Food, and where to get it
So the last time we talked I had a post about food and what to eat. But after all that good reading leaves the question, so what do I eat again? I will attempt to answer that question.
I do love food and I do love tech and thus comes my most recent device - restaurants google map.
It is open so anyone can edit the notes on any place, add restaurants and even add horrible restaurants.
I realize there are many restaurant guides and Zagat ratings but I felt a peer review, open to all style would be better.
Feel free to leave comments, questions, and add restaurants.
happy eating ( try delinews, its my favorite! )
UPDATE: Thanks for people who put places on the map! and for all of those who don't know already, Yelp is a really good service.

Web 2.0 + old skool
Old skool rules.
The smell and feel of vintage products, ads, toys just bring me back. Thats why I own original posterboards of Ameila Earhart and Pablo Picasso from the "Think different" Apple ad campaign. Also I keep my sega genesis with street fighter 2.
When web 2.0 and old skool play together, the results are genious, and thats why I'm happy about my muxtape.
muxtape.com provides a clean, simple, interface (web 2.0 out the wazoo) while kickin' it old skool with mixtapes, which are very personal and come from the heart.
Muxtapes are in. Here's mine.

Yes I read
This is the cover of, In Defense of food. The book contains a myriad of details and provided good info so I'll share them. (five in no paticular order.)
1. Don't eat alone. Many of us eat food just to survive. Food is time to slow down, catch up with friends, relax us and is meant to be enjoyed.
2. Don't eat things old people would not recognize.
3. Be wary of foods that make health claims. I sadly can not eat Milton's Bread anymore.
4. Lots of food are not actually food but " food like substances."
5. Go to a farmers market. Some farmers markets or Community Supported Agriculture can deliver food to your home.
This seems like info that everyone is familiar with, but following those rules is quite difficult, if not impossible. I tried following them today when I went to Trader Joe's and all I got was some Very wholesome bread and apple sauce.
The book is on the New York Best-Seller list and is definitely worth a read.

i left my heart...
San Francisco was amazing. The only reason I was able to leave and enjoy myself for a tad was due to spring break. The atmosphere and life it was amazing. It was this trip that made me realize I was never a photographer and have no aspirations to be one - images burned in my memory were so breath taking, yet I could not converse them in to 0's and 1's with my canon powershot. Nonetheless, I did snap a few things here and there and whats of it is here. tinyurl.com/5jmxf3
