Chipotle Ordering App
This app is amazing. I wish every restaurant/cafe had one of these. Sometimes I go to Chipotle just because of this app.
girlfriday
Oh my gosh... YES!!!!
beverlynoelle
Uhhh...is this what I think it is? You can order your Chipotle and it is READY FOR YOU?! How have I not heard of this sooner?!
girlfriday
Bikini season's going to have to wait.

@beverlynoelle Yes, it's pretty great. You can also fax them your order and they'll have it ready at the cash register, with your name on it.

Such a fun movie... my favorite Coen Bros. one for sure.

What kind of soup??
jah
I've been known to stumble from Thai restaurant to Thai restaurant asking about every soup on their menu: "DOES IT HAVE GALANGA ROOT?!"
bestfriend
Thai soup is one of the bests.
Brinno GardenWatchCam with Flash Drive, Item GWCTLC130A
This is so cool. It's a time-lapse camera. Trying to figure out where I'm going to put it.

on plants! in a garden!
sb13Productions
it sounds really cool! how do you upload the video to the computer?
ashvin
I think it's just via USB.
saunieindiego
Yes, please do tell, does it have usb connector? How often does it snap a picture? How is the quality? Will it shoot in low light?
jah
Sounds fun! Let us know how this goes? My first thoughts are recording a party (e.g. set it up before people arrive - and let them know it's there), and normal indoor house shots (the cycles of dishes piling up).
abdullah
this sounds way cool. i agree with @Bonny109 you should totally post a video from this camera onto this review!
Crema Coffee Roasting Company
Killing time in between soccer games in Santa Clara. This looks like an SCU hang.

Fun! So they roast their own coffee beans there? Did you notice a difference in taste or quality or anything?

what's the chronicle special??
ashvin
It's basically yogurt with oatmeal, figs, strawberries & honey. Yum.
riddlefish
Mmmmmmmm... That sounds amazing! Is this a chain? Where can I find one?
ashvin
Only in the Bay Area currently, but I'm sure they are hatching plans for global expansion.

OOOO, I've never tried the soup there! Do they ever have any fun kinds, or is it mostly a chicken noodle situation?

Mugabe and the White African
This is an interesting documentary about land reform in Zimbabwe. 70% of the best farm land in Zimbabwe was owned by white farmers. When Mugabe took power, "land reform" basically meant redistributing the farm land to the majority, often times by force. Today there are very few farms owned by whites, who have either been forced to learn new trades or who have been driven out of Zimbabwe all together. This documentary is the emotional story of the resistance of one of the last white farmers.
riddlefish
Huh. Weird. Was there a lot of controversy about this film?
ashvin
Yeah, I think so. The film doesn't really discuss the backdrop of the land distribution. The main theme is very much about "mugabe is violently taking land from only white farmers", which is certainly unfair, but it's clearly a much more nuanced situation.
dive_philospher
how did the white farmers come to own 70% of the farm land in the first place?
ashvin
It was a british colony.

Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies App
This game is awesome and totally worth the $5. We burned several hours playing 3 person co-op over the wi-fi network. The multiplayer games on the iPhone are getting better and better.
TheFind: Mobile Shopping App
I downloaded & used this app to scan an in-store barcode to see if I could get a better price elsewhere. Pretty useful.
Supercuts
My local supercuts went away, but @sammy directed me to another one around the corner. I got the #4 buzz this time.

seconded @abdullah. I started cutting my own hair a few years ago and I've never looked back. I actually take pleasure in doing a good job, and hook my friends up when I'm feeling generous. Might start chargin them soon.
pud
I've been cutting my own hair since I was 20. And I've used the same pair of clippers (made by Wahl) for half that time. #4 on top, #3 on the sides, #2 for the edges.
Garden State
I can't believe I hadn't seen this movie. It was okay. I think I would have enjoyed it a few years ago, but now it just feels kinda overdone to me. Great music though.
lesayoh
yea i think the music made it seem better than it was
gkruis
The first couple of scenes are pretty good. In fact, there are a lot of memorable scenes, but I don't know that the overall movie is that awesome.
Been sooo long.

Quality storyline and well executed, never mind originality. I hadn't seen this until recently and I loved it (and the soundtrack)

Public transit from Atlanta airport. Atlanta traffic is terrible, so this is the recommended solution.

Definitely the way to travel in ATL. Direct route to downtown and much quicker than driving!
