cte This place has the mole dishes in Palo Alto, hands down. Its a little on the pricey side, but its worth it for the quality of the feed and the unique menu items.
lesayoh Is that near downtown? Does palo alto have a downtown? I only know stanford and the streets around it
cte Its on California Ave. Downtown Palo Alto is the University Ave area, and California Ave is a smaller (but still Downtown-y) area.
cte Celebrating with @sammy!

I forgot how small (and expensive) the pitchers are here. Thankfully I live right next to the Nuthouse, so my dive bar needs are fulfilled.
cte I had to watch this movie again after visiting Rome. It's unbelievable that they were actually able to film on site in St. Peter's, the Sistine Chapel, Castel Sant' Angelo, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and even in the Necropolis underneath St. Peter's Basilica: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_Necropolis.

If you've been to Rome, you must watch this!

cte The only Flixster product that I actually use... :P
Except for their Facebook quizzes. How can anyone resist quizzes?

kathleen fun 140 for life!
cte Plants for life! But seriously, this is the best iphone / ipad game ever made. Better than fruit ninjas, doodle jump, etc etc. The Michael Jackson zombie sequence is priceless.
Michael_jackson_caracterizado_zombie_videoclip_thriller
fancypants Agreed. It's just so much more engaging than all these other crappy games.
cte Pre-ordered this b/c a review by @howard... looking forward to reading and comparing to my (limited) experiences w/ the "startup game".
cte Switched from a Nexus One... can't wait for this to be shipped!
cte I might give it away... want it? :)
abdullah perhaps, if it's t-mobile! i've been trying to see what the G2 is gonna be like... i'm stuck on a G1 right now.
cte Yep, it's T-Mobile. The recent Android OS update to the Nexus One is a really great improvement, but still not quite as awesome as the the iPhone.
abdullah you know, my main issue with the iphone was 2 things - at&t and typing on a touch screen. i've actually recently just installed this swipe keyboard on my android phone and holy cow it makes things a lot easier! that being said the iphone 4 is SEXY and if i didn't have issues with at&t i might have gone for it. that and i pay like half the price for mine and laila's phone plans with t-mobile.
cte Pretty amazing graphics and gameplay for an iPad app... its not very addicting, probably b/c its very different than Splinter Cell on a console; e.g. its really hard to play the game "correctly" (sneak up on enemies and disable them). Probably not worth the $$ unless you are _really_ bored & love Splinter Cell.
cte The graphics are sweet, but it gets boring and difficult after ~ 5 minutes... but this game seems insanely popular. Am I missing something?

cte This is @kathleen's favorite show, so I had to download the sneak peek of the new season for her!
jacq really @kathleen? really??
kathleen OMG, @cte was so excited about this show that he bought this. DO NOT TRY TO BLAME THIS ON ME. This was all chris.
cte Lies!
davidkim just noticed the "omgwtf'd" option, had to use it.
cte Angry Birds on the iPad... the screen is bigger, so the targets are bigger... but that doesn't make it any easier :P
Angry-birds-game
travis chris, let me know if you need some tips, I haven't played for a couple months but my ranking on Total Score in Episode 1 is holding at #45 in the U.S.
travis ;)
cte Bus from Rijecka to Rab (an Island) in Croatia. How do you take a bus to an island? You drive it on to a ferry. It was awesome.
tom What did you think of Croatia? I'm going there next month.
kathleen it was unreal! how long do you have there? the beaches were beautiful.
lesayoh you lucky SOB's.
tom Probably just a few days unfortunately. But its only a couple hours from here so I'll just head back :)
cte Audio tour of St. Vitus's Cathedral in Prague. This cathedral has some of the best stained glass windows in Europe.
kathleen The audio tour was good. Definitely worth it to hear about the history of the castle in Prague.
fnoo Looks like a gorgeous location.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Vitus_Cathedral

Did you learn anything odd or curious about the cathedral?
kathleen The artists who designed it put themselves on the outside wearing suits- it is so random, but pretty brilliant.
cte This was a Sparta Prague fan store... I bought a Czech national team sweatshirt. It rocks. The store is right in front of the Charles Bridge in Prague.
Spartapraguehss0708
cte Epic game... even more epic on the iPad!
Plants-vs-zombies
cte OMG new season of Mad Men!!!

I am addicted. The season opener is amazing. You can start to see Don unraveling...
SemtexGirl I can't wait until they get to the 70s and he's in rehab, Betty's on husband number four, and Sally's a prostitute.
fancypants Yeah, Sally's really on the fast track to the bordello.
lesayoh Sally is awesome. She is gonna be hanging with andy warhol in the 70's
fancypants Sally's character is based on my mother, and I have 8 brothers and sisters.
cte @kathleen watched this on her iPad when we flew home from Europe. She apparently loved it. I didn't watch it b/c I am jealous of how hot Robert Pattinson is.
Mzi
kathleen interesting movie. i definitely got watery eyes, but @cte didn't even notice.
fidjissimo I loved that movie, it was really intense and moving. Loved the tortured characters. And yes, the fact that RPattz is hot does help a lot :)
cte If you download this, you get 1 free hour of wireless. I desperately needed to check my email at O'Hare.
cte Attention everyone who liked "The Boondock Saints": DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. It is awful.

Really bad acting. Really bad story. I lasted 10 minutes.
john @sammy 10 mins seems pretty good to me.
saarsaar good to know. I saw the first one
FCastle25 The first movie was a classic. They tried to put all the same elements in this movie but it felt forced and then just got cheesier at it went on.
eradke it was ok, the original is one of my favorites, I agree with @FCastle25 review
cte @kathleen got hold of my netflix password.
kathleen when do you want to watch this??
lazybearkhoa I want a life that is mine!
cte Heard this on the radio, and needed to listen to the whole thing. Its okay. Lesson: they only play the good songs on the radio.
Mzi
joshmattvander Give it some time. I thought that too at first, but it grew on me.
adamadanderson Yeah, what Josh said. Give it some time. This is a deeper album. I actually like it.
jah meh. I like some of his stuff, but this album doesn't have what I like.
cte iPad for @kathleen. I am a good bf.
Apple-logo
ryan i was at fb today @kathleen thanks for saying hi!
kathleen when? where? why didn't you come find me????
pud aw.
true_bernie nice!
cte @kathleen & I bought a new bed! And now I sleep way too much.

We got this at the Sleep Train in PA. Our salesdude was weird, but I think we got a really good deal (60 day retroactive price matching!)

Here is exact model: http://www.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=397603&CategoryID=25931

The price at Sleep Train is > 50% off.
kathleen it was interesting, we just got a handwritten card from "john" the salesman telling us to stop by and say hi sometime. somewhat creepy, but the bed is incredible.
brolop stearns and foster makes a great bed....thats a deal.
jah A good friend of mine made more than $80k/yr (from commissions) as a salesman at Mattress Discounters until they closed. His charm is a force of nature, and he's a good guy, too. Mattresses are oddly personal, and the markup is over 50%.
cte Monthly bill for my soon-to-be-replace-by-a-new-iphone Nexus One.
Missing
davidhornik It would be interesting to track the shelf life of the average Nexus One. I'm guessing it would be pretty short.
cte Soooo... tired... need... coffee...
Caffeine
aathreyarbkm @cte Starbucks is worth the bucks that we spend .
saurabh is that a red bull?
cte Invoices made easy from @lwang!
cte Take-out from the counter. 1 pound of beef on a salad FTW.

netspencer It worked :)
ryan_test hello
ryan_test hello
ryan_test hello
cte Another book I bought in real life and then bought for my kindle b/c non-electronic books are soooo 2007.
cte I had to feed @kathleen... again. Don't get the iced coffee here. It sucks (and Starbucks is right across the street).
kathleen now i sound like a fatty!
