Scariest Republican Ever
via boingboing.net I'm thinking this guy and Sarah Palin should get busy, produce some kids together, and start a new American Republican dynasty. Posted via email from Mark's posterous Continue reading

Nice is Nice This Time of Year
We blew off the big boat excursions today, choosing instead to set off on our own, at our own pace. It was a great choice. We snagged a train to Nice, made our way to the market, and spent the... Continue reading

In Nice
Well, technically, we're in Beauliue-Sur-Mere. Clyde is much improved, and was able to enjoy yesterday in Cinque Terre and today in Nice. We had chic pea crepes for breakfast in the local market, and hope to have lunch at the... Continue reading

In Monterosso
After a rough start (Clyde came down with a severe sore throat just before we left the USA), our cruise is underway. Today, we're in Cinque Terra, doing a whirlwind tour of the five seaside towns. It's a pre-packaged excursion... Continue reading

Hi, Brian. Thanks for the question!
Actually, I find myself using the iPhone and the iPad (which is wi-fi only) for different things, at different times of day.
- First thing in the morning, I have a habit of checking emails on the iPhone. It just feels faster and easier. Later, I compose replies at my computer or on my iPad.
- I tweet from my iPhone far more than I tweet from my iPad. (And because so many friends and I keep in touch with SMS text, the iPhone is the best solution for that.)
- I take a *lot* of photos, and so I use my iPhone constantly for those.
- During the day at work, I tend to rely more on my iPhone to check in on Reeder RSS articles.
- I always use my iPhone for things like ScoutMob (the discounting dining app) or UrbanSpoon, but this is mostly out of habit.
- Research, though -- trip planning, for example, or deciding which gadget to buy -- is always done on the iPad, because the iPhone seems too small of a window on the information Im chasing.
- When reading books, I far prefer the iPad ... unless Im outside. Then, because the iPad screen is so reflective, I find I switch to the iPhone!
Looking at this, some patterns emerge. When mobility is most important, I default to the iPhone. When visibility is most important, Im using the iPad. When Im outside, I prefer the iPhone, but when indoors, I prefer the iPad. When Im on the go, I tend to default to the iPhone. When Im fairly stationary, I default to the iPad.
So: rather than saying Im using one less (though, of course, I am, in a way, because now I have options I didnt have before!), Id say Im using both, more often, but differently. :-)
What Do You Use Your iPad For?
Last week, a co-worker spotted me in the hall and said, "I see you with your iPad all the time. What do you really use it for?" As it turns out, my iPad and I had been the focus of a lunch table conversation. Beyond watching movies or reading books on it, people just couldn't imagine what my iPa...
What a nice tip. Maybe it'll be stormy day, and our late afternoon trip to the Colosseum will be "after dark" anyway! :-)
Thanks so much!
Visit the Colosseum and Baths of Caracalla at Night
Celebrate your Saturday night a little differently: From August 21, take a guided evening tour of the Colosseum (until October 2) or Baths of Caracalla (until October 23). The option is especially exciting for the Colosseum, since the tours will include the subterranean area underneath the a...

After much googling around, Mandy, I was really happy to find your article on this event, which gave me the exact information I needed. I called in, followed your instructions, and was, unfortunately, too late. (Apparently, all tickets are sold out for the Saturday we'll be in Rome.)
Even so, I really do appreciate the detailed information -- and your site, in general. You're doing a great job.
In one other place, I've read there is a 22:30 night tour that must be booked on the day of admission, and that it can be purchased only from the cashiers in person. Have you heard anything about this?
Wishing you well -- and happy to provide you with everything you could ever want to know about Atlanta, should you ever visit here! :-)

Umbrellas for Jesus?
via pinktentacle.com This poster -- circa 1981 -- is part of a series designed to teach Japanese subway riders proper etiquette. All those umbrellas you've been leaving on the subway? They make Jesus really depressed. Here in the States, a... Continue reading
