Nobu 57 →

I had lunch today at Nobu 57. It turned out to be substantially better than both Chipotle Mexican Grill and Time Warner’s cafeteria (my two most common lunch spots). How does Chipotle stay in business with Nobu offering such a tasty alternative? Weird. I think soon everyone will each lunch every day at Nobu, especially now that there’s one in midtown.

Red One and Super 8mm at last! →

Now I know why I’ve been waiting so many years to get my 8mm film scanned. Forget high-def — I want 4K!

Watch

iminlikewithyou: caro: Julia Allison and David Karp get trippy while Charles Forman really just wants to eat some Asian barbecue. Hey, guess what, I did the camera work. Guess which one I’m dating. I watched the entire video. Maybe I need to get a job.

“In the movie, the mob gains a rationale — ‘protecting the children...”

– Game Theorist: Who is Horton Some thoughtful commentary on Horton Hears a Who. (I have to defer to him on this, because Cassie and I left before the end of the movie. I think she liked the movie, but about 30 minutes before the end said “I want to go home.” So we left.)

Sure, there’s singing. There’s dancing. There’s fun. But Cassie knows to keep the focus where it counts, on the cookie.

Roxio BackOnTrack 3 reviewed (and recalled) →

How does software this bad get released? The tests went so poorly that the company pulled the software from the market. But this sort of thing should never happen in the first place.

Millions of bees loose on Calif. highway →

Not a particularly important article, I’ll admit, but I liked the use of the term “bee wrangling” in the last paragraph.

Cassie loves both whales and dolphins, so this will be pretty fabulous from her point of view.

Restaurants may be furious, but the idea that you can pay $25 for a last-minute table at Nobu or Babbo is fabulous.

Apple, Apple, Apple

I spent 45 minutes at the Apple Store on Sunday night, explaining that my new MacBook Air was broken. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Apple yesterday, explaining that my MacBook Air was broken. So why did I have to spend 50 minutes on the phone with Apple tonight, telling the phone rep that my MacBook Air is broken? And why can the Apple rep — who was very nice — only tell me...

BlackBerry!

I’ve given up for the moment on my hacked iPhone (running on T-Mobile). My new BlackBerry Curve (on AT&T) arrived on Friday and after some serious fussing with settings, I now have my personal email on a BlackBerry. It works great, though it means that for the next month I’ll be carrying two BlackBerries with me all the time (work and personal). Nerd alert! Added bonus: the...

MacBook despAir!

The hard drive in my brand new MacBook Air is toast. When the Air crashed and wouldn’t reboot, I figured I had just corrupted something — and since I’m a recent switcher, I wasn’t surprised I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. But when I finally found the Disk Utility, I discovered the drive itself had died. S.M.A.R.T. errors etc. Back to Apple it goes, less than...
