May 15, 2005. House Project - Day 53 - Sheathing. One week later, and the addition is almost fully framed and sheathed. The window plan. Is now fully evident from the exterior, at least for the new-built portion of the remodel. And there is now a more fully-developed sense of space on the interior. One of the critical areas that we've been wanting to take a look at has been the area in the kitchen-to-family transition space around the peninsula. It's still a bit misleading at this point since the ceiling...

February 19, 2006. Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Fairfield. The best pizza in the world is coming to within a mile of my house! Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana is widely regarded as the best pizza in the world. And after 80-some-odd years of operating establishments on Wooster Street in New Haven, CT, they are opening a new location mere minutes away from my house in Fairfield. Now, it was never any great hassle to travel 30 minutes up to New Haven for great pizza. But this new Fairfield location.

August 08, 2007. Lileks continues to hit the funny bone. Most attempts to turn your baby into a SuperGenius via instructional tapes or early exposure to Schoenberg (teaches them how to count to 12, at least). Or in-utero projections of high renaissance art are folly, and reflect the insecurities of narcissitic [sic] parents who think that showing a kid Van Gogh when they’re six months old will help them get into Harvard. And it all makes sense. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

blien: Iron Chef Fairfield
http://blien.blogspot.com/2007/12/took-miranda-to-breakfast-with-santa.html
December 12, 2007. Took Miranda to a Breakfast with Santa event put on by the Parks and Rec Dept. last weekend. The middle school choir was singing carols, and I took Miranda up front to watch them sing. As we got up to go back to our table, I turned around and who did I see? Iron Chef Bobby Flay. I was pretty sure he didn't live in town, so I guess he was visiting a friend and they both came to the event to see the friend's daughter sing in the choir. Fri Apr 11, 04:05:00 PM EDT.

blien: Back to the Future, today
http://blien.blogspot.com/2007/06/back-to-future-today.html
June 21, 2007. Back to the Future, today. Another tidbit from James Lileks. Maybe it was something I realized last weekend, when posting that Back to the Future YouTube link - the movie, which I still think is a perfect little thing, was made in 1985. Marty was sent back to 1955. If they made the movie today, he’d go back to 1977. View my complete profile. Back to the Future, today. Blien Media Bias Watch.

February 20, 2008. Population density, Thai style. February 06, 2008. There's been a lot to admire in the field of automotive design the past few years. (Exhibits: Ferrari 599. There's also been a lot of controversy. (Bangle, anyone? For all the controversial designs, you couldn't really point to too many outright design misses. But two cars were recently introduced at the Chicago Auto Show that really miss the mark, in my mind. 1 2009 Acura RL. Where is the presence? Even worse are the front end styling...

April 26, 2007. New Specialized Servers from IBM and Sun. But IBM and Sun are both offering something much different. Something that I think could be signaling a shift in high-end server design. More interesting, I think, is IBM's new server. IBM has integrated their mainframe technology with their Cell processor, to create something called a "gameframe." The design is optimized to be able to support hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users in an online virtual world, such as Second Life or Wo...This ...
