The Bourne Ultimatum: 8/10
I saw The Bourne Ultimatum on Thursday. I had originally torrented it, but after watching the first few minutes on my computer, and after having read an article claiming it’s the best American film trilogy I decided it was best to see this one in the theater.
The Bourne Ultimatum was fun. It’s a [...]

I’ve been personalizing the blog a bit more lately. I took about a half hour to read through flickr’s api and write a php code snippet that shows my latest flickr picture above my posts column. I did it to make my photos more prominent on the site, but I still don’t really [...]

In a recent issue of New York Magazine they listed the best burgers in NYC and the Shake Shack wasn’t in their list of 12! The restaurants Prune and Resto got the highest scores, so I’m excited to give them both a shot this weekend.
YouFamous; Not Original or Quick Enough
I just came up with the term YouFamous to describe people that become famous via, and whose fame is primarily limited to, the YouTube viewing audience. Turns out there are already a few matches on Google for the term, although I only count three in their first page of results, and a search on [...]
Gmail Slow to Send Email — and I like it that way
Well, I don’t really like it that Gmail has been slow to send my email lately. What’s happening is, after I click the send button, the client hangs. Safari is showing a request is being made, but the request doesn’t complete, so the client just sits around, doing nothing.
