Adam is the genuine article…
November 23, 2004
The very attentive Adam Kuban raced over on his, his, (whatever sort of motorcycle he’s riding) to assure me that his weblog Slice is purely about offering the best possible pizza fieldguide and not about I-Pod applications, ‘not that there’s anything wrong with that…’
One lengthy browsie-browse later and I can’t argue with him. Kuban has done his homework, meticulously logging it all onto his I-Pod (and generously sharing it with the world). I’d trust him to find me a slice. Take a peak at Slice or read an interview from the Gothamist about Adam. I have other questions that I prefer to ask in private first. ; )

Pie-pod
November 22, 2004
Is it a blog about finding the best pizzas in NYC or a weblog designed to sell an I-pod application? The following text has been lifted from Slice, (a weblog built around an I-pod application) to help you buy the best pizza in New York. Hm.
piPod 1.2 is now available. (Download it at right.) Significant upgrades to ver. 1.0 include implementation of additional Browse-by-Neighborhood hierarchy within boroughs subsections. (Users who prefer browsing by pizzeria may still do so.)
Added functionality also includes cross-referenced linking among entries. Typo minimization was also deployed for this release; users of 1.0 will notice that you can now buy “pints” of sauce from Di Fara sted “points.”

The Year of the Hedgehog
November 18, 2004
Pictured above is a Chinese cookie with a happy little girl dancing next to an ignited stick of dynamite.
Boey says that my interpretations of the images on the Chinese cookies are all incorrect (see the June entries). The hedgehog turns out to be a monkey – from the Chinese zodiac, and the frog doesn’t have fans in it mouth but coins – symbolising prosperity. Silly me.
