This past Saturday, I was sitting at home with exactly six-and-a-half months’ experience as a homeowner and freaking out over Hurricane Sandy.* To calm my nerves, I decided to watch some ridiculously wretched reality TV on Bravo: Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles…
So it looks like 2012 is the year of bizarre, freak-show storms on the East Coast. First, there was the derecho (a new word added to my vocabulary). And now there’s the impending “frankenstorm”—Mother Nature’s pre-Halloween mash-up of a nor’easter and a hurricane…
“The League” on FX is not exactly must-see TV for me. It’s a raunchy comedy about dudes and fantasy football with all the predictable jokes and outlandish scenarios that you might imagine…
Call me a nerd, maybe, but I’ve been thinking a lot about “bots” lately. Wired magazine last month did a fascinating profile of the game-changing company MakerBot that designs and produces affordable 3D printers.

In my previous post, you got an eyeful of the artwork in our main living area. Well, now, come hither into our master bedroom…
I’ve had this idea for awhile to combine two things that I love into a regular feature. Growing up in Philly listening to 93.3 WMMR, I’ve always remembered “Double-Shot Tuesdays” where the DJ (usually Pierre Robert) would play back-to-back songs from the same artist…
The photos of our townhouse in my post back in July were sadly devoid of any artwork on the walls. Since art is deeply personal and integral to the design as well as the look-and-feel of a space, I invite you to check out our progress on the decorating front…
