Ain’t That Some Shit & Etc.

August 29th, 2010

On a lighter note, I was recently introduced to Fuck You! by Cee-Lo Green which I cannot stop listening to.

Other stuff I have recently come across and liked:

Crepes du Nord This place is the best lunch place ever if you work in the financial district. Shockingly, they serve crepes.

Del Posto Don took us here to celebrate a deal closing and it was amazing. It’s Mario Batali (he does great pasta), we had a five-course meal plus a lot of wine and cocktails. I went with my sister to Babo a while back, which is also Batali, but I thought this place was better. They had this cucumber-flavored gin drink slash concoction that I cannot even describe, but I miss it dearly. You know it’s a nice place when they give you complementary boxes of truffles when you leave. Well, that and the 4-figure bill. Anyway, I was impressed.

Dropbox I’ve been using this for a while now, but I finally upgraded to the paid version because it’s so useful. Simply stated, it’s cloud computing, which basically means that your files are saved on a server somewhere, so it’s accessible anywhere. I tried a number of these types of solutions, but Dropbox was by far the best. It basically syncs all the documents in one folder on each of the computers you link to your account, and it stores the files online in their server as well, so all your stuff is accessible through any web browser as well. It’s great because it’s simple, and it does performs a few functions incredibly seamlessly and correctly. If you have multiple computers you work from, or you just like having access to the contents of your hard drive from anywhere (they have an Android app, so I can get to basically all of my files using my cell phone, too), it’s an incredibly useful application.

Crazy Heart I didn’t think I would like this movie, but I did. It’s nothing fancy, but I liked it.

Justin Bieber I love him. Nah, I’m just kidding, he sucks. Sorry to those with Bieber Fever.

Miscellany

May 1st, 2007

The last post was depressing, so in order to prevent ending on that note, here’s a shoutout to Davemo, who has started his blog. North American Scum. Yay, go Dave.

Also, I installed a new plug-in so I can have a cool audio player for when I want to post mp3s. Here are two examples.

Stay – You and I are Fools
This first song I’ve been listening to over and over to try to translate it and practice my Korean-learning abilities. It’s from the Korean drama Goong.

Jang Pil Soon – 10 Month
This movie was depressing as all hell, but I rather liked the soundtrack. It reminded me of what the music would be for one of those indie films if it were in English, haha.
