Au Bon Pain (or “ABP” as we Brown kids call it) now offers a bacon and cheese mini loaf that looks a lot like the southwest cornbread they used to sell. I bought a mini loaf yesterday while hurrying to a class, but about half way through, decided I much prefer my cornbread meat-free. I […]
Spike’s on Thayer Street has two types of napkin dispenser in close proximity. They both dispense the same napkins, but it’s still nice to have options.
By possessing this blog, I’ve been permitted to proclaim a passion for Pinkberry through multiple past postings. Alas, Pinkberry’s presence is limited, and this “Providence” blogger’s propensity for public Pinkberry proclamations is possibly inappropriate. I should probably pay tribute to products purchased in Providence. Perhaps that’s why I promptly produced a providencedailydose post on Juniper, […]
Apple does not, in fact, own the New York Times. For the entire day, however, the Times website has featured an overly prominent Apple advertisement. Much like an earlier Apple ad that appeared on several and tech sites, this ad is comprised of two interacting panels. The side panel feature John Hodgman and Justin Long […]
I was all set to write about this Science Times article (don’t worry, I’ll get around to that later), when this monstrosity was brought to my attention. This article is fairly incoherent, but the gist of it, as far as I can tell, is that astronomers don’t yet have a theory that explains why the […]
As I indicated weeks earlier on this very blog, I spent this year’s Christmas in Florida. Remarkably, I was in Florida again last week, although this time, no blog posts were written.

Ezra Klein points to a recent Slate article singing the praises of the FairTax. The FairTax, would replace our current income tax with a tax on consumption (the purchase of goods or services). It also happens to be supported by presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee. Ezra, like myself, seems skeptical. Unlike myself, Ezra plans to give […]
Most folks who have come into contact with a computer have also played Tetris or some variant thereof, but what about 3D Tetris? Can you claim to have experienced the thrill of arranging four-segment blocks in not two, but three dimensions? Probably not, because it turns out 3D Tetris is both difficult to control, and […]
While I was talking on the phone yesterday morning, someone left me a voicemail “calling to confirm surgery tomorrow”. This was unexpected.
When I googled their number, I discovered the call was from Biron, Roland DDS - Msl Facial & Oral Surgery in Warwick, RI. Even though I called them to tell them they had the […]
As a hip energetic 26 year old, I often have trouble deciding on the best way to spend my Saturday night in New York City. For example, when 11pm rolls around, should I watch Flip This House on A & E or Flip That House on TLC? Tonight I went with Flip That House since […]
