Daily view, 10/28

• Mimobots... overpriced but still cool (like many things in life).


• Cell phones and iPods now available in vending machines. Ahh, kiosks.


• Coolhunter loses some credibility by spotlighting the Jimi, that piece of crap plastic wallet that you always pick up in places like the MOMA store, turn over a few times in your hand, then throw back onto the pile. Does anyone actually have and use the Jimi? Coolhunter must be scraping if they are featuring this thing today. It's years old and has that milennial fruity iPlastic thing happening. Sigh. Apparently this has upset me. Go figure.


• I must learn more about the Explorer's Club.


• I am hungover this morning (yes! left the house last night! woooo!) and therefore have no problem with the fact that i just whored out to iTunes for the new Wolf Parade and am ordering a pizza for breakfast.


• Apparently the entire city smelled like maple syrup last night. I was too drunk to notice, alas. Good thing, because I hate maple and probably would have tossed my cookies (psychological trigger?). By the way, I am never drunk, so I am proudly stating repeatedly that I got toasted last night because I have a misguided sense of achievement.


• The New York Times is acknowledging people like me who watch entire seasons of TV shows on DVD. I don't watch TV regularly, so this is currently the only way I access shows. Also, any article where a grown man (and lawyer, no less) proudly admits to watching all five seasons of Gilmore Girls is good stuff with me (though, in this same article, there is this disturbing quote: "My DVR is my new girlfriend," Mr. Kass said. "And she does whatever I tell her to do." Yikes).


• DAMN IT... Gothamist reports that Song, most wonderful and ridiculous and awesome of discount airlines, is being eliminated. I loved Song. Sigh.
