embarrassing admission
I really don’t know anything about the Beatles.
After playing Beatles Rock Band the past two weekends and being ridiculed the weekend before for not being able to tell the band members apart, I have decided to change that.

Big Tech News: Microsoft Courier →
Gizmodo had a super exclusive tonight with details of the new tablet from Microsoft, codename Courier. The video looks pretty awesome, but I just have the feeling this will end up being like Microsoft surface, an awesome looking piece of technology that I never actually end up seeing/interacting with.

I will be visiting New York from Oct. 22-25. Please email me if you live there, or will also be in town at that time.

This past July I went in to Abattoir, and I had my mind blown. Seriously, make a reservation here ASAP. One of the best new restaurants in Atlanta, for sure.
The restaurant is owned by the same people who own Bacchanalia/Star Provisions. Their concept here is at the same time more and less accessible to the general...
snow leopard
After hearing mostly good things about Snow Leopard, Apple’s new operating system, I decided to upgrade. The OS was cheap- just $30, and promised to make my computer harder, better, faster, stronger, etc. So far, it’s just been a headache, but I’m on the phone with Apple, and they’re being super about helping me.
So, when I tried to install, the program basically told me...
