How awesome is this? I think that regardless of what type of music you like/don’t like you’ll enjoy this. Aside from the music itself, It’s so much fun to see someone have so much fun playing music. Video is after the jump… + Continue Reading

Essential for City Living

SitOrSquat.com

SitOrSquat.com

So I came across SitOrSquat.com today. Touted as “A Place to Find and Record Bathrooms Anywhere in the World’ (presently only in a few places listed below), this has to be one of the most overlooked topics for geo-mapped sites (also, more importantly, available for mobile devices/phones). As a long time city dweller, I can’t think of a more valuable resource. Though I imagine there are more than a few places that you could breeze into and out of to handle your business, you’ll have plenty to chose from. I doubt there is one Manhattan citizen or visitor that will not want this on their phone.

From their site:
Over 50,000 Toilets!!!
Big news today! We’ve been downloaded near 1,000 times on the iTunes App Store and we’ve added over 50,000 service station toilets in the United States. Please feel free to add photos and comments to any of them which may be in your area or if you have ever visited them. We’re currently working on adding more service stations throughout the world as more data comes in. Stay tuned!
LOCATIONS
In the US: Seatle, WA, Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA, New York, NY, Miami, FL, Chicago, IL, San Francisco, CA
In the UK: London, UK
I found out about this via Thrillist

MAILER-DAEMON…?

Cassetta per le lettere

OK I’ve seen it a million times (perhaps even more) but never really knew what it meant or cared to investigate. MAILER-DAEMON. Turns out its really not that interesting but I’ve been receiving a particularly large – but now shrinking – amount of mail from them. Lets get to the definition of what it is then I’ll get into how I’m actually reducing SPAM with a simple click. The definition of MAILER-DAEMON according to PC Mag (I’m a Apple guy but whatever) is: + Continue Reading

Inquiry >> Sporting Event Commencement Times

Its on...

It's on...

I was having dinner with family recently and the topic of “Why do some sporting events start at such strange times? Kickoff at 12:09, tip-off at 3:07.” I reached out to Managing Director, Paul Swangard of the world renowned James H. Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. I have more info about them below, and below that is our email conversation and the answer to the question about sporting event commencement time. + Continue Reading
