A Southern Barbecue Experience →
At age 27, I’m ashamed to admit as a fanatic carnivore, I’ve never had proper barbecue until today. Sure, I’ve been around it, smelled it. sampled it. I was even fortunate enough to attend the Big…

Mixing Arts
One of the great things about owning a good camera is it gives you the excuse to take photos of ordinary things when you haven’t been anywhere all that exciting and it’s been too cold to go outside take photos of your own city. (waaah, waaah)
Last night, I wanted to cook a meal before Kelly and I headed out on our road trip zigzagging through the Midwest and South ultimately ending...

The 5D Goes Public
Last night, I took my new camera outside of my house for the first time. I told my photographer-phrend Aleksandra that I would be bringing it to her husband’s show. A wonderful band called the Nightrats were playing at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg.

And change "break" to "brake."

A New Dawn
I don’t make stupid purchases. If I want something, I do my homework to the point of exhaustion and in the process probably annoy many good people around me. It’s okay, I later cook them curry and they forget all about it.

The ‘Mad Men’ Dilemma →
“First The Sopranos. Then The Wire. Why you might be suffering from Quality Show Fatigue.”
After Kelly and I finished watching all five seasons of the incredible Six Feet Under series, we were searching around for The Next Show. After a couple of false starts (ahem, Gossip Girl) we finally listened to our friends and watched Mad Men. Holy shit! Best show ever since the Sopranos?...
