Really liking this interface. via Thrillist.
I lurve MeetinBetweenUs! I will probably use it at least a few times a week. The interface is simple and great.

mareen:
Just had dinner/drinks with Luke, Amanda & Michael, Chrysanthe & Amit.
The result: strong mixed feelings about the not-even-open-yet place, ready for reviews on several websites.
Mareen, I’m so glad I got to hang with you and Stefan my last night in NYC, and your first!
Things I just learned on the way to the airport...
The A train never arrived this afternoon so I had to find a car service in Brooklyn to take me to JFK. $44 instead of $5 for the airtrain. :(
But I used the opportunity to learn how taxi fares are structured.
Private car service:
car service owns the car
driver and car service split the fare 50/50
driver pays for gas, car service pays for everything else and lines up jobs
more common in...

Recipe: Vegan Mac 'n' Cheese Pancakes!
vegansaurus:
So yesterday, Vegansaur Jonas sent me a link to this video on the NY Times website. It features Kenny Shopsin (he’s this fabulous cursing muppet dude. Basically, he’s Bruce Vilanch done over as a truck stop chef. Seriously, watch the video, this guy’s the best.*) making something that blew my mind, MAC ‘N’ CHEESE PANCAKES! I knew I had to have them for dinner, if not right now! So,...

and after a few seconds, by chance i selected a color combination that brought up a photo of nick and amit. the internet is a tiny place.
You chose good colors! :)
Ananda Fuara!
vegansaurus:
Ananda Fuara is run by a cult! Who cares? They are not creepy. They are a peaceful cult comprised of sweet folks who love to weight lift and eat healthy, delicious vegetarian food. Frankly, I know more than one fat ass who might benefit from such a life style. And yes, I’m talking about me. And also you. Sir Fatty Faton of Fattinshire. Pet peeve #52: When meat eaters complain about...

This was one of the most successful startups from the first dotcom boom. They make anything possible. I’m so glad they survived!

junesix:
So my roommate and I were talking about round-the-world trips and I came across this one at Airtreks.com. At $1649 with $650 in taxes ($2300 total), you get airfare and transportation to 12 stops in Southeastern Asia:
San Francisco - Singapore - Saigon / Ho Chi Minh - Hanoi - Luang Phrabang - Vientiane - Angkor Wat (Siem Reap) - Bangkok - Koh Samui - Hong Kong - Beijing -...

rickyv:
This is a new weekly feature on CollegeHumor. I love the idea.
Favorite line from this edition: George W. Bush removed “Giving A Fuck” from his interests.
This is so good!
Here’s a bootstrapper’s/marketer’s/entrepreneur’s/fast-rising executive’s effort diet. Go through the list and decide whether or not it’s worth it. Or make up your own diet. Effort is a choice, at least make it on purpose:
Delete 120 minutes a day of ‘spare time’ from your life. This can include TV, reading the newspaper, commuting, wasting time in...

A classic trick from any bank robbery getaway movie, but credit is due when someone actually pulls it off.
That is so cool.
Watchphotojojo:
Sony’s automated photographer demo from Photokina 2008. It scans left/right/up/down for faces, then zooms in and takes a photo when people smile.
This is pretty awesome. Now if they could only make it hover and drift around the room by itself…
