If there is anything in the culinary world more centering than pizza I don’t know what it is. We all have our favorite toppings, styles, and even ways to eat it. Folded in half, the way all true New Yorkers do, maybe two pieces on top of each other, or even eating it backwards crust-to-tip. […]

A really great story published on the Flickr Blog the other day. As it turns out, some one lost a camera, some one found the camera, and then someone went to great lengths to return the camera.  After turning the camera into police, and they not finding the owner, they gave it to the person […]

Another link to Michael Mistretta’s site.  In case you missed it the other day, "Going Beyond Automattic". This time Michael chimes in on the slow, yet steady, growth of his site. When comparing steady growth over "initial launch hype and fast growth" he remarks: "But it’s definitely more valuable than quick, unloyal, unfocused traffic." Dude […]

Photo credit: Paul Stamatiou. Holy timely post by my friend Paul Stamatiou Batman! Paul managed to get his paws on a few different laptop bags best-suited to fit his Macbook Air.  Since the Macbook Air is a 13" computer, I’m assuming this will work for my black Macbook as well. I’m in the market for […]

An inspiring story of a morning run by Dylan F. Tweney, whose training to run a full marathon and was having trouble getting passed the 14-mile mark. "Training for a marathon, it turns out, is an exercise in mind control and reality creation. […] To make it work, you have to play all kinds of games to […]

While in Las Vegas Kyle, Rob, and I stopped at a Peter Lik photo gallery.  His gallery in Caesar’s Palace is breath taking (as I stated on Twitter but spelled breath wrong).  I didn’t know he had a gallery in the Venetian and Mandalay Bay, else I would have been sure to fit those in too. […]

Fun piece in the New York Times on what makes the perfect chocolate chip cookie. "Like the omelet, which many believe to be the true test of a chef, the humble chocolate chip cookie is the baker’s crucible. So few ingredients, so many possibilities for disaster." If you ask me, all you need to make […]

Justin Blanton weighs in on the NetNewsWire iPhone application: "Since installing the app, I find myself reading news a lot more in bed, before I get up in the morning. I roll over, grab my iPhone (which is sitting on the nightstand because I used a podcast to help me fall asleep) and start rocking […]

There is no way to say this without sounding like a complainer, so I’m just going to say it and, well, sound like a complainer.  And maybe I am so I’ll just embrace that and move on. K? Oh, before I begin, let me just say that I’m completely open to the fact that I […]

Michael Mistretta, easily the youngest author whose blog I’m subscribed to, recently took a trip to Zambia.  In "Going Beyond Automatic: Photography in Africa" he gives the broad strokes of what the "Automatic" setting is on your camera, and how it takes practice to master "Manual" mode. He also talks a lot about why it […]

I’ve been a member of John Gruber’s Daring Fireball since, and perhaps John can correct me if I’m wrong, nearly the first day he made the membership available. I’ve been a reader for even longer. After a while (I’ll take a stab and say a year but I can’t remember) he decided to open up […]

Some blogger I am, I didn’t even mention that I was going to go to the New Media Expo in Las Vegas.  Well, I did. And it was great. And you should have been there. But now onto my point and why I used the above photo in this post. Las Vegas is like Podcasting. […]

Funny how just last night, lying in bed, Eliza and I were discussing this movie.  Today, after going through my feed reader ((Which I’m so far behind on it isn’t even funny.)) I see a link from John Gruber’s Daring Fireball to Kevin Cornell’s blog post about his working on a graphic novel for The […]

I’ve been trying to remember where I first heard about Brand New, a blog by Under Consideration, because I wanted to give appropriate credit.  But alas, I can not. Brand New is a blog that covers the world of corporate and brand identity as it relates to work that has been recently released.  This blog […]

My friend and Viddler team member Kyle Slattery recently relaunched his Web site.  He explains his thoughts on the design and development in this post, which got me to thinking.  Having your own Web site is a truly awesome thing. Especially on today’s Internet. I’ve had "my own site" for as long as I’ve ever […]

The above photo was posted to Flickr from my iPhone a few minutes ago.  I wanted to show off, in all its glory, the new desktop picture I’m using on both my Macbook and external monitor courtesy of Mark Bixby. But this brings up something that I’m completely torn over.  Where should I post my mobile photos? […]

Some prefer to eat three times a day.  Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.  It seems that lately people in my country seem to skip the first meal, generally eat the second meal on-the-run or too quickly, and eat the last meal of the day far too late in the day. Then you have the health conscious individuals […]

Even though I don’t like Spotlight’s window in Leopard as much as I did the one in Tiger, I still use Spotlight extensively to launch applications, find files and directories, and search through documents, email messages, instant messages, and much more. However, more and more data is being stored "in the cloud" and so Spotlight […]

Brightkite, in their infinite generosity, sent me a few stickers that I could give away here on my site.  When I got them in the mail yesterday I immediately began to think of a fun way to give them away, and I think I’ve come up with an easy and fun way. Photo credit: Chris […]
