12 hours ago by chirpingoctopus

Google has announced that they will be offering free WiFi as a gift this holiday season at 47 airports. As you might expect, Philadelphia is not on the list. While I’m not sure of the official reason Philadelphia didn’t make the list, I’d bet it has more to do with PHL than Google. http://www.freeho ...

Lady, At Least Put Up A Fight

16 hours ago by Adam Hart

[ Adam Hart] I don’t care how drunk you are — if you fall on the tracks with a train approaching, you get that adrenalin pumping, wake your ass up and hop back up on the platform. This is just a terrible performance. Luckily, those bystanders flagged down the T driver and got her to stop. It’s amazi ...

The trip to Buangkok was cancelled this morning when I saw that my tonsils were swollen and covered with white patches. My first reaction was, ‘Crap, just when I got over my laziness too.” Then I started panicking because I probably have tonsillitis. (Refer to picture below) SO GROSS. (IMAGE IS NOT ...

NYC Street Cleaning: The unintended environmental consequences

1 day ago by kellynford

Video watch it in action This video

Few New Yorkers would disagree that parking in the city is a nightmare. There aren’t enough street parking spaces to accommodate all the cars, and garaging a car can cost upwards of $500/month. It’s even trickier when cars have to be moved to allow for street cleaning. But one thing which is just pl ...

Tale of A Greedy Wingman

1 day ago by Single City Guy

Last week, in a city that I’m not familiar with, I and a co-worker went to a club. Throughout the week he was the only person I had known and we’re both just as familiar with this foreign city.

Thoughts from the candy bowl

1 day ago by jdawson001

While digging through the huge bolw - pot, really - of Halloween candy, the following thoughts struck me: Why does everything come in a "sour" version now? Sour skittles. Sour gummies. Sour suckers.

A Baby In Congress — I’ve Seen It All

1 day ago by Adam Hart

[ Adam Hart] This may seem cute to some people. But I’m taking issue with a few parts of Rep. John Shadegg’s (R-Ariz.) use of a small child in his debate against health care reform.

Crash and numbed

1 day ago by Ariel Dalloway

Camera: Samsung GT-I8000 mobile phone My weekend was almost entirely spent at Admiralty, then Yew Tee doing nothing but sleep, play card games and eat a ton of junk food.
