  1. I have a bunch of samples of the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud fragrances and they are all delectable. The normal oud is EdP and the ones released in 2013 are Parfum Extrait. I really like Oud Velvet Mood so far, hopefully not too much though, since it's $375/bottle!

  2. You could get B&W film and develop it and scan it yourself. I've done it before, but it's a huge pain in the pass. The B&W photos from a film camera is better than anything I've seen in digital cameras, except maybe for the Leica M Monochrom.

  3. If you're only shooting for web viewing and not prints, the Nikon V1 with any of the 1-series primes (10mm f/2.8, 18.5 f/1.8, 32mm f/1.2) are nice and AF is fast as hell. One of my favorite little cameras and can be had for $200-300 (it was $900 new).

  4. HELP ME OUT.

    My girl lost a bet to me and she is buying dinner. The problem is she is a vegetarian (I am not). WHERE TO EAT?

    In the Bay Area (San Jose, Berkeley, Oakland, SF, etc)

    Thanks for the help

    I've heard good things about Millennium for people into that shit.

  5. I helped my CEO pick out a $3000 espresso machine for his house and set it up. In return for doing him that favor (he's a coffee fanatic and so am I), I can use his McMansion for "entertaining friends" when he's out of town. Fucking score.

  6. My job is fucking awesome.

    I work for a software startup in downtown Palo Alto. We get free breakfast/lunch/dinner, beer, soda, juice, wine, snacks, etc. Anyone you want that they don't stock? Put a request and done. I asked for fresh coffee beans from my favorite coffee shop in Seattle...done. Someone asked for a pizza overnighted from NYC...done. In 2010, the company went through about 133,000 pounds of food for 300 people.

    We get a free message each week, free laundry/dry cleaning, free gym membership (that I never use), free parking, $500 monthly rent subsidy if you live within a mile from the company. I visit the onsite chiropractor about once a month and he pops by back and neck into place. It feels amazing.

    We had our annual holiday party at the SF MoMA. Rented out the whole place, open bar, 80s cover band, ice sculptures and all that shit.

    There's an annual ski trip to Tahoe which the company pays for, including food, cabins and ski tickets.

    I come into work whenever I want (usually around 10:30 or 11am) and leave most days by 7:30pm. Although I've worked as late as 10:30pm, it's not a regular thing.
