Tumblr Mosaic Viewer has just made it infinitely easier for me to explain why I have a tumblr.
I’m the type of person who worries about forgetting things. Not like, forgetting my keys (which I do a lot) but when I’m really happy, really sad, busy, crazy or in love - I worry I’ll forget that feeling. Even when nothing important at all is going on, I worry that down the road, in ten years or whatever, I won’t be able to remember what I was like and what my life was like. I have this feeling already about high school. I don’t remember why I made the decisions I did or what I really cared about and that really freaks me out.
This is super cheesy, I know.
I’m not really a writer (as you can see from this post) but I want to document things in a way that feels organic and that captures what I’m doing even if what I’m doing isn’t something monumental that feels worthy of documentation. I post stupid shit to my tumblr but that’s what makes it perfect for me. Because I post all this unimportant stuff, I can look back over a year ago to March 2009 and remember that I ate dinner at Whisk and Ladle with Andrew, Amir, Rosie and Sarah, that I had bangs, that Anna and I made a truly epic dinner, Andrew and I went skiing in Stowe, Julia got help from Andrew on her computer homework, that I was obsessed with Obama (hasn’t changed) and I, like many other women my age, was under misconception that 500 Days of Summer was going to be a good movie.
I don’t think I would have remembered that stuff if I hadn’t posted it.
This goes back a long time
It was maybe the mid 70’s when my buddy Joe and I happened upon Villa Pensa in Little Italy in NYC. Joe, Bill and I were regulars for 15 years. We ate mountains of calamari and drank gallons of an inexpensive Sicilian red wine called “Corvo.” My family knows all about the great food and ambiance of the place. Ever since then I have been trying to replicate the calamari marinara featured by Villa Pensa. It is not a complicated dish but I could never even get close to the Villa Pensa standard. Corvo had become ridiculously over priced and had disappeared from the market way back in the 80’s. I had given up.
Just before going to Florida for the winter I found Corvo at my local wine store for about $8. I travel to St. Louis regularly and to my amazement a suburban Italian restaurant named “Paul Manno’s” serves an incredibly good calamari marinara. I went 2 nights in a row earlier this month, ate calamari and started dreaming again.
Tonight Ann was out with friends and I decided to re engage the squid. I bought some Corvo and went to work. San Marzano tomatoes in the sauce, cooked it down a few times and added Corvo a few times before I added the squid and parsley. It was delicious. VP is not threatened but I set a new personal best. Could it be that Sicilian Corvo?
My dad is awesome.

Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash
I wanted to jot down some of our thoughts on Adobe’s Flash products so that customers and critics may better understand why we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven – they say we want to protect our App Store – but in reality it is based on technology issues. Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true. Let me explain.
Oh snap. Also note that he mentions Vimeo twice! I haven’t had a chance to fully digest this yet. Will post my thoughts on his thoughts later today. However, my favorite part so far:
We have routinely asked Adobe to show us Flash performing well on a mobile device, any mobile device, for a few years now. We have never seen it. Adobe publicly said that Flash would ship on a smartphone in early 2009, then the second half of 2009, then the first half of 2010, and now they say the second half of 2010. We think it will eventually ship, but we’re glad we didn’t hold our breath. Who knows how it will perform?
Ouch.
