Photo credit: Tony Green My friend-who-I-never-get-to-see Tony Green recently enjoyed a delicious cherry pie.  The title of his post is "First Cherry Pie", which I thought meant that he made it, but it seems he had help from his significant other. "I didn’t grow up eating fruit pies (homemade or otherwise) other than the occasional…

Tony Stark, I mean, Elon Musk on the Tesla company blog: At Tesla, however, we felt compelled to create patents out of concern that the big car companies would copy our technology and then use their massive manufacturing, sales and marketing power to overwhelm Tesla. We couldn’t have been more wrong. He also writes that “Tesla…

Anthony Bourdain, who has it in his contract with Travel Channel that he must explicitly approve all uses of his name/face, etc: So it came as a shock and a disappointment to turn on the TV for the last two episodes of my show, and see that someone had taken footage that me and my…

Professional comedy writers Colin & Eliza Devroe, authors of The Misguided Twitter Guide and The Misguided Facebook Guide, are back to tell you the truth. Many people think that The Biggest Loser, a TV show about people exercising 8 hours a day for 6 days a week, eating healthy and losing incredible amounts of weight…

WordPress.com, to be specific, now has an API that mirrors the Twitter API. This effectively allows any Twitter client, such as Tweetie or Hahlo, to read and write to WordPress.com powered blogs only by changing their API endpoint. Hopefully this feature will be available via a plugin sometime in the near future? /via Tony Schneider.

Mondays are notoriously the least favorite day of the week. The end of the weekend. The beginning of the work week – no matter how you look at it, it isn’t good. Which is why I love that No Reservations is on Monday night. What better way to cap off an otherwise crappy day? Tune…

My friend Tony Green, whom [I’ve mentioned before](http://cdevroe.com/?s=tony green), has done an excellent job covering his experiences at Philly Beer Week 2009. I’ve always had aspirations to attend this event in Philadelphia and have yet to make it. So I live vicariously through Tony. Thanks for the coverage Tony!

New York is easily one of my favorite cities. The last time I was there I had the privilege of eating some really delicious Thai food, drink at an authentic Irish Pub, and scarf down 4,000 calories worth of White House burgers. Where else can you do that? The Thai food that we had was…

I have a confession to make. I only watched the first twenty-five minutes of No Reservations – Philippines on Monday. Why? Because I was tired after playing many hours of basketball. Why else? Because I didn’t think the episode was any good. So I shut it off. Went to bed. And awoke the next morning…

We all have our obsessions. Wine. TV. Guinness on draught. The Internet. Photography. Traveling. Religion. Books. Anything composed or performed by Jack White. LOST. Art. Wall calendars. Star Wars. The warm underbelly of our cats. It doesn’t matter what it is that you obsess over, what haunts your dreams, what you put down in your journal every single day,…

For this episode of No Reservations I thought I’d jot down some notes while I watched the episode. So here they are, in order as they happened while I watched the show, and without any editing. The opening sequence comparing the states of mind of areas like Los Angeles to the fact that Chicago is…

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Though I can count, on one hand, the number of times I’ve been to Chicago – I know that I don’t particularly care for the city. It may have to do with the bad experiences I had there – I mean, I did see a few million dollars slip through my fingers during…

THE AZORES Being on an island is somewhat of a unique experience. Most of the places I’ve traveled have all had a cultural impact that slowly spiraled out from its epicenter. On an island, however, it always seems like the aftershocks go in the opposite direction — from the outside, in. The ways and influence…

WASHINGTON, DC. Stereotypes are made to be broken. That is the saying, isn’t it? Maybe it isn’t, but it should be. I try to live my life in a way that ignores conventional wisdom, bucks the status quo, and defies the general rule. I’m no rebel. I could never pull off the leather jacket. But…

My friend Sameer Barkawi, distinguished actor, and fellow writer at TUG.n (though I’ve been absent for a while) recently jotted his thoughts down about Iron Man.  Here are a few key points from the review. "Would I recommend this film? I think so. It’s not a strong recommendation, though. Consider it an appetizer for the…

So Chris, Mike, Matt, Eliza and I headed to Philadelphia for the Webloggers meetup as well as other activities. This meetup was kind of bittersweet for me since there was so many people that attended it wasn’t possible to get even just a few minutes with each person to "meetup". When we first arrived Jen…
