Brent Mori
You see him a lot on Narita - SFO United flights. In coach. Ow!
Kame Design
I throw out "Shuriken Boy" as a cute mascot name at work, and boom!
It turns into an Adobe font.
This guy can do that.
Downsize This!
Speaking of MBA must-reads, here's another one. Author and filmmaker Michael Moore (of
the "Roger and Me" and "TV Nation" fame) has got another film coming
out in 1998, called "The Big One".
Jon Carroll
A perfectly great columnist in a perfectly awful newspaper. My daily favorite.
Cheap Eats
Dan Leone writes the most excellent Cheap Eats column in the San Francisco Bay
Guardian, searching for that elusive price-volume-quality balance. A true benchmark for
every food writer, if only for his disdain for overpriced Vietnamese food on Valencia St.
Zagat Survey
Not a bad place to start.
Lalime's Restaurant
My perennial neighborhood favorite, even if I now live in Oakland. I'll have to have a
word with them about the spectacularly bad food and service at their Haas School outpost
of Jimmy Beans, though.
Fabulous stuff! "Iron Chef" is the English title of an ever-popular Japanese TV show, which appears to have developed quite a cult following here in the U.S. (Currently showing in SF, LA, and NY areas.) Basically, two chefs battle each other in an elaborate 60-minute cookoff, complete with Edwardian garb, play-by-play commentary, lots of smoke machines, and tons of foie gras. In the SF Bay Area, you can catch it Saturday nights 8pm-9pm on channel 26. Irrelevant and grossly over-produced, it truly is a television gem.
The English subtitle has sadly disappeared, but the Food Network is rumored to be picking up the show. Dubbed. (Sigh.)
Huy Fong Foods
The company name doesn't ring a bell? How about "the maker of the ubiquitous red
hot sauce that comes in those giant, plastic bottles?" Their flagship sriracha sauce
also happens to be the standard condiment for spicy tuna rolls at most sushi joints. A
must for every kitchen!

What was your poison during your formative years? Asteroids? Defender? Ms. Pac-Man? The code for all of those games, and more, have been adapted to run on
your Pentium and PowerPC machines. There are also sites that specialize in Atari VCS/2600
games. Fun!
The MIT List of Radio Stations on the Net
They have a full international list of "bitcasters," or radio stations that
simulcast on the Internet. Listen to Top 40 music as you would in Morocco!
