WatchYeah. Definitely going to try the whole popcorn-dipped-in-pickle-juice thing. (I already eat mine covered in Frank’s Red Hot sauce.)
Nike Mayfly →
I know it’s incredibly wasteful, but I’m fascinated by the idea of a shoe designed to be used only a few times (or in a few races, I guess) before it’s thrown away. Or put in a odor-proof trophy case.

DYFL?: Just gonna put this out there →
…since I’m following the Apple press conference. Yeah, I have an iPhone 4. Yeah, I’m that guy.

Dinner at Alinea →
I just don’t know if I have the vocabulary—or the reflective distance yet—to describe what it’s like to eat at Alinea. I mean, there are tons of reviews that give you the general idea (the decor, the funky sliding door that opens into the dining room, the award-winning service), but I don’t know if anything can really capture the experience of the whole thing. It was,...
