Bubble 2.0

Update: the video below was removed from YouTube today due to a spat over one of the still images used in this video which was lifted without permission from a photographer’s work on Flickr. People really must behave. I found Scoble’s comments on this somewhat annoying – Steal my Work, please! Who is he, Lenny Bruce? Anyway, if I got that 60s reference right, I’m trying to say that work with a copyright on it is just that. If it’s creative commons, peachy-keen – do with it what you will. But please respect others rights to ask folks to compensate them or to simply control their own distribution. It’s the right thing to do.

Hat tip to my friend Taylor Davis who posted this yesterday. Damn near priceless. I always liked that Billy Joel song. And speaking of rock trivia, you should see how you fare with the ‘Almost-Impossible Rock and Roll Quiz’ from Rolling Stone. I scored 30. Hat-tip to my buddy Chad Dickerson on finding that one.

Noah in the Sling

Noah in the Sling, originally uploaded by jetrotz. Pensive, isn’t he?

4 weeks and sleeping

4 weeks and sleeping, originally uploaded by jetrotz.

Another cute moment captured in Noah’s young life. Taken at 29 days as he napped in his crib in his future nursery. He’s still spending the majority of his time in our room in the pack-and-play or in someone’s arms. He does love the human touch, I tell ya.

Legal News

Be still my beating heart. The restaurant that taught me what fresh New England seafood is all about is coming to Atlanta – just around the corner from my office. Yes, Legal Sea Foods, that 50+ year-old institution begun by a nice Jewish family in Boston, is expanding to the A-T-L. Joining franchise locations in  Florida and the D.C. area, the 9,000 square-foot restaurant will anchor the still-under-construction  Hilton Garden Inn adjacent to the Georgia Aquarium – and no, whale shark nor beluga whale is expected to be in the menu. If I were one of the Alaskan King Crabs, I might be nervous however. I have such fond memories of going to the Chestnut Hill Legals when I was at Brandeis, from the ‘men only’ dinner my dad and I shared when he drove me to Waltham from Savannah for my freshman orientation week to the ‘impress the girlfriend’ dinner where my meager credit card limit had already been exceeded, resulting in a hasty sprint down to the mall to retrieve some cash from an ATM. I can already taste the steamers, chowder and  yes, the belly-included fried clams.  The only negative – opening is not expected until NEXT winter. I’ll be biding my time until then.
