In re: Pasta w/ your bread

Posted on May 07, 2009
Its pretty standard to have a pasta dinner come w/ some kind of bread and I’ll admit despite this combination of starch based dish and then more starches, I am into it and I am just as happy as the next person for a salad, pasta and garlic bread...

In re: Korean tacos & twitter

Posted on April 19, 2009
Yeah, you read the title right, the fusion of Korean BBQ Tacos (a fusion of its own) is big business when fused with twitter.  What do the two have to do with each other?  Well for the Kogi Korean BBQ Taco Truck in L.A. using Twitter to announce their next stop means that when they [...

Host Ira Glass speaks with Harold Wilshinsky about a piece of advice he gave to his daughter and son-in-law over 15 years ago: take your money out of the hands of Bernie Madoff, and diversify.

In re: Huntington Park sponsorships rolling in

Posted on March 15, 2009

In re: Apple has gone insane

Posted on March 15, 2009
This is, in short, a nightmare scenario for long-time iPod fans: are we entering a world in which Apple controls and taxes literally every piece of the iPod purchase from headphones to chargers, jacking up their prices, forcing customers to re-purchase things they already own, while making only marginal improvements in their functionality? It?s a [...

In re: Technology in Soccer Broadcasts

Posted on March 10, 2009
I’ve been surprised (not really upset I might admit) that the television in England hasn’t jumped on all the gimicks of digital imaging and breaking down plays that the US has.  Some of these efforts were complete jokes (the glow puck in hockey, thanks Fox) but others like the first and ten line worked and [...

In re: Passenger trains in Columbus

Posted on February 01, 2009
“State leaders are determined to connect Ohio’s three largest cities by passenger rail as early as next year, an idea that Gov. Ted Strickland endorsed in his State of the State address Wednesday.

In re: Flash coming to iPhone? Still no copy and paste

While there are plenty of fixible flaws with the iPhone’s software (copy & paste, mms, sideways keyboard in everything… oh we could go on) one is support for Flash, which love it or hate it is a reality of the web and when they claim that the whole internet is available in your pocket, missing [...

In re: Blu-Ray? Only if your 20/20

Posted on January 15, 2009
Apparently vision experts in England have concluded that the gains in resolution via Blu-Ray aren’t worth it for many folks, as they can’t see the difference.  Why is that?  They don’t have good enough vision. “But many consumers are wasting hundreds of pounds on high-definition equipment because their eyes are not sharp enough to pick up [...
