On "'We're the best thing happening in America,' said one tech entrepreneur"
I was living in the Bay Area the last time this happened, and the rising tide receded so quickly it ripped away entire neighborhoods. It's nice to be in NYC now, where that happens every other weekend.

On The Coming Real Estate Disaster for White-People Brooklyn
@Niko Bellic : Eh, I'm kind of over it now, as I live in a relatively ungentrified corner of BK and have developed a passion for gardening. We all get older eventually.

On The Coming Real Estate Disaster for White-People Brooklyn
@Niko Bellic : in all seriousness, one of the main reasons a lot of us non-parenting singletons moved to Brooklyn in the first place was to get away from all the twee childrearing in the suburbs. So as whiny as it is, I feel my neighbors when they cringe over the strollers in the local bar. NIMBY! But yes, a bit whiny too.

@Matt Gross: they might not actually legally divorce in a lot of cases, but still live/date separately. Legally divorcing is an onerous and expensive process in New York!

On Acid Flashback: A Cook’s Playlist Of Vinegars That Rock
Though I disagree with your comparison of sherry vinegar to 'Deacon Blues'(anyone can tell it's much more 'Hey Nineteen'), that chicken adobo recipe looks fantastic and I'm obviously going to prepare it tonight.

On This Weekend's Miserable Art Fairs
There seems to be a palpable internationalization of the art market and culturally specific work doesn't always translate. I also wonder if the deliberate blandness to the fairs is a result of gallerists (and the artists they pimp) forced to court the money of an increasingly smaller and more petulant population of collectors.

On Internet Still Talking About 'Girls'
Was this piece actually written in an echo chamber? Or does it just sound that way?

On Philosophy Defined
Also this: "...De Botton is the man who...published a book entitled How To Think More About Sex, an activity – and I think I can speak for the human race here – in which nobody needs any assistance."
