food: brunch at eventide
If I had the time and could find a coffeehouse that offered this, I’d be happy to delay my start time at the office for a little sit down and a nice cup of coffee. Being french press, this did...

moving: bait & switch?
It’s not another craigslist spam story, that’s something right? It is, however, a story of a legitimate ad that was still useless! After returning from errands, I fired up the ol’ browser. For some reason I still have faith that...
moving: Spam, Spam, Baked Beans…
I really thought I was done with the series of moving-related spam posts this week* but clearly not. But it’s Friday, so let’s lighten the mood first off: Salsus told me that I’d mentioned spam far too often not to...

You won’t get this kind of service and presentation at Starbucks, that’s for damn sure. Of course you won’t really get it in many coffee houses, but it was nice to see at the new Chinatown Coffee. It’s the latest...
iPhone: did you mean…?
I dunno what’s up with this one. I’ve had some interesting on-the-fly spelling corrections from my iPhone recently, but in the midst of typing the word having, it offers to correct it to Jacobs… Ok, then! I realize it was...
