WatchWill Smith shows off the Aeropress.
I have pour over, vac pot, french press, espresso machine, gold filter, and ca phe sua nong systems. And I’m *crazy* about my Aeropress.

I really dig Spot.Us. This is the third pitch I’ve backed, and the first one that’s not a San Francisco-specific story.

Sixteen Candles
I haven’t seen this movie, end-to-end, in more than 20 years.
Chicago! Every John Hughes movie is like a love letter to the wealthy suburbs of Chicago.
Samantha’s notebook has The Rave-Ups written in enormous letters on it. They do not appear in the soundtrack. [CREDITS: Or the film.]

Wow, that must have been one hell of a wreck, because I’ll be damned if I remember it happening. On the upside, I do appear to have recovered quite nicely.

My bet’s with Foursquare to win out within two years, but I really have no good reason but brand loyalty and five minutes of testing Gowalla to back my opinion.
Loopt is already in the hookup ghetto, and I don’t know a thing about the other seven or eight current “check in here” apps.
Of course it’d be ideal if these apps all became so open you could use any and output to your...

I swam 1200m in 30 minutes and I did not die.
lindstifa:
I am mediocre at best.
I feel I should point out that I’ve been competing in triathlons for four years now. I’ve swum from Alcatraz three times (and have a fourth crossing on the way in May), Treasure Island once, and umpteen times in various lakes rivers and other weird bodies of water. I typically hit the pool at least two or three times a week, have paid for...

– Branded chains and the flat white
This applies to so much more than just coffee. It’s especially true of the technology industry, where larger companies tend to (often unsuccessfully) ape innovations without really getting at why those innovations were successful to begin with.
