In re: Jamie Oliver?s Food Revolution

Posted on May 19, 2010
I heard about this show (and identically named campaign of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution) on ABC a long time back and kind of forgot about it.  Recently I heard it already aired, but thanks to the magic of Hulu I was able to watch all six episodes of the show...

In re: Karma Building

Posted on May 18, 2010
On University Avenue in Palo Alto, Calif., about as close to the heart of Silicon Valley as it’s possible to get, there’s a little two-story building not far from the train station. It’s got a vegan cafe on the first floor. Otherwise, it’s not all that remarkable...

In re: Sevilla

Posted on March 18, 2010
Been in Spain now for over a week and have really been enjoying it. Figured I’d throw up a picture from sevilla here just by the Alcazar Palace and the gigantic (worlds largest depending how you measure it) catherdal here.

In re: Does Arnold control the weather?

Posted on March 06, 2010
It could be just a coincidence, but I doubt it.  Somehow Arnold, that is Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California can control the weather in Columbus.  This weekend is the annual Arnold Sports Festival here in Columbus, OH.  It began as a body building event but has grown into a huge fitness event that while still [...

In re: Crew Stadium #1 stadium of the decade?

Posted on March 05, 2010
Stadia magazine is a pretty intense industry magazine from what I can tell on just what its says, Stadia.  It had ads for grass companies, seating and in-depth articles on the newest of those as well.  They recently in their 2010 showcase issue  celebrating their 10 years as a magazine had a list of ”Ten from [...

In re: Dante Reviewed

Posted on February 17, 2010
Dante, a newly open restaurant in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, OH isn’t actually a new restaurant.  A few years back Dante opened for a short time (not sure if it was a year or more) in what had been and would later become again the Lock keepers Tavern in Valley View, OH...

In re: Aerogels the next home insulation?

Posted on February 04, 2010
Dr. Peter Tsou of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory once said, “you could take a two- or three-bedroom house, insulate it with aerogel, and you could heat the house with a candle. But eventually the house would become too hot.” So why haven’t we all been spraying our building’s with the stuff? Unfortunately, for the past [...

In re: Hello This American Life.app

Posted on February 02, 2010
Just saw on Ars Technica that This American Life has come out with an iPhone app.  I for one being a huge fan couldn’t be happier – why you ask?  Well the current podcasts are great, but often times when driving on a road trip I’d love to catch up on some older episodes, can’t [...

In re: Immigration could be path for Cleveland.

Posted on January 23, 2010
“The Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland, the chief planning and fundraising agency for the region’s 80,000 Jews, is committing resources to a center designed to attract international talent and investment. It’s offering expertise, start-up funding and the prospect of an enticing location — its headquarters building on Playhouse Square...

In re: Vermouth?

Posted on January 06, 2010
Vermouth’s commercial origins date to 1786, when Antonio Benedetto Carpano began marketing the aromatized wine he produced in Turin, but the consumption of vermouth and its precursors stretches back centuries. Typically made from neutral-character dry white wines that have been flavored with herbs, roots and barks – typically including cardamom, cinnamon, marjoram and chamomile – [...

In re: Clever Crow Pizza

Posted on January 06, 2010
Hadn’t really heard anything about the place, but had seen it walking past with my dog a few weeks back so when given a chance to go jumped on it.  If you don’t know Clever Crow Pizza is inside the Circus bar on High St. just north of 5th Ave in Columbus...

In re: Bar Symon

Posted on December 29, 2009
Bar Symon (Avon Lake, OH) Bar Symon sits in a strip wall west of Cleveland in Avon Lake, honestly I can’t say I have a great sense where it is since I wasn’t driving and wasn’t paying too close attention to it, but its definitely a ways out there for a former east sider who when [...

In re: Cuban coming to Columbus

Posted on November 20, 2009
The Plaintain cafe put up a sign in it’s Gay St. window a long time ago when it was still a gutted space. Over the passing months I’ve been waiting excitedly for this Cuban restaurant. While I love El Arepazo and it’s many Latin options aside from their core Venezuelan menu there can never be [...

In re: Passionately defending a made up history

Posted on November 15, 2009
“Spurred by an administration he believes to be guilty of numerous transgressions, self-described American patriot Kyle Mortensen, 47, is a vehement defender of ideas he seems to think are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and principles that brave men have fought and died for solely in his head… Right there in the preamble, the authors make [...

In re: Another football story: ?Is It Time to Retire the Football Helmet??

Posted on November 11, 2009
“One of the strongest arguments for banning helmets comes from the Australian Football League. While it's a similarly rough game, the AFL never added any of the body armor Americans wear. When comparing AFL research studies and official NFL injury reports, AFL players appear to get hurt more often on the whole with things like [...

In re: Football, dogfighting, and brain damage

Posted on October 25, 2009
Football, dogfighting, and brain damage : The New Yorker. Interesting article by Malcolm Gladwell about head injuries in football.  One of the interesting things that he raised when I saw him on PTI and before I read the article was his comparison to boxing that after an acknowledgement of the huge physical/mental toll boxers will have [...

In re: Playoffs full of ex-Indians

Posted on October 08, 2009
Good for them, but definitely sad for an Indians fan to see so many ex-Indians playing all over the playoffs.  Was thinking about this while watching the Cardinals/Dodgers series that seemed like almost everyone had been an Indian, “flyout from Belliard to Ludwick...

In re: Is the public option ?big government??

Posted on October 06, 2009
I was struck recently that people in our country are really good at seperating government they like and ‘big government’.  I was up in Maine, in Acadia National Park, which is  truly one of the most amazing places I have been.  While on several ranger led hikes through the park I got to thinking about [...

In re: Van Halen?s Brown M&Ms Contract Rider

Posted on August 23, 2009
Heard about this recently on an episode of This American Life talking about the Fine Print in life.  One of the stories was about the story behind Van Halen’s contract rider specifying there should be M&Ms backstage, but the brown M&Ms needed to be removed, and failure to do so resulted in full payment of [...

In re: Tim Hortons ads work

Posted on August 18, 2009
For some reason I like the idea of Tim Hortons. Yeah that might sound strange as it’s a big chain and I tend not to be into chains. Well for one I don’t really put my liking the idea into actual visits , but still something about it being Canadian, being formally owned by Ohio [...

In re: Soccer gaining traction?

Posted on August 17, 2009
Thought this was a good column about the US v. Mexico game by Bill Simmons who isn’t really a soccer guy, but claims he is getting into it (and was into it enough to travel down to Mexico to see the game in the Azteca).  I’ll tell you, one of the major attractions for me [...

In re: Champions league on FSC

Posted on August 17, 2009
While I might not be a huge fan of Fox News (or fan at all),  I think I going to be happy with the move of Champions League Football from ESPN to Fox Soccer Channel this year.  ESPN never made the tournament a priority, didn’t work to get an HD feed even when showing it [...

In re: Spicy Teriyaki Tuna

Posted on June 29, 2009
Its not often that I make anything Teriyaki.  I am not sure why I treat Teriyaki with such distrust, somehow I see it as the dish non sushi eaters get if forced to go grab sushi (great Curb Your Enthusiasm on that).  Anyway, the other day I was craving grilled tuna, you know the super [...

In re: Food inc.

Posted on June 07, 2009
I haven’t seen it yet, but I have been waiting for Food Inc. for a while.  The movie is just about set to open up in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, it doesn’t come here to Ohio (Cedar Lee in Cleveland Heights) til July 3 – see opening dates here, but I imagine [...

In re: The pain of losing

Posted on May 25, 2009
I grew up with plenty of losing sports teams in Cleveland, Ohio.  For decades it was the norm and I was fortunate to happen in time when the Indians got hot for more then half a decade.  Additionally I was alive for some good cavs team (although I was young), but then Jordan got in [...

In re: what is a center-cut chicken breast?

Posted on May 12, 2009
What the hell is “center-cut chicken breast”?  Wendy’s from right here in Columbus, Ohio is advertising its spicy chicken sandwich, a longtime staple of the Wendy’s menu.  But what is a center cut chicken breast?  Are they referring to the location of the chickens breast? or are they referring to the fact your getting a [...
