Considering the case is before the court, I don’t know how wise that was. Conservatives are already calling for her and Kagan to recuse themselves from the ruling because they officiated at same-sex weddings. This issue doesn’t need any more gasoline on it — or any more ammunition for the talking heads. http://www.gopu…

Nespresso offers a free recycling service as their pods are made of aluminum and are designed to be recycled. Just grab one of their recycle bags, fill it up with empties (I keep mine in the fridge), and bring it back. I do it all the time, couldn’t be easier.

I was trying to shoot some beat-up old highly-reflective tintypes and 20c daguerreotypes (really late ones and not really valuable) a few years ago. I built myself a sweet setup of diffusers and modified a tripod to shot straight down at them, but, no matter how hard I tried, there were still reflections everywhere.…

Replace the sinkhole or subway vent grate with an open sidewalk-cellar-door and you have my NYC nightmare.

You assume there's any frosting left by the time they're cool enough to frost...

In my more selfish moments I've often had the thought that Leonardo Di Caprio exists solely to ruin everything I've ever wanted to see. But he can have Rihanna.
