Design Police

My friend Dennis @ Wired sent me this great link design-police.org Check it out and download the kit and do some justice to bad design.

Locking up your shovel

There is not much to say about this, except OKAY…

Frank Chu

No matter where I go I always run into Frank Chu. He kind of has a cult following in San Francisco. Well he was at the Macworld 2008 standing right outside Moscone Center West. If you are interested in reading more about him here is a link to his Wikipedia page about him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chu

Griffin Earbuds

I got hooked up with the new Griffin tunebuds today for the iphone. I was expecting more companies to have headphones w/mic for the iphone since there is only a few out there. So i was happy to see that Griffin has one coming out soon. I tried them out on my bus ride home and it is hard for me to compare these to other rubber tipped earbuds since I have never tried any of them. They do cancel out 80% of the sound and I am not sure if I like that. I like to know whats going on most of the time. The sound was a little bit tinny and did not have a good scale in sound. I am used to the Apple ear buds and feel the Apple buds are more comfortable, but I think it is my opinion. For the price that they will be sold for ($39.99) I do think they are worth tryiing them out. They also come with a great case and 3 sizes of rubber tips. If anyone trys them out let me know what you think.

Macworld 2008

Went to Macworld today and for the most part it was a let down. Yes the Macbook Air is great but the vendors for the most part are not selling anything different from what the next vendor is selling. I did not find any really good deals either. I did get hooked up with Griffin earbuds which are not even out yet which was cool. So big shout out to griffin. I will give my feelings about them after this post. So enjoy the few photos I took at Macworld.

Fontana – Famous Pizza & Gyro

I know I keep saying everything is the best, but this is… The Gyro was so good and the chicken kabobs are great too. This place is packed all the time. I get my Gyro without the Tzatziki Sauce, but with all the rest (pita, onions, tomato, and seasoning).

NYC Pretzel

How could I resist, the smell of the toasting pretzel calling my name. Living in California i miss these things. So I had to grab one. I shared it with my daughter and she loved it.

Crunch Bar

I really have no comments on this…except

9.25 pound bar / Length: 17.8″  / Width: 10″  / Thickness: 2″ / Only 20,580 calories per bar!

NY Pizza

I gotta say I just love NY pizza and living in San Francisco I miss it. Not only does most pizza in S.F. suck, but charging $22 for a Medium (which they call a large) really sucks. Also you need toppings to make it taste better so that adds up at $2.00 a topping.
