Sunday espresso: Wine, theater, tech, Baja in 2010
We had a great holiday up in Canada over Christmas. I was reminded once again that a Harvey's hamburger is a beautiful thing. Take that In-N-Out burger. There's a reason why NHL players flock to the place, commandeering the team bus to the closest Harvey's.

The new school of Rock?

A quiet 30th anniversary celebration for James Reber and the San Jose Rep

‘It Might Get Loud’ … and you’ll love it (film review)
"It might get loud," says The Edge with slight smirk. And boy does it, as he tears into a processor intensive, reverb heavy riff from U2's Get On Your Boots.
Although music is featured prominently in the documentary It Might Get Loud, it's really about exploring the window into the creative...
Google Nexus One: A hangover without the party?
As if the world needs yet one more piece on the new Google Nexus One phone.
Well, instead of writing my opinion, or talking up specs, let me try a different approach for today's bit: I'll snip and clip sound bites from around the Web and let you draw your...
Harlan Estate wine marketing in action; when less is more?
Harlan Estate marketing sometimes reminds me of Porsche mailers. But without the fun gadgets; just a fancy envelope, slick fonts, and impressive card stock. This one arrived with an insert that reads:
When one tugs at a single thing in nature,
he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
