This just makes me proud. Love it.
BaoHaus NYC: Asian American Bao Burgers
Last week I was in New York en route to Asia. A couple of Manhattan friends, novelist Monique Truong and restaurateur/chef Pichet Ong, suggested that I check out BaoHaus, a new Lower East Side snack joint serving up Taiwanese stuffed buns called gua bao. BaoHaus’s buns are not round, filled b...
Some of the commenters to this post are complete asshats. Keep it together people.
Sale Spoils
>> The spoils of the Christopher Kane sale have already been feeding back to me so this is just another reminder that it's still on for another day and that they're restocking for today I hear too... I went fairly early with no long queues to contend with unlike last time when it was also bitt...
Basically...no.
Loopwheeler
Loopwheeler is a company in Japan built entirely around a vintage fabric machine called a loopwheel. The loopwheel produces only enough fabric each day for 12 sweatshirts, which goes a long way to explaining the cost (the sweatshirt I'm wearing set me back around $140 CAD). But if you have a d...
Ass hat is a totally underused pejorative. Also acceptable - ass clown.
For the Lost Fanatics - Lost: The NES Game
I know you Lost fanatics out there would pick this baby up in a heartbeat. The bigger question is, what are the selling features of a Lost NES game? My ideas below, but please, I could use some help from all you Losties. Oh and uh, **spoilurz** be up ahead, so you know, be weary: Shadow Level...
It's from Club Monaco - not sure they have that wherever you are.
Trending in My Closet
I opened my closet the other day and discovered that, unbeknownst to me, it had started to...trend a little. The grey sweatshirt is popping up all over the place, but the reddish-pink shirt I seem to have adopted all on my own. I'm hoping that if I leave it alone my closet will start to tre...

Brave and bold, the way it should be.
Defining Disability
My parents always taught me that it was rude to talk about money, but I'm going to disobey them just this one time (heh) and talk about how I support myself. It's a subject I rarely if ever talk about, because it brings up a great deal of shame, although it SHOULDN'T. But all of this is intercon...
Am baking these right now and wow, does this recipe ever work. They are the closest I've found to the ones we had not in Paris, but in St. John in Smithfields. Awesome. Thank you so much.
Bergamot Madeleines
Let me start this post by saying I'm a madeleine snob. A bona fide, unrepentant madeleine snob. Don't talk to me about those nasty little packets of "madeleine" by the cash register at your Starbucks. They're awful, with texture seemingly composed, somehow, of paraffin. Those buckets of s...
Son, you are 5',6" and 108 pounds. My desk feels obese around you.
If the Shirt Fits, Wear It
If you're 5', 10", with a 32" waist whatever size is considered standard, chances are you've never had a problem finding clothes that fit you. But for the rest of us, with our odd shapes and sizes and thick thighs and broader than hipster shoulders, finding off-the-rack clothes that fit just r...
Mike, we went there almost every day we were in Paris! My god that brings back memories...
Ceci m'a fait le sourire (Pt 1)
Paris from the dome of Sacre Coeur Ah, Paris. City of joie de vivre, esprit de corps, and that certain je ne sais quoi. After I won David's competition, and secured my two free Eurostar tickets, David asked if I'd write a post or two reporting back from my travels. So here I am. If you're on...
Craziest lookbook ever.
Reading the Radar
>> I'm not a huge fan of Tumblr style/image-based blogging. It's like the mental stream of consciousness without words and more often than not I'm presented with beautiful images but wondering why the person who posted it thought the image worthy of a spot on their Tumblr/blog or what not. Tha...
Just clicked through it and sent it to my fiance. Totally inspirational.
Our wedding got featured on "Once Wed" today :)
I received a nice email from OnceWed.com this morning. They saw some of our wedding pictures on Saja Bridal and wanted to do a feature on it :) Of course i couldn't resist!! And it's up already! Kolla!!
I'll be damned = Comodus WAS an emperor. And Maximus was a name...only, don't tell me they didn't choose that with a distinct purpose. Maximus indeed.
Retire the Term | "Chick Flick"
"Chick flick." I can just see the first time someone used that to refer to a movie. Oh man...I have the perfect term for this movie my wife/girlfriend/friend/sister/cousin wants me to see. What a nomenclature genius! I'll admit it - I'm one of those guys. I know all about bra sizes, and feminine...
I'd call it more dry than mechanical.
Put This On | Web Series
I don't know how I haven't heard this mentioned anywhere other than a tech blog. Put This On is a just started web series about "dressing like a grownup." The production value is high, but much more important than that is the spirit of the video - completely open, friendly, and, well, awesom...
Well...I respect you more for doing so. (You anal bastard.)
Karl Lagerfeld is eating breakfast at a small cafe
Karl Lagerfeld is eating breakfast at a small cafe around the corner from his office. On the table are several items, all spaced evenly from each other: a spoon; a knife; a fork; two boiled eggs (soft-boiled); a glass of orange juice; a macchiato; toast made from bread so thin it is almost tran...
Still using my PS2, that I bought eight years after it was released. Extra bonus - all the games can be had for a song.
Get Great Gadgets. And Keep Them.
We love cool gadgets as much as anybody else. We just want to be thoughtful about the stuff we've bought. Even the most cutting-edge, tech-savvy geeks in the world are choosing to hang on to their phones or their iPods that still work just fine. Why shouldn't I just buy the latest and greatest ...
Aaahhhhhh....Hwil Hweaton. Oh yes indeed.
You'll get nothing and like it...I don't have shoes...on and on.
And this completes a lovely weekend.
just in case you wanted to talk about tonight's TNG reunion on Family Guy...
