Writing Better HTML & CSS presentation
Here is a great presentation that was given by Chris Coyier at the Future of Web Apps (FOWA) in London. I love anyone that is trying to push better standards and cleaner code, so let’s all give him a hand. Yeah for the semantic web. Whoot.
Recommended Reading for October 2011
I was having a bit of a bad run of reading in the past few months, so it was a refreshing surprise to have hit three good books in a row. Finally! Things that I recommend for this month? Super Sad True Love Story – by Gary Shtenygart The Art of Fielding – by Chad […]
Love Ramen? Get Lucky Peach magazine
All I can say is that I am amazed by this magazine. If you haven’t heard of Lucky Peach and you call yourself a “foodie”, you might as well go cry into your Korean taco at the over-televised food truck and continue watching Top Chef while you pretend to appreciate art. Lucky Peach is a […]
Brunch at The Chat
We had a nice little brunch this weekend to celebrate the unveiling of the new kitchen at The Chat. I set up the Canon 60D camera to do a timelapsed recording of the event. There was a photo shot every 30 seconds for about 4 hours. All in all we ended up with about 400 […]
Prepare to be disturbed – “Snowballs” by Harmony Korine
Harmony Korine really traumatizes me. He is best known for writing Kids and for directing Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy and Mister Lonely. This video that he filmed for Proenza Schouler (the fashion company) is no different.

Toddlers and Tiaras 20 years later
Toddlers and Tiaras is such a trainwreck of a show. I can’t help but think that it is child abuse in some way, shape or form. But that also doesn’t stop me from watching it. I have always wondered what will become of these sad little creatures of commercialism and Funny or Die has answered […]
Why I’m excited about the Amazon Kindle Fire
Amazon announced its latest line of Kindles today and the much anticipated Kindle Fire. I’m so excited for this! I have owned every Kindle since their first release and this will be no exception. I love my Kindle and I feel like I’ve been cheating on it lately with my iPad because I can’t justify […]
Watch streaming video on the iPad or iPhone to your TV
This might be one of my best nerdout’s yet. Have you ever wanted to watch streaming video from your iPad on your TV? It is super super simple. All you need is a cable from scosche, an iPad (iPhone or iPod) and a TV. Then you are good to go. I love this little device. […]
Android App of the Week: Muni Alerts Pro
Hello, San Franciscans! If you live in the city and take Muni, then this is the app for you. Muni Alerts Pro by Ross McFarland. I use this thing pretty much on a daily basis to figure out when I have to tromp my butt up to the J-Church and also on my way […]
