ReadExpress.com: New Washington D.C. local blog, from the Washington Post's free daily paper, edited by former DCist editor Mike Grass.

Just when I think life on my one-block stretch of Rivington Street can't get more horrific, Fat Baby drops this. (N.B. last photo taken before my Olympus 200, after four years of service, finally shit the bed. How appropriate.)

Two Flickr sets: dining at Blue Hill at Stone Barns half an hour north of NYC with MOP (above, with chickens), and a Langone-inspired trek to Camden Yards (that later made Soxaholix).

After having concluded that if I read one more thing on one more food blog about the arrival of ramps onto the spring plate, I would strike out for the fjords, comes this: "I have danced with the wild foraged foods of early spring, always excited by the possibility and always disappointed with the reality. Ramps and fiddleheads are like promising dates that end up making your ex look terrific." Amen. [via, uh, a food blog]

Fleshbot Goes Wide | 06:28 PM
2006_04_fleshwide.jpg

After a mere 13 months of development, a new Fleshbot design launched this afternoon. Though initially the template looks identical to that of Valleywag and the new Defamer, there's some pretty cool code hidden underneath. Play with the size of your browser, and on certain posts, the image expands and contracts. Which means it looks great for people on small screens—and glorious for those on widescreens. As such, we're calling this look Gawker Widescreen. Expect it to roll out across all the Gawker sites no later than May 2007.

2006_04_janejacobssm.jpgJane Jacobs, 1916-2006. Said so well:
She was right about everything, of course—why it's good to leave keys with a shopkeeper, why it's bad to knock down SoHo for a highway (even if that highway might have held above it a great Paul Rudolph masterpiece)—and in the best way: simple and direct, because she could be, because the rhetoric of her day (cue ominous parallelism...) had gone so far awry that the very act of exercising common sense was radical. We're there again, folks. This time without our Jane.

The continuing adventure that is the Meatpacking District led us to the opening night party at Buddha Bar on Little West 12th last night. Verdict: never again. Fully expecting Buddha to mete out punishment for this debacle a la Bamiyan.

Deadspin: Scoreboard Races, American League. I have heard guys in the bleachers say this exact phrase: “there is no fucking way the B can beat the D.” Prompting the response “I know, these scoreboard races are full of shit.”

2006_04_dressler-thumbsm.jpgAlso from Saturday night: hit new South Williamsburg restaurant Dressler with Ken, Michelle, Jordan, and Christina. Despite the deluge, totally fantastic—decor done perfectly. (Related: just a great neighborhood, too, and one that I'm happy to have more excuses to visit.)

Actual conversation from Saturday night loft party in Tribeca:
Woman: So... buy side or sell side?
Me: Would you believe... both?
