Sweet Potato Cheesecake
I am not a fan of pumpkin. There, I said it. I like pumpkins for decoration, like seeing them growing in patches, maybe painting one for Halloween, but in terms of pumpkin bread, pumpkin pies, pumpkin spice lattes? Not my...
video: Shatner Fryers Club
Sad as it makes this Southern boy, I have always maintained a “no frying” rule in my apartments for many reasons, the resulting weight gain and lingering smell chief amongst them. Still, on Thanksgiving Eve, I can’t help but long...
photos: Cold-War Chic?
I feel like I should give this photo an appropriately vintage’d sepia filter and edit a TARDIS into the background. We headed down to the Spy Museum on a surprisingly brisk–almost chilly–morning to see the finest in German Cold-War Era...
video: Ghosts Around You…
Happy Halloween everyone! Recovering from the weekend ok? Checked out the White House Trick-or-Treaters photos? Checked in on Foursquare to get your Halloween 2011 badge? Excellent, everything appears to be in order, then. Not that any of it matters, since...
video: …in your own home.

Seen at Colossal: If you picked up a toy in the 1980s, be it a car, Transformers, LEGO, or a Nintendo game, chance is, it might be in this video. I was an avid Transformers collector, so saw a lot...
metro: platform or runway?
*taps mic* Is this thing on? Anyone still out there? Yeah, it’s been a while, but between indulging in birthday shenanigans, and sorta realizing that I’m not as able to recover from birthday shenanigans as I once was, I needed...
How to Quickly Peel a Head of Garlic
SAVEUR Executive Food Editor Todd Coleman has a great technique for peeling an entire head of garlic in less than 10 seconds, no knife required. I’ve seen tricks for quickly peeling a clove at a time, but never for peeling...
me: I’m not sick, but I’m not well
The year was 1997, a bootleg copy of Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone? was in my CD player and I was a little too into this track… “I’m not sick but I’m not well, and it’s a sin to live so well.”
ads: Kia’s losing its Soul
It all started out so innocently. A unique vehicle with an innovative ad strategy. Kia Soul, the urban crossover vehicle.1 The hamsters are cute, the music is good with both a pop and retro feel, and the iPod brings instant...

…and speaking of using Google to find out about a mate. From Comediva comes G-Male, the perfect boyfriend. Or is he?
video: future of bookstores?
Keeping with today’s theme is this recent The Daily Show segment with Jon Stewart and John Hodgman reporting on Borders’ recent closure, the state of bookstores and what they can do to improve. I do love his summation of the...
