There’s nothing more awkward than having an unstable relationship with your neighbors. You forget to scoop the turd of their sidewalk or you let a branch grow a little too much and you run the risk of creating hard feelings with people that you’re compelled to see everyday. On top of that, add the fact that your neighbor may have an negative view on...

Watch20 Minutes with the Nikon D90: Jason Zada proves that with an amazing camera that renders beautiful HD quality video and a little imagination, home movies will never be the same again. The more of these sample videos I watch, the more I’m convinced that I need it. I’m contemplating trading in my D80.

Forgetting to Write
Do you ever think that we sometimes let technology take over too much of our lives. Yes, the whole purpose of all these breakthroughs is for it to make it less complicated to cope with task and really have more control over our routines but it can also have quite the opposite effect in diminishing simple acts such as calling rather than texting or writing rather that typing.
When was the last...

In continuation with all the wedding planning, we’ve decided to have a destination wedding in Puerto Rico in May of 2009. After endless emails and phone calls with several locations, we narrowed our venues to two, both of which we’ll be visiting to finalize reservations on when we fly down to the beautiful island in October.
As far as the attendants, instead of letting the guest list...

With 10.5 update, Apple has taken advantage of the release to not only patch some hiccups but to refresh a very underused icon for me; the iDisk icon. Cute little purple thing. Apple icons have always been aesthetically pleasing to look at and I sometimes wonder who the designers behind some of these are. Mike Matas is currently one employed with Apple but specific work that he or others may...

Not that I would vote for her to begin with but Matt Damon’s statement got me thinking that I don’t know much about the nominee also.

Mini Cooper Crossover Concept →
BMW has just released a series of sketches of their new Mini Crossover Concept. Beautifully designed vehicle that exemplifies works that of Jonathan Ive. I’ve always been fascinated with the sporty look and practicality of the car especially living in a nearly congested city like New York.

Redefining my Blog
Through the magic of social networks (Facebook, MySpace), I’ve had more people that know me come across my blog who casually read it and ultimately ask about it’s purpose. While I can’t come up with a straightforward response to describe it, I would probably define it as a fusion of thoughts, links and imagery that I deem interesting at the moment and care to share with other...

A Retrospection of 9/11 →
Sean spent a year trying to avoid these photos because enough had been publicized in the media of the horrific events that occurred 7 years ago. These are 64 photos that he took as the events unfolded.

ShapeShifter now Facade →
Some of you may recall a small application called Shapeshifter for the Mac that allowed you to transform overall appearance (desktop, windows, buttons, menus) of your computer through themes. I was a religious user and had no reservation paying for the software but since the inception of Leopard, creators failed to make it compatible so the application fizzled. In comes Facade. Same concept, same...

Friend: have you seen some girls walking around with sweats and the word "Juicy" imprinted on their butt?
Me: yeah, I have actually.
Friend: how is it that they can get away with wearing stuff like that and we men can't wear pants that say "hard as algebra" in the crouch?
Me: that's a great point. For that same reason, I haven't been able to wear the pair I bought. It's still in the closet.

As a New York, I’ve always considered Union Square to be the mecca of unusual sights in the city. Aside from the Farmers Market during the weekends, on work days you would come across an array of tourist, business people and unique individuals which includes Joe Ades who enthusiastically sells his product in a corner of the plaza.
Joe loves the peeler, which he sells for $5. “I love it for...

The 75 Skills Every Man Should Master →
“A man can be expert in nothing, but he must be practiced in many things. Skills. You don’t have to master them all at once. You simply have to collect and develop a certain number of skills as the years tick by. People count on you to come through. That’s why you need these, to start.” (via tangpreston)

WatchI must have been really bored over the weekend because I took a bike ride around the neighborhood with small camera in hand and shot this. Editing was done with iMovie and custom music composed with Garageband.

Weblogs Not Always Conversations →
I’ve always considered weblogs and the ability to comment on them to go hand-on-hand and never thought otherwise but lately I’ve grown more akin to the fact that you may not always need them. It all depends solely on how you present your content. Is your content conversational or presentational? Cameron provides a well put metaphor on the matter:
Is a conversation the best metaphor...
