Years ago, porn infiltrated CES. Then they were told to get their own show. The AVN show was winding up Thursday and CES was shutting down. Porn can have a big impact on consumer electronics. For example, porn helped VHS win, and now ...

Tried new Momofuku on 2nd and 13th- features something called Ssam which look like wraps- had excellent uni with whipped tofu and black tea tapioca pearls, roasted cauliflower, and a sliced American cured ham (they feature 3). Same interior style and small menu- the ony repeat I remember is the steamed pork buns.
Is John Burns ever going to cut his hair? He must be one powerful SOB to get on TV looking like that.
Keep the lasagna flying: Robert Anton Wilson, R.I.P..
I'm never sure whether to be embarrassed or not that Wilson's The Illuminatus Trilogy was the book that had the biggest impact on my thinking. I was so sad when I finished because I wanted it to go on forever. I wish he could have as well.

Everyone's doing the "connected home". By that I mean convergence of PCs, TVs, digital content, media servers, internet-based content, homenetworking, mobiles, yada, yada. Way too much stuff to try to process or even capture right now. Below is an angle from Sony -- a TV that gets content from the internet.

Picture of 188 Suffolk St. being power washed (via kottke.) Yikes. Makes me think of when Steve's nephew (?) came to visit NYC for the first time and at the end of the trip Steve asked him what he thought about the City. After thinking about it for a moment he said: "It's dirty."
