Top 4 cheap eats in Manhattan
Here are my top 4 cheap eats. It’s been the same list for a few years now. These are places that I pretty much have to eat at if I am near them. In no particular order:
1. Kati Roll. These are incredible Indian rolls. I get 2 chicken rolls for a cost of $8.50. They are pretty spicy, pretty greasy and delicious. There are two locations in NYC - West Village and Midtown near Penn Station.

Concert Review: Wilco at Keyspan Park 07/13/09
On Monday night, I went to see Wilco at Keyspan Park in Coney Island. This was the first Wilco show I have been to. They are my 3rd most listened to artist since 2004, so it was long overdue. The show was great. I was a little nervous that they were going to play songs mostly from their new album which I have only heard a handful of times. But that was not the case. They played a ton of songs...
Augmented Reality - Awaire's Yellow Brick Road
Back in 2004, while a grad student at ITP, I took a class called Design Expo. The class was a competition sponsored by Microsoft. The idea was to envision how communication would change in 3-5 years.
My group (Anne, Dimitri and Isabel) came up with Awaire. Awaire was a portable mp3 player and accompanying service. Since this was for 3-5 years out, we imagined a world where the portable mp3...
My First Game at Citi Field
On Saturday night, I went to my first game at Citi Field. I’m a pretty big Mets fan, but usually only go to 2 or 3 games a year. Partly because Shea was not very fun, but also because it’s a 45 min subway ride, it’s usually hot and uncomfortable and HD is really nice.
I went with my sister and brother-in-law who had been a few times already. I must say, I really loved the new...

WatchWe (AOL Music) recently redesigned The Interface video show. The Interface has existed for a few years as a series of blog posts with an accompanying podcast. Over the years, we’ve had amazing artists such as Spoon, The Raconteurs, Bloc Party and of Montreal come into our studio and perform. Usually we book these artists before anyone has heard of them. It is an amazing place to find new...
