“He was lights-out. We had two runners at second base the whole night and that was it. I don’t know how many he struck out, but it was more than fingers on my hand.” Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox — who has fewer than 14 fingers — talking about Tim Lincecum | Continue »

Hopefully the first of many games. Cain on the mound, a playoff atmosphere in the park. We just need one win. | Continue »

It’s been years since I sat down to lunch at noon and spent the entire afternoon at the table, slowly, dreamily, eating (and drinking) the day away. After today’s languid five-hour meals at Daniel, I wonder why I got out of the habit. The idea for this lunch grew out of another long lunch, when Daniel Boulud and Colman Andrews... | Continue »

Michael Ian Black: The lesson I take away from it is one I hope I’ve been learning over the years: have gratitude for what you have and forgive yourself for what might have been. We are all failures in one... | Continue »

Now that I'm limited to a four-color palette three days a week, I am obsessed with all things black, white, red and gray. That's gray with an "a" by the way. The new job has a rule about it. This mini dress might be too short for work, but how chic is it in red? Plus, if I were the type of girl who went straight from work to cocktails and gave a shit about what I looked like, this would be perfect! Of course, the reason I'm working is so that I have money, so I guess I probably... | Continue »

I had never heard the expression "wear it" used much until I met my good friend David Tokheim. It's such a great baseball expression. The Giants’ magic number is three and each team has one more game to play before the Padres arrive Friday. So the best the Giants can do is clinch a tie for the NL West before the final three-game series begins. There’s nothing worse than watching an opponent celebrate in front of you. Come this weekend, one of these teams will have to wear it, as the ballplayers say. And they’ll think about the year that... | Continue »

Six Apart acquired by VideoEgg. End of an era since I've been with 6A pretty much since the beginning, working in that old dental office, hammering away on emails seated between the CEO and President. We used to all go to lunch together way back then. I got married and had a daughter while at 6A. I got to be totally open about who I am (i.e. a Burner), and got to work closely with Tokyo, my home. It's a new chapter, and this makes sense in many ways. But this is a biggie...no more "Six Apart" where we called... | Continue »

OMFG EDIT. Joe from I Am A TV Junkie offers up this first hand experience with the pants-crapping joy that one experiences in the presence of a TV goddess. Um... again I can only say: wow. WOW. FroggysPhotos Flickr stream is dedicated to celebrity appearance events where our betters briefly step down from their pedestals on high and walk among us mortals. You know, comic conventions and the like. The result is pure comedy gold. I could spend the whole day looking at pictures of people more socially awkward than I am. In this photo, the nerd (left) and Morena... | Continue »

Dear TypePad bloggers, It's been almost a decade since we started Six Apart. With you, the bloggers and creators, we changed the way people expressed themselves online, empowering anyone to publish and build large and... | Continue »

There I was, working from home on a day where our office had no water nor internet, planning new features for a fine blogging platform, when, all of a sudden, my droopy dream pop beats were interrupted by my landlord... | Continue »

After a string of meetings, all one can really ask for is something to re-energize you. Most people go for coffee, but of course I, being the 5-year old child that will have a tantrum if I don't eat every 2 hours, high-tailed it to the kitchen to grab a delicious combination of snacks. After a few minutes of noodling over my options, I decide on something salty, something gummy, and then a couple pieces of dried fruit to make me feel better about my other selections. Normal people would wait to get back to their desks to start snacking,... | Continue »

Ian Knauer's Sticky Balsamic Ribs are my favorite recipe from Gourmet's last July issue. Smokey, sweet, tangy and sticky, they're wonderful party food on a star-filled night when you can eat outdoors. The meat falls off the bones into your mouth in a very appealing way. Serve them with tiny new potatoes roasted with onions and whole cloves of garlic,... | Continue »
