just turned on a new dmtree weblog for postings relating to alternative energy called REgenerate. im sure it will be as well received as the ingeniously entitled music blog.

"AUBURN HILLS, Mich. –– Volkswagen has announced the first long-range test drive of its innovative HY.POWER fuel-cell car. On the same mountainous journey, Volkswagen also successfully tested a high-tech Jetta Turbo Direct Injection diesel using a super-clean synthetic diesel called SunFuel®. SunFuel is a non-traditional low-sulfur fuel that can be made from renewable sources such as plants, waste products and other raw materials."

not bad gulosh and snitzal (sp?) in brooklyn for brunch, Thomas Beisl, but no dessert:<(.....dinner at Hangawi first time in a long while, and i guess this was the 4th time, well this blew all 7 of us away, the dishes seemed more high toned, very clear and more careful, still BYOB @ $10 a bottle...FANTASTIC

Hangawi 3*

Weird. In the Jan 27th New Yorker, on page 70, there is a detail from the painting Hi by Michael Bevilacqua (this is at the start of the story Jon by George Saunders.) Clearly visible in the painting is Marybeth's El Teddy's logo.

No, there's no purpose to this post except to note that it's weird to see your stuff recycled and reflected back at you.

Anybody know anything about this guy?

Oh God, the Space Shuttle Columbia has blown up on reentry. My heart sank to my stomach when the picture came on TV. Seven people on board. It seems so awful, and here we are preparing for war, where we are asked to accept death on a massive scale and just, you know, go with it...

Kai 2: Had the Omakase menu, chefs seasonal.....there were some strong high's and no lows, in ways it was better than the Iron Goddess menu and some ways equal....rare raw fish from southern Japan, amazing raw shrimps apeared twice, mushroom and winter eel were througout the meal, the desserts, starter, tofu were amazing again, noodles were the best I have ever had, steak again divine.....wine list has many more choises and we found a couple but lucky for my wallet, as I had bizz 5 guests, they let me bring 6 bottles....place was packed....going back in summer when fish is abound in Japan....

our fat cat now loves, dried italian egg pasta cracked up in bite size pieces, but he doesnt like cooked egg

funny. wyliewatch at ls.com. youd think the tree would be well positioned to have insights into this burning question but i dont even think wylie would venture a guess at this point.

were all invited to the opening though, right? (cue the crickets)

this is an interesting article on 3g technology.

i somehow got logged off windows on my laptop. i have no idea what my password is since the last time i used it was probably when i got this thing 5 years ago. who knew i had a login? how can i be locked out of my computer? this is insane. i have a dummy login but now i've lost all my bookmarks, settings, etc. anyone ever have this happen or know how i can reset the password?

Spain 2003: We did a quick 7 day hard blast across North Spain, the Eastern coastal seafood is not happy (and neither am I) but we did pluck some oysters out of an area that has strong rivers flowing into the bay so oil has come nowhere near them, scary fresh stuff.......We dined mostly at local spots, places that specialized in one type of food, we BYOB'd alot and drank well (mostly old Rioja back to 1947).....2001 will be monumental for Spain overall in wine....

A neutron walks into a bar. ''I'd like a beer,'' he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer. ''How much will that be?'' asks the neutron. ''For you?'' replies the bartender, ''no charge.''

I can't wait for Alex's comments on this.

Precious.

can we get rid of pumpky?

just had lunch at that place on the corner of ludlow and rivington which has new owners and has been renovated and renamed paul's boutique. i guess the menu is the same but i hate the renovation. it had a mellow understated corner brasserie feel and now theyve given it a modish decor with green pillows and some bench seating along the walls which are too low for the tables. should have subscribed to the rule "if it aint broke, dont fix it."
