Catch
by Josh Spear
Catch--a seafood restaurant on Market--and I was extremely pleased. Fun and casual atmosphere, a tasty menu, and a wonderful staff. Eating there was an absolute treat--great fish, oysters, and more. If you're there on a nice day, try to grab a table outside on the street--I had a lot of fun people watching, and it was a good afternoon sunny lunch spot.
Adidas_1: Pounding the Processor
by Josh Rubin
This morning I got to go running in a pair of new Adidas_1s with Mark Oleson, one of the sneaker's inventors. It was a beautiful day for a run in Central Park and a fantastic opportunity to learn a little more about the world's most intelligent running shoe.
Freebord S2 Bindings
by Josh Spear
Freebord (covered witness both the old school and the new school--one guy riding a larger board in flip flops and another riding a smaller board with bindings. It was wild, to say they were "bombing the hills" would be an understatement.
Automata Design
by Josh Spear
Automata Design with the basic mission to design a range of high impact contemporary light shades that are accessible and affordable. This model is called the "Novalite" and is one of the more complex pieces. It's constructed of 72 interlocking pieces. It's inspired by snowflakes, sea urchins, and complex forest seeds--it shines a kaleidoscope type pattern. The lights are all shipped flat and you assemble them when you get them.
Delonghi Magnifica EAM3500
by Evan Orensten
I know, I know, you'd like to make your own cappucino in the morning, but it gets a bit complicated and messy, and we all like to support the non-chain coffee shop in the hood anyway. But what if you could put some fresh coffee beans into your coffee machine. And a little water and milk. And press a button. And not only do you get a ground-on-demand espresso with the exact strength you prefer, but you can also get a perfect cappucino or latté. That's pretty impressive. The Magnifica is the first machine to do it all. While it's not as sexy or colorful as some machines, it's an impressive bit of hardware that you'll be proud to have on display in your kitchen. While the $899.95 price tag seems a bit steep, your once a day $4 a pop habit will pay for itself in less than a year's time.
UPDATE:
We hadn't had our coffee yet when this post originally went up. The full model name is the Magnifica EAM3500, it's really $1499, and the correct photo is now in place.
