Is that photo of the actual poundcake that you made? That's amazing! It truly is thoroughly modern. In fact, it's so modern that it's moderne... tres Art Deco. That is one sexy sexy poundcake!...

Yay! I'm hoping that Vivace will lend some a lot more character to that otherwise sterile building....

ToasterDan, I agree; the 405 model seems perfectly reasonable. Somewhat ironically, of course, one can get around pretty well during those off-peak times without using HOV lanes... but it's nice to ha...

I've always liked their quick-service counter off to the side much better than the actual restaurant... feels more honest and you can get all the simple, delicious fried fried fried (but not overdone)...

The gesticulation makes sense: take our jittery fingers away from our keyboards and we need to do something with 'em. This is why, I would bet, the lovers of Seattlest writers are a happy bunch of peo...

Indeed! David Silver is one of the sheriffs of Awesomeport--an excellent teacher and one who seems to be able to do so many amazing things both in and out of the classroom. ...

All the accolades MicroSoft has been getting for this feature are well deserved! I'm grateful that MicroSoft has finally invented the private browsing mode that Safari has been employing for a while n...

Sweet photos! I was boarding a plane at O'Hare when this line of thunderstorm cells started passing through Chicago. We were sitting at the gate for over an hour. Apparently, they evacuated an (off-si...

You know, if the lot is not in a highly visible location, it just might make sense to pay both the actual fare box as well as the "pretendant" since they will likely be the ones smashing your car wind...

jrickard: I'd like to see Seattle drivers become something in between their current incarnation and the jerks from Chicago. There's really no call for the assmittenry that I saw on the road, which was...

Enh... *yawn* Boston and its tedious sense of self-importance brought on by its overblown Brahmin entitlement... *zzzz* Its history and architecture are impressive, sure sure, but they are unfortunate...

We somehow managed to find shady spots up at 4th & Bell; not too hot and really nice actually. Agreed, the (lack of) floats were pretty lame. On the other hand, seeing representation by different and ...

Neither is to be trusted implicitly. The private sector is no more immune from cheating, lying, and stealing than is the state....

Ruffhauser, you are correct, melting of the north polar ice cap will do very little to directly contribute to sea level rise since it is already in water. It is the south polar ice cap that, if it mel...
