Snackology is the category for blog business. (For a refresher on what all the snack-isms mean, go here.) Many have queried via email as to the provenance of the recently added Japanime drawing of moi. It was created by Tokyo illustrator Takeshi Nitta of Cubicface. I think it adds some…

Wine Rave NYC 2007. I kid you not. It’s happening later this month. The basic notion is that a rave is the perfect environment for budding oenophiles in the 20 to 30-something age range. Apparently, it’s got more appeal than your father’s wine tasting. While the event lasts two days,…
