Not sure how I missed this news story a few weeks back, but check out the MIP students who launched a camera into space for under $150.
Talk about your recessionistas!
as we get fatter...
Is it me, or does this new Honda personal mobility device (the U3-X) remind you of the lazy-future depicted by Wall-E?
And more on this thing here.
desperate single guys...
I love following random celebs on Twitter because every once in a while they have important or cool things to share with the world. Take this awesome 80s video shared by Jamie Kennedy...
Patrick Swayze
8/18/09 - 9/14/09
I had the pleasure of working on a couple projects with the man I liked to call "Crazy Swayze," or as he liked to be called, "The Swayze" (rhyming with 'Daze').The man was bold, but in a daring way (not as ego-driven as a lot of stars are). He would ramble on about his vision for even the tiniest of details, which is probably what got him so far in the industry. A risk taker at best and a ham at worst.
He'll be missed as a great talent, but also as a true fighter of Pancreatic Cancer, which he stood up to with all the courage and confidence one could only expect from the one and only Patrick Swayze.
Please take some time out of your day to help stop the disease. You can further Patrick's cause by raising awareness with Congress by clicking here.
they're gonna rule the school...
There's a new type of apple hitting America this year called the PINK LADY, and I just wanted to say ME LIKEY!!
Their flavor is both tangy & sweet, have a long storage life when properly refrigerated and best of all they are low in calories and fat free!
Originating in Australia in the 1970s, they're FINALLY being grown now (and organically) in the US, so ask your local farmers and grocers about them!
I haven't been this excited since the DVD release of Grease 2!

everything old is new again...
After a great podcast recording (watch for the post later tonight), Rachel and I had drinks and dinner at the revamped Minetta Tavern.Now, we've been to the original Minetta Tavern many times and we thought it was a travesty when the doors closed a few years back. But now, from the owners of Pastis and Balthazar, the restaurant is back with a vengeance. You have to be a who's-who to get into the joint, unless you have reservations months in advance. Luckily Rachel and I are one big who, and we got in to feast at the bar.
The food is downright amazing, and the rumors of the tasty hamburger are for real. It's a burger for the ages.
Yet, it's the intricate cocktail menu that you should rush over there for. Rachel got the exclusively Minetta "Rhubard Sophie," which is made with Below 42 vodka, rhubarb bitters, lime, agave nectar and cucumber. It is light and kind of tastes like a tart-n-tiny candy. I ordered the Maple Leaf Sazerac, which is a deadly mix of Rittenhouse Rye, Sortilège Maple Cordial, Pernod Absinthe and a Lemon Zest rim. It's so damn smooth you'll want to lick the glass to the last drop.
All-in-all Minetta Tavern's face-lift is a true comeback. It's like reconnecting with an old high school friend at the reunion, only to find out they're kind of a celebrity now. Now if only they can get Chumley's back up and running!
my B.F.F.
As many of you know, it's my lifelong obsession to friend celebrities on Facebook, but only ones I've actually met, worked with or found fascinating in a D-list celebrity way.
As a few of you know, my earliest brush with Hollywood involved briefly working for Harvey Weinstein at Miramax. This was pre-Disney, when Harvey was bigger and meaner, and the turnover rate for assistants/interns matched our Nation's debt rate.
Imagine my surprise today that Harv's finally come to me to make amends on Facebook...
I do plan on getting this made into a T-Shirt, by the way.
