Thanks to LKB’s comment on yesterday’s post, where I wrote about “chimerical chemical randomness,” I realized that I haven’t had a word of the day in many moons. So here it is. I’ll go with definitions 2 and 3. Chimera: a thing...

Looking for something to do after work Friday, I perused the listings at Boston Photography Focus, a local photo scene blog produced by the fine folks at the Photographic Resource Center. I decided to visit Gallery NAGA which was open late due to the general First...

I learned a couple of weeks ago that Magnolia’s Southern Cuisine, one of my favorite Cambridge restaurants, is closing on June 14. So I invited a bunch of friends for one last visit. It was a great mix of old friends and new, classmates and colleagues. I think...

Lots of half-finished business (but hardly any half-finished food) here in the secret LimeCave. After last week’s cheesy post on local eating, I learned a couple of important things: It’s locavore (219,000 google results), not locovore (4,000 results) Via...

If you’ve been following me on twitter (or in person for that matter, but that would be even weirder) you know that I’ve been craving a good savory scone. Heck, I would have settled for a bad one. I stuck out at several local outlets, but my craving was...

Well, that’s only part of a long techno-story developing on my desk. But it’s true. I raved about the Time Capsule in one of my last Ipswitch blog posts, and now I actually own one. It delivers on all its cool features, at least the ones I’ve tried...

Ever since I topped off the scrabble set at Bloc 11 Cafe in Union square, I’ve been on the lookout for other public scrabble sets in need of repair. After all, what am I going to do with 96 extra letters? Earlier this week, I checked 1369 coffeehouse in Inman...
