Life Imitates Spinal Tap

Apparently the BBC media player goes to 11.

Chocolate for Girls

A few years ago, I suggested that chocolate makers hate women (http://evanrapp.blogspot.com/2006/04/why-is-willy-wonka-single.html). Maybe now they're starting to realize that women may like chocolate too. Introducing "Fling"! It's like chocolate but for women. http://www.flingchocolate.com/.

The New 96th st Subway Station

The gentle slope of the new 96th st subway station. Who will be the first person to climb to the top? How long will it take for the MTA to put a fence around it?

Haven't architects learned anything about NYC?

Playing with Processing

Been playing with processing. I really need to play with this more. The hardest part is trying to post it on a blog. Let's see if this works.

The Holy Grail of Cheap After Shave

Forget the Axxe Effect. This is the real deal. I knew my parents had this somewhere. I finally found this over the weekend. A 1968 vintage bottle of Hai Karate. You can't buy this for money. Well actually you can buy this on e-bay. I'm not sure if I can wear this though. I don't have the original box with the self defense strategies. I might get mobbed.

It's a Meal Because We Said So

They were giving these out on the street in Times Square a while ago. They are GNC "One Square Meal" bars. It's yet another attempt to disguise a candy bar as something else. This time it's supposed to be an entire meal. A square meal. Get it? Square .... Meal? Because it's square and it replaces a meal. You know, like a meal that you eat, but it's square. Did they bash that point into your head hard enough? Oh those clever marketers. Does this look like a meal to you? Oh sure if you eat this instead of a meal you'll surely lose weight, but then again if you drink a glass of water instead of eating a meal won't you lose even more weight? OK, I'll stop there your secret to weight loss is safe with me.

Square meal.... oh, you slay me.
