I have a dream about a friend in a weird setting – Cooking class! I never saw my friend cook anything, and he goes out to eat all the time. So seeing (I mean dreaming) of him in apron is really hilarious to me – even if he actually looks really cute in it. Anyway, he’s teaching a class about how to make some seafood and he’s walking around the tables checking on the students. I was in the classroom next to his teaching as well – …

Today some of the buildings that I am familiar with were official declared as landmarks. Hopefully with a landmark status, these buildings can escape the current trend of “destroying history and build a condo on top of it!”
First up is the one that I stare at every day, the one that is a block away from my window – Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory in Greenpoint. I just love the giant pencils at the exterior of the building. With the destruction of many historical factory buildings in Williamsburg …

Everyone knows that I want a Pleo! I have been talking about it for months if not a year or two. But they keep on delaying it. Anyway, here’re more videos. They just make you said aww the whole time. The end of the second video is particularly fun because it’s a race between AIBO and Pleo and see who run to the finish line first~ totally adorable!

Wow, looks like not only Redmond has a copier but Tokyo also has one too! This one is way obvious! Or maybe Sony is using a lazy marketing company for their ads? In any case, it just give Apple more laugh at its competitors!
Although Sony’s new T2 camera looks quite nice and is something that I might consider.

The lack of updates lately means only one thing – work is killing me. It has been so busy this quarter that the only thing I want to do when I get home everyday is to sleep. I can barely keep up with the TV shows that’s gathering on my HD, in fact it seems the only time I watch the shows are during my commute and my lunch time! The number of unread posts on my Google Reader is also hitting record high. That’s why I keep quiet even …

As if Abercrombie & Fitch is not gay enough….. The always outrageously funny Improv Everywhere prank just intentionally gay it up! A&F always have that shirtless male model standing in the store to greet customerss, while he got competition! Improv Everyhere has over 100 shirtless men of various sizes gather in the Fifth Avenue flagship store of A&F!! It was hilarious to see the fat guy standing next to the male model posing as well! I was surprise that they last 15 minutes in the store until security …

Given the relative comfort and ease of my last concert (KT Tunstall), I would have thought the concert of Regina Spektor is even easier since I thought KT is a bigger name than Regina given that KT is all over iTunes and Starbucks, and her songs are on from Devil Wears Prada to Ugly Betty. But I was wrong, the crowd is much larger for Regina’s concert last night. The line was wrapped around the whole block. The concert was packed! Luckily our tickets were for …

I have my first nightmare about iPhone last night! In the dream my iPhone is like my full resolution desktop – imagine everything that is displayed on your computer screen got shrink into an 3 inches iPhone screen! Everything is so tiny, and the worst thing is that I can’t zoom in at all, it won’t respond to my finger gestures! On the other hand, my giant computer screen – a 10 feet tall wall projection – become like iPhone – which mean it won’t respond to the …

More news about Apple coming to Williamsburg: Post now saying it will land on the retail area of the future Edge condo, currently building right next to the almost finished Northside Piers condo. That large group of big developments by the awesome waterfront area. It is reported that Apple is looking at a 3,000-5,000 foot corner space while Barneys will be its neighbor. I know these big buildings will change the neighborhood completely, the things I like about the neighborhood from the artsy scene, galleries, funky restaurants …

I have always wonder when will MTA expand their contact-less smart-card payment trial to the rest of the system everyday when I passed by those special turnstiles. Maybe some of you might not notice them, but trial happens to be at some of my most frequent stations – Grand Central, Union Sq, Court Sq and 23rd Ely Ave, and the rest of the 4/5/6 line. Now the news is that they will extend the trial period indefinitely and expand it to certain bus lines as well. …
