Just my various thoughts on my main areas of interest: mind, brain functions, consciousness, technology, travel, food, hamburgers, wine, champagne, high-end hotels, frequent flyer programs, credit card programs, cheap philosophy (the kind that you would not spend money to read) etc...

This blog also features hamburger photography, food porn & absurdity. It may be offensive to intellectuals & aesthetes.
This Hot Pastrami Sandwich is, without a doubt, the best I've had. Granted I only had 3 in my entire life but still! The juiciness of the Pastrami combined with mayo (yes I love mayo) made this the quintessential sandwich. Carnegie Deli in New York boasts being Woody Allen's favorite sandwich joint and I must say my taste buds seem to agree with his! The place is full of tourists but the Pastrami is worth the hassle! So, next time you're in New York, just go there!
I've just received my Apple TV 2 and can't wait to hook it up to my TV. My only regret is that my friend Steve (whom I've never met) didn't think it would be a good idea to allow Apple TV 1 owners to rent TV shows or use the Airplay feature. Granted, that's what made me buy the Apple TV 2 so from a business point of view it might have been a good idea.
Anyway, I also checked out the Google TV offering and thought its videoconferencing feature looked awesome. So, I'm wondering why Apple didn't think about letting iPhone 4 FaceTime users use Airplay in order to display the video of the party they're calling on their TV and use the iPhone 4 front camera to send their video.
In an effort to make millions of dollars, I have filed a patent with the US office of absurd ideas and will claim royalties and settlements with anyone attempting to use this secret idea (it is secret in the sense that no one reads this blog, except you of course).
One of the worst feelings that one can experience is grief. Mourning the loss of a loved one or of an ability is a painful process that, unfortunately, most human beings have to go through at one point or another in their life.
An easy way to avoid this is to become a geek and heavily involve yourself in all matters related to computers, technologies and the Internet in general. By looking forward to the next gadget release, you will lose touch with reality, become oblivious to your surroundings and effectively early-adopt the next gizmo on the very first day it becomes available. You will then throw away the tool it replaced without feeling the least bit of sadness. This whole process will enable you to become Superhuman and never have to experience grief ever again for your entire life will only be about gadgets.
Don't thank me for this awesome tip. It is provided as a courtesy of my benevolent personality. And remember that donating money to this blog is heavily discouraged and not welcome at all. In fact, if you try send me money, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger (specially if you attempt to poison and destroy my brothers).
