Not much time so not much commentary ….

I liked Life as a Bon Vivant’s review of this congee place in Jordan.

A very cool wristwatch, looks like a cassette tape (daddy, what’s a cassette tape?) and the little reels actually spin.

Americans spent $168 million on virtual mobile goods last year.   That’s a lot of nothing!

Taste test of Japanese curry mixes.

Round-up of the “big” reviews of the iPhone 4 so far – Pogue, Mossberg, etc.   In a nutshell, they all pretty much love the phone and hate AT&T.

Kubrick vs. Scorsese – Wonderful montage of the two filmmakers I feel most connected to.  (Kubrick’s from the Bronx and I worked for him for a short period.  Scorsese & I went to the same school several years apart, had the same teachers, each got our first gig at CBS sports – never met him although when I lived in Manhattan, for some reason location scouts came to look at my apartment as a possible location for King of Comedy.)

Rolling Stone mag puts its controversial profile of General McChrystal online, something they rarely do.  But in this case it was being excerpted in so many other places, I guess they had no choice.

The iPad has sold 3 million units in 80 days, putting it on track to become the fastest selling mobile device ever.  And with so many territories still to roll out, it should maintain or even quicken its pace.

Last but not least, via CNNGo, this piece at Lonelee Planet highlights Japanese ads featuring beautiful girls in bikinis holding up mugs of beer.  I know at least one of my steady readers is gonna enjoy this one.
