Shoot. You guys saw this, right? Retraction from This American Life because Daisey fabricated part of the story. www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/460/retra...

You live in NYC, you always talk about going to indie theater, but let's face it, indie theater can be iffy. Once in a while there's a gem and you can saw you saw it first. Here you go.

This place is like going to a Japanese museum where you get to eat some of the art. You also sit on art and your food is served atop art. I will be returning.

Another terrific big-budget hollywood musical that took home an Oscar for best picture. They made a real plot out of the fuzzy story in the Kander and Ebb musical and Catherine Zeta Jones performs her heart out. Richard Gere is also super slick. Such a great movie.

This is one of these situations where the cover is better than the original. I know that sounds sacrilegious and I adore Prince. But this woman is such a good performer.

I love big budget hollywood musicals. This has Baz Luhrmann's crazy style too! Nevermind that the plotline is a bit hackneyed--haven't you heard that all movies are exactly the same?

Tired of using the same old boring Lorem Ipsum as your text placeholder. Try gangsta Lorem Ipsum to add a little more cred to your site. Also, fun is bacon ipsum (baconipsum.com/)

Loving the emergence of "PBR&B" (indie hip hop: PBR + R&B, get it?)

This is a great track--a dreamy, jazzy cover of the Monica classic.

Dictation software if you don't want to tap out a lengthy email on your ipad or iphone. Pretty cool.

Ohh, this book is sooooo good. I have read a lot of interesting non-fiction research-type books, but I think this is the first time I could describe one as "gripping." McDougall weaves a suspenseful adventure tale through fascinating research explaining why we all can and should run, and why the popularity of "no pain no gain" exercise attitudes have perverted our evolutionary destiny.

Don't miss this if you have a chance. It's like theater for the html era: there is action happening in multiple rooms and you can pick and chose what character to follow as the characters all interact, break off, go to other parts of the "hotel" and interact with other characters. I want to go again.
