The Bombay House: All sorts of win.

There are a good sampling of  Indian cuisine restaurants in Salt Lake City, and I’ve sampled several of them. Ali Baba provides good portions and a quick, lunch-time stop. Himalayan Kitchen has a great site downtown and serves excellent food. But the one place I return to again and again, and will continue to haunt […]

Boys will be boys…

Boys will be boys, and girls will be girls. At least that’s what advertising executives in the toy industry are hoping. I like to see information presented visually. Today, I ran across a visualization that presents, in a word cloud, the phrases and words used to advertise to children, separated by the gender they are […]

ekamai Thai Curry: Get your curry fix

I’ve made many a trip to Bruges Waffles and Frites, and every time (almost always on a Saturday morning) I pass by a place called ekamai Thai Curry. Finally, this week, I managed to find a lunch to pop on down and try it. First thing about it: plan on eating outside, or on a stool at […]

Market Street Grill: Yes, the breakfast is AWE-some.

Remember yesterday when, in the midst of important budget negotiations, the President of the United States said that the Congress needed to start acting like adults? (I think he was referring specifically the Republicans, but that’s just a guess). Well, turns out that such taunting is not so uncommon. A new study by a Harvard […]

“Do what I say (pass my budget), not what I do (ignore your budget).”

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Our federal government is on the verge of shutting down. And President Obama wants Congressional Republicans to do what he says (pass his budget), not what he does (ignore their budget). The United States government doesn’t have a budget for fiscal year 2011, yet. If it doesn’t pass one by […]
