Eureka, broadway style
I'm so excited I can't stand it! I've been waiting for months, and months, and months, and months, well frankly, FOREVER, for new episodes of Eureka. (due to the writer's strike last year...)
Happy Day! New episodes are on the horizon. July 29th to be exact. I wonder when they'll have the show uploaded online? (I don't have a t.v.)
What is Eureka? A well-written comedic, upbeat, techy, and quirky sitcom that provides fun entertainment for geek and non-geek alike. In a day when there are very few shows that aren't based on crappy "reality", trying to sell sex, or push some boundary to see how far they can go without being fined by the FCC, Eureka stands out, in a good way.
For those of you who would like to catch up on the first two seasons, visit your local Netflix Queue for the easiest and most cost effective fix. For those of you who'd like to check out a few episodes to get back in the groove, go to the SciFi channel where you can watch the five episodes they're displaying at the moment.
Really short promo flick on the SciFi site, here.

Gardens, in the sky
Image credit: SOA Architects, via the NY TimesAn interesting read from the NY Times about vertical farming. Here's to a greener us, and fresher produce. Although I wonder if I'd actually want to eat anything that actually grew in our smoggy polluted city... but that's a topic for another day.
NY Times article here.

What We Need, is pho
Have you noticed the inordinate amount of sushi places popping up on the UWS, particularly between 84th and 77th street, ranging from Columbus Ave to Broadway? I mean how many sushi houses do we need?
What we really need is somewhere to get good Pho, so I don't have to trek all the way down to Chinatown or Chelsea.
So to all you restaurateurs out there, PHO. WE WANT PHO.
Preferably, on the Upper West Side.

Ooooo Ooooo!, oo7
I was sauntering along Broadway earlier this evening and happened to pass the AMC Hoffman at Lincoln Square, and guess which movie poster I saw?!?
Quantum of Solace 007, due to release in November 2008. :)
So I had to view quite a few trailers until I got one that didn't look like a hodge-podge of older bond films, so I wonder at the accuracy of the clip above. If the clip is accurate as to the upcoming film, then it looks like part of the movie was filmed in NYC, or at the very least, that a few NYPD cop cars made it to the set.
-Bitter
Edit: Now that I think about it, a couple of the scenes shown in the clip remind me of The Bourne Ultimatum..... hmmm, I wonder if they borrowed from that film to make the clip...
Edit 2: The embedded link seems to be working for me, but just in case, here's the URL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40F6hJZjrOc

Mac Keyboard, love it / hate it
Love it and hate it.
Loves: Ooooo shiny! Thin design, looks cool. The keys are super slim so you don't have to depress the keys very far, result, my fingers feel super sexy while typing.
Hates: Um, I'm used those big bulky keys as place markers, kind of feeling my way around the keyboard. Now I just have to type and hope I hit the right key... Mostly, I don't like that the volume keys don't work.
Did a little research and it seems like this is a consistent problem, tried to download the fix, twice, unsuccessfully. So no volume for me, as of yet.
-Bitter
Edit: Well I finally called applecare. It was an easy/idiotic fix. It looks like the default setting is for the volume keys NOT to work.
If your volume keys aren't working. Try opening up System Preferences. Click on Keyboard and Mouse, then "de-select" "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys". Stupid if you ask me.

Moving on.
My new favorite song. :)
