Do do, do do do, do do, do do, do do, do do, do do do. Do do, do do do, do do, do do, do do, do do, do do do. Yep, that’s the Mister Softee jingle. And I’m humming it with a huge smile on my face. I treated myself to a cone [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: The unfoggable mirror
Orian and I stayed at the Seaport Hotel in Boston a few weekends ago. After getting out of the shower I noticed that a portion of the mirror was somehow not fogged up! At first I thought it was a happy accident, but then I realized that couldn’t be and gasped at the genius of [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Time To Buy Cut-Rite
I was baking at my parents’ apartment recently and pulled out their wax paper to line a cookie sheet. When I tore some off, I noticed a message pierced into the paper that read “TIME TO BUY CUT-RITE.” They use a different brand than I do so I had never seen this before. The paper [Keep Reading…]
Awesome Email of the Day: Evangelizing Myself
Being able to help people change their lives for the better is worth more than any client check. I’m very fortunate to get amazingly kind emails from strangers around the world. I promptly add them to my Happy File to look back on when I’m feeling down and doubting myself. Here is a recent email [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: How to make the perfect egg cream
This photo was taken at the famous Junior’s Restaurant in Brooklyn on my first date with Orian. God what he must have thought when I eagerly pulled out my camera to snap this pic. I’m on a date with a chick who takes photos of her food? If it weren’t for that milkshake I might [Keep Reading…]

While at the IA Summit in Memphis in March, a large group of us went out to dinner at The Majestic Grille. When I say a large group, I mean 60 people. We were split up at a bunch of tables, and I ended up at a table of ten. We all ordered drinks and [Keep Reading…]
This email is bloggable
Last month I got an email from Jonathan Berger, whom I had met briefly at NY Tech Meetup several months back. He just launched an online vintage marketplace called Market Publique and wanted to spread the news (I’ve already bought two items from it and it’s actually pretty rad). I get a lot of emails [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Whirlpool dishwasher utensil tray
A few years ago I went out with a guy who made me dinner in his apartment. I’m going to refrain from saying what I thought of the food. But at the end of the meal as we brought the dishes into the kitchen, I noticed that his dishwasher had a unique design that I’d [Keep Reading…]
Old news: UX in the mainstream
Last summer when I was watching American Idol or some such thing, I walked into the kitchen during a commercial break but was quickly drawn back when this caught my ear: “The fun part is taking complex technology and making it easy to use for customers.” — Jason Johnson, UI designer for the Ford Focus [Keep Reading…]
Skitch beta 8 now available
If you follow me on Twitter or read this blog enough, you probably already know that I’m completely in love with Skitch. It’s by far the most common tool that I use for my everyday work — taking screenshots, making annotations, resizing images, etc. Skitch beta 8 was just released a couple days ago with [Keep Reading…]
