roku
i don’t have cable and typically never feel the desire to spend 30 minutes flipping through hundreds of channels to still find nothing to watch. don’t get me wrong, i do enjoy watching tv and i’m a big movie buff and that’s why i bring up roku. roku is now the size of a USB drive and allows users to stream the best movies, tv shows, live sports, music, games and more—all instantly on your TV, whenever you want it. this is going to give apple tv a run for it’s money.

we are hunted
music is what gets most of us through the day. the challenge, which the music industry and others have realized, is the difficulty in finding new artists. we are hunted is a company that is working to make it easier for people to discover new music. their about sections states:
We listen to what people are saying about artists and their music on blogs, social media, message boards and P2P networks to chart the top 99 songs online right now. Looking at music this way, we detect sentiment, expression and advocacy to better understand what people like and dislike at any given moment.
i’ve just started to play around with it so check it out here and let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

miami is becoming over run with food trucks. i’m not talking about your old school “why would you eat at a food truck” kind. i’m talking gourmet “this is the best food ever” kind. well, to add to the miami collection coolhaus will be providing our great city with gourmet ice cream starting later this month. it’ll be hitting all the traditional areas but be sure to follow their miami twitter account to be in the know of what they’re offering and where they’ll be.

seenonvarick visits nyc
as you may have noticed i took a bit of a summer break from the blog and what better way to come back than with a photo recap of my nyc trip last week! i left thursday before the sun came out and…
…nyc greeted me with it’s typical september weather of grey skies and scattered showers.
the reason for the trip was for a marin event that was a nice opportunity to network and meet face to face with the marin team i’ve been working with.
the event was held at a rooftop in chelsea with a beautiful view of the empire state building, thank you marin.
after the event we went to dinner at dos caminos in soho and stumbled upon this piece of art hanging between two buildings made of thick plastic it seemed, what else would you expect from ny?!
then friday i went to the meatball shop for a very late lunch which was amazing, such a simple meal can be so delicious.
and then stumbled quickly through time square to meet a friend for a night out.
saturday i did brunch with some friends in brooklyn at the buttermilk channel and then headed back to the island and strolled through the high line (photos above and below).
that night i went to do hwa for korean bbq which was amazing and then for a nice night cap.
the trip quickly wrapped up on sunday with brunch at esperanto in the east village and then i was sent off with some fresh juice which made me start thinking of buying a juicer…hmmm…
it was such an AMAZING trip! it was great to see so many people and for those i wasn’t able to see i’m sure i’ll see you on my next trip up in the coming months. back to sunny miami beach!
