- Boys Like Girls covering Frou Frou - If you can suffer through the lame Chevy ad at the beginning, I think that these two guys from Boys Like Girls do really good job of covering the hit song from Garden State. A bonus is an acoustic version of their “Great Escape,” which I think is much better than the original, plugged-in version. Thanks Andrew.
- Pumpkin bread - It’s fall, which means pumpkin everything for me: soup, bread, beer, ice cream. You name it! Last weekend I baked two loaves of pumpkin bread for our trip to the cabin. I would eat this stuff ‘til the cows came home. Every day. Fo’ realz.
- Icon notepad - 8bit items in meatspace never get old. Awesome. But where’s my pixel pencil to write with?
- MyMileMarker.com - Anyone who’s ridden in a car with me knows I’m a dork who keeps a gas log, tallying each tank’s data in a little notebook. This summer I stumbled across a site that does much of the same for you. And while I still maintain a handwritten record as well, the digital version is great because it gives neat little charts of your fuel efficiency. And calculates your annual cost of gas…which is actually very, very depressing. And I can record via my phone now too!
- Sequence (game) - While holed-up in the cabin last weekend with three other couples, we played plenty of board games, which makes me happy. This game was new to me, and even though it uses a deck of cards (usually a death knell for me), it was overwhelmingly fun, engaging and scaled well for larger groups. Might be a purchase in my future…

I love me some pumpkin bread! What recipe do you use?

Did you guys break out the trivial pursuit or is that too much of a full contact board game for you?.....at least the way that i always remember it.

I have an unusually large throat. Not that this is much of a talent, but it sure did come in handy as a child when I wanted to swallow entire stalks of broccoli or other veggies without tasting them.
