Doughnut Plant Chelsea Review: Eating lots of donuts is good

Sometimes I wish for a better balance between anecdotes and data. For a while in October, my phone was dying a slow death after three years of Windows Mobile, and I didn't listen to Radio Lab for a while. This week I caught up on it and was amazed by their storytelling abilities. There was one episode on Inheritance and in that episode was a segment about a meth addict woman who had at least eight children, and she abandoned each one at the hospital after birth. The story was about whether or not the kids inherited any bad effects by starting out with such unfortunate circumstances. The story was very compelling, but I can't help but wonder how it really would shape a listeners views about a particular issue by going with a sample size of eight. But since the radio prose strummed such...

Why I am voting for Obama

The second presidential debate is tonight and I just want to reiterate that it's a better idea to vote for Obama. I'm voting for Obama. Let me tell you why (and if you don't care, just leave. See if I care). I've already said that I'm about the Most average worker you can find in the web development industry. Proud of it, motherfuckers. I don't care. But I think there's still confusion on the part of the American public, especially in the 'battleground states' where votes think one candidate may be better than another candidate in terms of producing jobs. Have a look at this video on Huff Po by Stephen Dubner of Freakonomics on how much presidents matter. If people think that one president vs another would create manufacturing jobs or oil jobs...

Junk food from Japan is the new sex

This week my sister had some extra candy she got from a friend who's visiting from Japan. And that's how I became acquainted with peach flavored Kit Kat bars and giant Pocky. You're probably thinking that peach flavored Kit Kat bars sound really weird and you would be right. I'll get into more details about that later. Do any of you know where to even find something like this in New York? Because even though it was kind of weird, I want to have more of this stuff. The giant Pocky is pretty much what you think it is. Pocky with giant disease. It's quite a bit taller and wider than a regular stick of Pocky. It still is a cookie in a stick form, covered with some chocolate for 3/4 of the cookie. I don't think one could eat a whole box of giant Pocky's...

One Dim Sum in Hong Kong

When I think about how much effort I've put forth in life, the period that contained the most effort was high school because it seemed like college was supposed to be this magical thing. Higher education was supposed to be better than baby unicorns. To some degree, I bet restaurants get that sense that when they're just starting out, it's important to hit the high notes. You gotta hand it to those restaurants who keep a high level year after year. In 2012, One Dim Sum in Hong Kong got a Michelin star, which meant that in 2012, there were TWO one star dim sum restaurants. Sadly that star got reduced and in 2013 they are merely Bib Gourmand. But it's still worth checking out because it's another dim sum restaurant that serves up exceptional food at really excellent price points. Basically when food is...
