Get Skinny #2....

Lost like 8 pounds already, and today I did my first colonic to prep for the Liver Flush......I feel awesome, cant believe that cutting loose remnants of 7,379 Big Macs could make one feel so good!!!!
No tapeworm was the best news (1 in 5 she said, including her own daughter), but I have a yeast issue, she said that all the wine and pasta (my old 1 and 2 food group) has left a fermentation factory.....

Now I drink apple juice 32oz's for 6 days and a vegan diet to be ready for the FLUSH!!!

saints be praised aka barack obama doesnt care about black people.
hey deadheads!
we are enjoying under $20 lunch of duck rillettes crepe, acorn squash soup and pressed andouille, mushroom and manchego sandwhich from Paradou Marche- new take out place in Essex Market. Yum and cheap. Also have take home meals like coq au vin, cassoulet, pork tenderloin with merguez choucroute for under $12. Only drawback market closes early and on Sunday.
Best Vegan Meal in NYC??

Bar Masa.....not cheap but was a vegan meal front to back, highlights included a muchroom roll crusted in winter truffle, spicy cucumber tataki, winter root veggie and seaweed salad, and the best yuba I have ever tasted "Masa's mother overnighted it from her favorite producer".

Its a Hangawi + food experience....
Blue Hill Stone Barns: beet burgers and a beet parfait ruled the amuses, the first course was this strange fish that was like a swordfish, served raw, scary....Amazing muchroom/salad and "todays egg" corse was dish of the meal, great winter veggie course and lovely desserts......next meal downtown or uptown I am doing "lacto ovo veggie"

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 ...

AVN: Will Blu-ray walk into the anti-porn trap?

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.
Bipartisan network neutrality bill introduced in Senate.
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. A Sony TV pulling up content from the Sony media properties cuts a shitload of middlemen right out of the equation. Interesting.

Anyway, the issue is making it easy. I know people that get overwhelmed when a third remote control enters the equation. I don't know the answer, but whoever figures out how to harness the power of convergence is a way that's easy to use will do very well.
