“ Twenty years ago, Mark Darin would gather with his friends to drink beer and play computer games in the coastal town of St. Mary’s in southern Maryland. Mr. Darin and his pals found the world of Monkey Island, a collection of several games about luckless adventurer Guybrush Threepwood, so captivating that they would imitate the voices of the characters. ” -

“ In a burst of inspiration, I took Mark’s computer with me as we walked down the block, figuring the recipient of the message might see us prowling the area with an open laptop and realize we meant business. I kept refreshing; the circle kept hovering; but it still stretched across the entire block, and worse, this included a big apartment building. ” - Three guys track down a stolen iPhone with the power of MobileMe.

buzzandersen: Noah Kalina: Hotel Delmano Interior One of my favorite bar rooms anywhere—it looks positively ripped from the pages of Domino Magazine. I love the shelves running along the ceiling—they make the place look like a liquor library. I think I’m in love.
