I just posted a Depeche Mode song, in memory of the first real concert I ever attended. By real, I mean without my parents, and at an actual venue. An older child of a friend of the family had an extra ticket, so my parents let me tag along. I t...

tumble on over...

2008-02-06T00:38:18Z

For the past couple of months, I've been posting over on tumblr. It's a really simple (fun?) interface, and good for posting links, pictures, music, and other short content. It also pulls data from various feeds, like my del.icio.us links, flickr ...

... Or at least that's how I'm feeling after Brooke and I have nearly polished off 20+ pounds of turkey since Thursday. Along with two turkeys (one smoked and one roasted), we had a tasty spread of sides: brussel sprouts with bacon, celeriac sou...

"a 1985 Burgundy casts the same dark spell as a 2007 peppermint schnapps."

2007-08-03T00:43:19Z

Frank Bruni had a hilarious column this week entitled Fine Diner to Riffraff: Tipsy Tales of 4-Star Benders, in which he talks about people who go out to elaborate, multi-course meals, and end up completely trashed (and trashy) by the end of the n...

The return of home grocer?

2007-08-01T22:22:56Z

I just saw a shiny new refrigerated truck going down the street with "Amazon Fresh" painted on it. (too slow to whip out the camera though) I hadn't heard of that, and neither had google (well, i finally found something a few pages in...), but a...
