You'd think there'd be more important things to post about aside from this. Look at this combination. Who thought of this? Imagine the creative department at Popsicle sat around and probably got lit at lunch and came back and said, "We got it. Banana, Root Beer, and Lime!" Imagine the furor. "What the fuck?!" Jobs may have been lost, people mad, but it's interesting to know that, this combo has...
You’d think there’d be more important things to post about aside from this. Look at this combination. Who thought of this? Imagine the creative department at Popsicle sat around and probably got lit at lunch and came back and said, “We got it. Banana, Root Beer, and Lime!” Imagine the furor. “What the fuck?!” Jobs may have been lost, people mad, but it’s interesting to know that, this combo has been around for a while, and it’s the only one I buy!

The weird thing is that tonight, I pull out the lime and immediately, I notice that it looks darker. I turned on some more lights, and it still didn’t look right.

I wonder what went wrong with this one, and I look at the front of the box. “Natural Colors and Flavors!” The rootbeer was spot on, it’s still brown, the lime was off, but I’ll bet it’s because that’s the easiest flavor to be “natural”. The banana was about the same. Maybe a little more yellow and a bit more rich. Popsicle should hire me to taste and judge their colors.

David Choe's in Denver. We were supposed to be there too, but work prevails, even with great events going on. Manifest Hope might be one of those. It's not part of the DNC, but there's an assemblage of artists who are together painting images of Obama to get the word out a little more. We'll see how it goes. We were supposed to play a larger role in this, however, getting David Choe out there is a...

It’s not part of the DNC, but there’s an assemblage of artists who are together painting images of Obama to get the word out a little more. We’ll see how it goes. We were supposed to play a larger role in this, however, getting David Choe out there is a great thing. You can still pick up the print if you want to get one. They’re not inexpensive, but at the same time, it’s going to a cause, right? Check out Manifest Hope

Food in China from Beijing and Shanghai. The photos here are of xiaolongbao, the notorious soup dumpling. So good, so easy to eat. I could down tons of these. Each one tastes great, and the place in Shanghai is packed. If you pay more you get seats higher and higher up. Pay more, don't wait the two hours for the cheap seat. How much more is it? +$10 for your meal? It's something like that. I don't...
