's mounting discontent of NBC. Had to share

extra Income | Market Research Particpant

0 comments
Hey every little bit counts -- maybe I can pick up a couple of extra shekels doing some online surveys or, even better, in person focus groups. Always do enjoy sharing my opinions. If you are interested, registration is a breeze, although completing all of the Demographic information (so that they can best match you to a client) is a slightly more involved process. 

Thanks to @Tanyavell (http://twitter.com/tanyavell) for turning me on to this!
