"Love Me, Sexy" = Will Farrell's best song since his Robert Goulet days!

A.mazing show. Pure hilarity.

Awesome movie. Not sure how I hadn't heard about it until recently, but definitely worth watching. Very creative style and plot.

This is the best note taking app I've found on the iPad - specifically for taking notes with a stylus.

One of my favorites. Classic flick.

I like this game on the iPad. Reminds me of Excite Bike on the OG Nintendo.

Decent game. Kind of a new take on Tetris. Worth checking out if you like those types of games, but I personally got bored after my first 5-10 mins and haven't gone back.

Pretty cool app. Kinda works like a decision engine for any day/time of the week. It provided some pretty good recs the few times I've used it.

Cool. But waaay too much work to share a conversation (you have to manually enter or copy and paste into the app).

Great read for those interested in our human behavior and human evolution by one of the though leaders in the area. Full of tons of useful info and interesting facts that make you stop and think.

In response to request to "tell me more": The book is written by Robin Dunbar, who's famous for identifying "Dunbar's Number" - the cognitive limit on the number of people with whom humans are capable of maintaining close relationships. The definition is 'close relationships' is the type of person who, if you saw them in an airport, you would go up and say hello to (or would feel badly if you didn't). The number is generally accepted to be 150 for most, but ranges from 100 to 250.

So the book covers this topic in greater depth (breaking down different levels of human relationships and the cognitive limit for each), and then explores a ton of other interesting insights on human evolution. The content is somewhat academic, but it's still a quick read and easy to skim the parts you find less interesting.

Great, low-key lunch spot towards the top of Aspen Highlands. The place feels like a lodge, and has terrific food!

Amazing restaurant / bar at the base of Aspen Mountain (Ajax). Delicious food and great drinks. Perfect apres spot after a long day on the slopes.

Great resource for people interested in Microfinance. Can't say I've read the whole thing - it's pretty academic - but it's definitely deepened my understanding of this important financial instrument.

Great sports app. It was the first big sports app in the iPhone, and has subsequently been acquired by Yahoo. Must have, IMO.

iPad app that provides a cool way to discover new music. Visually stunning. My only complaint is that is takes long time to launch, and crashes periodically.

If you haven't checked out Airbnb, you should. Great way to find some nice and affordable places to stay when on the road. The concept is like what Couchsurfer was, but is becoming a better HomeAway, IMO. And the app is beautifully designed. What you would expect from two founders who are RISD grads.

Exactly what you'd expect, but a bit lower budget than you might imagine with this cast. Mildly entertaining, but definitely forgettable.

Great flick. If you saw this in the theater and haven't seen it a second time, I highly recommend you do so. Don't want to give away the movie, but my theory on it is much more concrete after a second viewing. Hint: pay attention to his wedding ring!

Disheartening look at the pervasive use and disastrous effects of "meth". DYK: 5% of Americans and 10% of college students have tried this drug?? Scary stuff.

If you like CoolHunting.com, you'll like this iPad app. Not always the most practical design, but definitely aesthetically pleasing.
