Monday I was on my own. Byron forgot some stuff so I met him for coffee by his office across the street from the Farmer’s Market. This was actually fortuitous as it gave me a chance to sample the “best mac and cheese” from Beecher’s that really was quite delicious. Beechers makes their own cheese right […]
Sunday in Seattle
Sunday morning we ate breakfast (this time actually before noon) at Top Pot. Byron was quite embarrassed by my insistence on dipping my doughnuts in milk until soggy. We sat outside and my dripping milk made an embarrassing (albeit delicious) mess. Next we took a bus to an area closer to UW and walked down […]

On Saturday, for the first meal of the day (I’m refusing to call anything after noon “breakfast”), we walked to Coastal Kitchenfor some really great Mexican inspired scrambled eggs and hash browns. On the way there we passed the very first “starbucks experiment.” For those not in the know, Starbucks has become aware that it is […]

I’ll give this one win to the iphone..
It doesn’t have a stupid NASCAR APP that you can’t remove… (like the Pre does)
musings on art
this…? or this? Perhaps this has been discussed before, and I wouldn’t be surprised, but I thought of something last week that I never encountered in five years in art school. I have a rather obvious dismissal for the value in abstract (or bad) art. Perhaps everyone knows this but simply doesn’t want to hear […]
iphone for business
Here is yet another great reason the iphone is “great for business.” (in related news, my buddy is at this conference live…working for black hat!)
