Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre have a collection of photographs to arouse the aspiring urban explorer in all of us. The collection titled Photography of the Unexpected and Neglected Architecture explores the dirtier side of building imagery. Abandoned factories, broken windows, rusted metal… Perfect!
Our society once erected singular and surprising buildings in all […]

Have you ever have witnessed an act in public that warrants calling someone out as a douche? We all have. However, we also have probably felt inappropriate confronting said person and informing them of our recent conclusions. Enter the douche card.
Tired of arguing with complete morons? Tired of getting into bar room […]

Training for a deployment to Iraq usually requires joining the military, going through boot camp, and then enduring a long ride overseas before you get to see any real action.
Falls at Shadow Mountain, formerly Reserve at Shadow Mountain, can give you similar thrills for nothing more than the price of a Grayhound bus ticket to […]

In our continuing quest to bring you the most tempting of woefully overpriced epicurian delights, I’d like to introduce you to the blingest of the bling; NYC style.

Pocket Change offers up the priciest treasures in Gotham as discovered by Richard Nouveau, self proclaimed “prominent urban raconteur.”
His website features everything from the uber-decadance of a $1000 […]

Note to everyone:  As reported on Digg yesterday, eBay is not your best bet for selling a laptop, ipod, or anything else.  Thank the Nigerians for that.
In doing a little poking around I came across a wrap up of a hilarious prank some savvy netizens pulled over on a Nigerian trying to ply the idiotic escrow […]

When nature calls, you have to pick up the phone.

Semoran North Apartments.  New motto?
The most digusting place I’ve ever had the misfortune to live in.

This post is dedicated to Glenn, our friend who has blocked wikipedia access from his home computer to prevent the three hour information binges that tax his productivity.  For the past four years wikipedians (those who update wikipedia) have been collecting and reviewing what they deem the most unusual entries. There are only two rules […]

Spending this last weekend with my own “posse” in Scottsdale / Phoenix has reminded me how great it is to have truly close friends. (Big ups to Zach, Greg, Glenn and Gucci).
Perhaps it’s no surprise then that one of our guiltiest pleasures is watching Entourage.
In celebration of the upcoming season (well, continuation of the season) […]

You got myspace? Yeah, well, so do we. Check it out. Be our friend.

I am off on a trip this weekend and, as usual, we are bringing a few bottles with us to setup our own hotel bar.  Figuring out just how much we’ll need is always a difficult task.  Cleverly using google calculator makes it a lot easier.
If you are not familiar with google calculator, it is […]

Dear Readers,

Some apartments offer a great location, while others rely on their unique amenities to attract perspective residents.
For instance, when your new year’s resolution is to get in shape, it’s hard to beat a jogging track for a good cardio workout.

The jogging track was hardly ever used. Maybe that’s because it was an uneven, gravel trail […]

“Glamourous gold digger seeks wealthy sugar daddy for mutually superficial relationiship; looks, brains, personality not important.”
Sounds like a fairy tale, no?
Well in a move that should surprise absolutely no one, a new NYC speed dating service seeks to answer the age old question:  “Who’s got next; Paris Hilton-esq spawn of satan wise?”

Abcnews.com has an article […]

Nick Douglas over at Valley Wag has compiled a list of the twelve funniest web contributors.  I am already addicted to Ryan North’s Dinosaur Comics.  With a list of 11 other entertaining sites, I’m sure to get very little work done at all in the near future.
Some of them you recognize, some of them you […]

Into every life, some rain must fall.  Sometimes, that ‘rain’ takes the form of a leaky waterbed in the apartment above yours.
And the fall?  That’s the sound of dreams, and all your personal belongings, as they’re thrown to the ground below.

Tonight, it sounded like they were trying to kill each other. The girl broke every […]

Robert Greene researched and analyzed myth, history, and story to come up with his 10 types of seducers in his book The Art of Seduction. Nerve, thankfully, has typed up the brief descriptions of each. The ten types are…

The Dandy
The Natural
The Coquette
The Charmer
The Charismatic
The Star
The Anti-Seducer

I’ve been called the […]

Although my true weakness when in NYC is Bleecker St Records (the defacto standard spot for rare, RARE musical goodies) a close second is the venerable “Other Music”.
A treasure trove for indie fans, electrophiles, and underground DJ’s alike, Other Music has been a destination for vinyl hunters seeking the truly esoteric for years.

Finally, they’re taking […]

Some complexes have it all.  Convenient access to the airport.  Lots of wildlife in the area. 
The rustic charm of a nearby railroad. 
And most importantly, a manager that puts their residents first.  Caring, heartfelt, and loved by all.  Welcome to Innwood Park, formerly Quail Oaks.

as far as the peter guy or the owner manager ……BLOW ME…..you […]

Currently, I’m engaged in a very active search for a new job. 
Having been out of the ‘game’ for several years, I’ve had to come to terms with some changes in strategy that are necessary to improve my chances.

The Cincinnati Post has a short, to the point article about ways of maximizing your chances in the Monsters […]

With all the buzz in this week’s poll about the sultry Scarlett Johansson, I thought I’d give our readers a bit of hope that one day that beautiful body may be bared for our ahem, ‘curious’ (read: impossibly horny) eyes.

According to thebosh.com, reigning porn diva herself Jenna Jameson has hand picked Scarlett to star in […]
