Slurpee Fun

It's a magnificent day in New York City, and I've been walking from client to client all day.

There's nothing comparable to walking into an office, looking at people tired of working inside, and having them exclaim, "WHERE DID YOU GET A SLURPEE!!!"

The 7-11 at 6th & Lexington, and I'm going back outside now...

A correction published in Tuesday�s Wall Street Journal:

�The wireless technology called CDMA stands for code division multiple access. An article Thursday about an investigation of Qualcomm Inc. incorrectly said the acronym stands for code division multiple complaints.�

I just saw a sticker on a newspaper stand that said "celebrate neurodiversity".

<seinfeld>What does that mean?</seinfeld>

I assume they're promoting proper embryonic differentiation, but I can't be sure.

Argentina On Two Steaks A Day

Best Travel Article Ever.

Argentina On Two Steaks A Day: "

The classic begginer's mistake in Argentina is to neglect the first steak of the day. You will be tempted to just peck at it or even skip it altogether, rationalizing that you need to save yourself for the much larger steak later that night. But this is a false economy, like refusing to drink water in the early parts of a marathon. That first steak has to get you through the afternoon and half the night, until the restaurants begin to open at ten; the first steak is what primes your system to digest large quantities of animal protein, and it's the first steak that buffers the sudden sugar rush of your afternoon ice cream cone. The midnight second steak might be more the glamorous one, standing as it does a good three inches off the plate, but all it has to do is get you up and out of the restaurant and into bed (for the love of God, don't forget to drink water).

Showtime had their preview weekend a week ago.

Is it just me, or does their ShowtimeN channel seem to cater to black people...

Intentional?

I just saw a poster for a gym with the line "I'd pay to see you sweat."

Darwin's meditations on marriage

Darwin's meditations on marriage
Originally uploaded by satmandu.

When deciding upon whether to marry, Darwin made two competing lists, pro-wife, and pro-bachelor.

On the Pro-Wife side of the page it is written, "Better than a dog anyhow".
