As my trip to DE draws to a close I’m reminded that back home I’ve found a real butcher and some real pizza. Heck, I’ve even found real gelato.
But after having fresh egg bagels every morning here in Delaware reminds me that I have yet to find authentic bagels in Richmond, VA. Any [...]
Pure awesome sauce. Enjoy.

This afternoon Valerie and I hit the road and head north to visit my brother Mugs, his wife, and their awesome son for the long Memorial Day weekend. As much as I’m pumped to see my family, I can’t hide the fact that I’m equally excited about the food. Delaware, you understand, [...]

The BBC is reporting that Princeton scientists have, for the first time, recorded the first moments of a star getting all ’splodey. Nice.
Tonight, while Valerie is away in Michigan visiting the Herman Miller headquarters, I attended a Movie Reduction Film Festival at my friend Eman’s house. This is my friend Peter’s idea, and here’s how it works (from the Evite):

According to CNN Money, the DC Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the US Dollar violates the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 because it’s unfair to the blind. I think this decision is pretty cool, and I sure hope it spurs a change - however glacially slow a government change would be - in our [...]
