The Washington Post put up a nice piece about the various styles of architecture in Buffalo as well as some of the prominent buildings. This follows a slowly trickling national recognition of Buffalo and Western New York as something other than depressing. I know that the word ‘potential’ flys around here way too often, that ‘potential’ [...]

Interesting NY Times Article On Cheese
October 5th, 2011 · No Comments · Food, Local
Read this interesting article today on a small controversy revolving around the aging of cheese. Reminds me that I want to start making it again at home. Living in Buffalo, it’s actually really hard (so far impossible!) to find locally made fresh mozzarella (in water). Over in Boston, we were able to pick up any [...]

Renters Insurance and why it’s so important!
February 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Local, money, stuff
If you live in the Boston area, there is a good chance that you are a renter. If your building burns down, or if you are robbed (our place was many years ago before I moved in), your landlord’s homeowner’s insurance does not cover the cost of your belongings (or anything else for you, most [...]

Weekly Round Up
January 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Bloggish, Computery, Crosspost, Food, Local, Photography, stuff
Getting into the habit of reviewing the interesting Internetty / bloggy / foody / &tc.-y stuff from the week is something I would like to establish. It gives me a chance to reflect and review all the garbage I saw all week, determine what was actually interesting and not heat-of-the-moment cool, and hopefully I can [...]

I found this pristine candy box on the ground on a side street in Cambridge, surrounded by trash. It was sad and I had to take a picture with my Lumix point-and-shoot.

I really need to get my old Flickr photostream figured out again – as this stuff doesn’t really belong here. Anyway, I grabbed this pic the other day outside of my office.

Cambridge construction – the old B-Side / Windsor Cafe
October 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Local
There has been a rumored beer bar (fancy, not Port-y) going in the location of the B-Side at Hampshire and Windsor Streets in E. Cambridge for a while. I drive by the construction every day on my way home from work, which has been going on for months. Today, as I drove by, they were [...]

(Adult) Saturday Morning Cartoons
October 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Bloggish, Local
The title of this post suggests something a bit more scintillating than it is. I’m referring to my years old Saturday morning obsession with my two NPR shows on WBUR (one of Boston’s public radio stations). The 11am Car Talk and noon Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me are equivalent to the Smurfs and the Get [...]
Major issue with new Bank Of America ATMs
January 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Local, money
