I tuned in to Conan last night to see one of the best sketches in ages. Conan enlists the help of Corbin Bernsen to present the Museum of Pop Culture References, a fictional museum for viewers who are too young to get Conan’s jokes. Wouldn’t that be a great idea for a real museum? Coincidentally, [...]
How To Eat Pocket Coffee
Sometimes I feel goofy. Other times, I’m in the mood for chocolate. Still, there are other times when I’m in the mood to film myself being goofy and eating chocolate. So, here’s a little video on how to eat Pocket Coffee. Sources tell me that you can buy Pocket Coffee in the U.S. now at [...]
Photos: The National Arboretum and Bonsai Museum
Being in Washington, DC, I live so close to national museums for everything. Lately, I have been trying to make an effort to visit more of these museums, which is why I found myself at the U.S. National Arboretum on a warm afternoon last week. I was particularly interested in checking out the National Bonsai [...]
What Makes You Happy?
It’s a new year and time for a new resolution. Rather, it’s time to pull last year’s resolution off the shelf, dust it off, and try again. In truth, everyone’s resolution is the same. It is a search for happiness. We think we’ll find it this year if we lose those 10 pounds, quit smoking, [...]
Spending the Holidays Three Houses Down from America’s Christmas Lights Display Winner – #sonyholiday
I’m spending the holidays in Tallahassee, Florida, which happens to be the town from which the Whitis family, the winners of Good Morning America’s “Our Lights Are Better Than Your Lights”, hail. I’m not only in the same town as this Christmas lights attraction, but approximately three doors down from it. When my family and [...]
Old and Busted vs. New Hotness and the Elephant in the Room – #sonyholiday
When a PR representative recently offered me the opportunity to review the new Sony VAIO S Series laptop, I was hesitant. But I realized that it would be a great opportunity to compare my previous Sony VAIO experience with my new one, as well as compare the two laptops to my relatively new MacBook Pro. [...]
Talking Tech for the Holidays – #sonyholiday
I am no stranger to writing about technology on this blog. While MissAdventures started out as a sort of diary-cum-travelogue, it has evolved to include all sorts of interests and life events – writing, parenting, social media, gadgets, men, apps, clothing, and even baseball. One of the most popular posts I’ve ever written on here [...]
You, too, Can Say You Live in New York City
Harold Cooper, the man behind extendny.com, has given all of us who’ve ever wanted to have a New York City address a reason to celebrate. This fun little application uses the Google Maps API to extend the Manhattan grid to anywhere in the world. I’m not exactly sure how it works, but I do know [...]
Stephen Colbert On Working For Free
The Colbert Report I haven’t posted on this blog in forever, but this video – a clip from last night’s Colbert Report – seemed like a good way to get my feet wet again. In this clip, Stephen Colbert discusses the recent layoff of 50 staff members at CNN: “Nobody important. Just editors and photojournalists.” [...]
Is There Anywhere You Wouldn’t Want to Travel To?
I’ve probably been thinking about this post ever since I learned that Bobby Flay doesn’t like lentils. While that may not instantly trigger in your mind the idea for a blog post about travel, I remember thinking, “He’s a chef – he’s not allowed to not like lentils.” But of course chefs have their likes [...]
