Apple's CarPlay looks great (if you don't have an iPhone dashboard mount)

Reading through criticisms about Apple’s CarPlay implementation, it seems CarPlay’s purpose is to allow iPhone access through the car’s built-in touchscreen, rather than a dashboard mount, which is what I use. Mount provides full access to my iPhone, keeps the screen out of the way yet still in sight and at hand, plus I have a remote control for music and backup Bluetooth audio. And it works in our 10 year-old, 2004 Prius.

Happy Polar Vortex!

How I welcomed the New Year

Made a fine-ass vegan pizza with spinach, mushroom, and Daiya mozzarella.

Red Lantern Sheldon Cooper

Or me in real life. Not sure which I'm going as for Halloween but they're kinda interchangeable.

Food trucks at 2013 @DCVegfest

Food trucks are a welcomed addition to DC Vegfest this year. Woodlands Vegan Bistro, The Randy Radish, Everlasting Life, and BONMi.

First meal at 2013 @DCVegfest

Black bean "crab cake" sandwich and chicken fried "steak" with kale and mac & "cheese".

My first bite at 2013 @DCVegfest

Chocolate chip pumpkin vegan cheesecake on a stick. So worth the wait in line.

All systems go for #DCVegfest

Starbucks in one hand, iPhone in the other, and Contour Roam2 on my shoulder.

My doctor has good judgment (in PCs)

At a doctor’s appointment and noticed my doc upgraded his notebook to an HP Elitebook 2760p. Used it in notebook mode the entire visit, but felt reassured by our shared good judgment in computer equipment.

I have so few reasons to wear this shirt.

Waiting to see Herr Metal at Herndon Friday Night Live.
