I’ll post some thoughts on November 5th, but from 11/6 to 11/13 and hopefully beyond that date, you won’t be seeing much of me online. I’ve planned a technological detox program (aside from when I’m at work, where I won’t be using NetNewsWire anymore) for myself, as I think I well need it. Maybe need [...]

• The Daily Ritual: Coffee
“Small Iced Coffee, Unsweetened.”
That’s how I order my coffee. Usually done at the Starbucks on 23rd and Park Ave South. Which is around the corner from my office.
Preamble first, so you see where I’m coming from on this habit that most have been on forever. Before, let’s call it, senior year of college, I didn’t [...]

And It’s not a flying car.
Maybe I’ll get one come Christmas time, but I can [...]

My computer is doing it’s best impression of South Park’s stuttering Jimmy.
A few months ago, I bought a MacBook Pro. For the majority of the time since, I’ve not had a single bad thing to say about it. When all of my programs that have a vertical scroll bar (Word, Mail.app, Firefox, Safari, Camino, Final [...]

• Three The Fast Way Monday
The Beast
This is Two Boots Pizza’s Bayou Beast Pizza. That’s BBQ Shrimp, Crawfish, Andouille, and a very very generous dousing of Jalapeños. This is the Greatest Least-New-York Pizza Ever. I mean it’s made in New York City, but at first sight, it’s not of the city that’s so prideful of the tomato and cheese lathered [...]
