Underground Eats
File under “things I didn’t know about 505 Flower before tonight”: Despite almost everything else in the complex dropping their shutters after lunch, Saffron stays open until 9 PM. So now I have an option other than Subway, Carl’s Jr., Famima, The Standard or Casey’s. Even better is the fact that it’s Indian food. Which…

The Last 5 Songs I Bought On iTunes
One of the reasons I love iTunes is because it lets my sometimes questionable and eclectic music tastes be sated with a small handful of button pushes. Yeah, the DRM is a janky pile of shit — as all DRM is — but being able to scratch an itch right away is worth a buck…

Two iPhone Apps I’d Like To See
Like most of the other geeky iPhone owners out there, I’ve been playing with Installer.app lately.

Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
This isn’t a music blog or anything, but for whatever reason I can’t seem to stop playing these songs over the past week. So I thought I’d share them with the lot of you. Sharing, after all, is caring… Interpol – Evil — This is probably one of my favorite Interpol songs out of their…

My friend Justin has gone and tagged me with the “Five Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me” meme that’s been making its way around the internets. Since I never met a meme that I didn’t like — although I refrain from participating in a lot of them here — I feel I’d be letting…

My Twttr Ponies
Like any good internet beta whore, I just started using twttr. And while it’s pretty cool and rather promising, there are a few things that I really wish it had… For starters, a simple JavaScript based badge would be nice. While Flash is nice for some things, I really don’t think I need to load…

Good Weekend
I compelled to do a proper post about the weekend Sarah and I had — but everything I’ve written down doesn’t seem to do it justice. Instead, I’m just going to borrow from my gal’s playbook and do a stream of consciousness type list of some of my favorite memories from our weekend together… Walking…
