Thursday, October 23rd, 2003

Depending on who you are, you may or may not know about Creative Commons. If you aren’t familiar, they are a fantastic group who is trying to promote “Fair Use” by providing a copywriting system that is somewhere between “All Rights Reserved” and a free for all.

Speakeasies For Food

Tuesday, October 21st, 2003

I am very intrigued by an article that was recently posted in the New York Times about “Underground Restaurants”. The premise is that people (real chefs, wanna-be chefs, etc) are running “Underground Restaurants” that are not licensed.

People are running these restaurants in their houses, apartments, etc. Guests are invite-only (having to be introduced [...]

Watching Cribs

Monday, October 20th, 2003

So I have just watched a full Cribs episode on MTV and have not recognized any single person that was on it. I always think to myself that I know what’s going on with music, but definitely not the case today…

That “infamous” Cubs Fan

Wednesday, October 15th, 2003

What I cannot believe is that several newspapers, sports channels and everyone else under the sun have “outed” him* with his name, place [...]

The Food Section

Tuesday, October 14th, 2003

I just discovered thefoodsection.com today. It’s a very nice weblog related to Food, Cooking, Chefs, etc. There’s some really cool info on there and lots of interesting information…

One of the cool things I found was a link to a discussion over at eGullet.com where Anthony Bourdain has some pretty funny comments about Rick [...]
