this is a really poor substitute to Chalk

I was so looking forward to dinner tonight at Chalk but everything in Cincinnati is closed tonight, if we fall down the apartment steps we stop at Papa John's front door, and it was open.

Qik

Jackie has a new Nokia N95 with this awesome app, Qik. It streams video straight to the web, and also sends a twitter to let everyone know she's online with it. So she fires it up and an instant later she gets a text message, wuts sup? Thats when I say where we were at. I think her head is going to explode with all the possibilities.

My lastest Sigg aquisition

Dan at Park+Vine always gets me the coolest, he's my dealer I guess.
I was going to say the newest in my collection of Sigg.
Is the plural of Sigg, Sigg?
Siggs doesn't sound right.
Siggi?
Siggius?
Does it surprise you English was my worst subject?

They are celebrating 100yrs of Sigg on a newly launched website Sigg100.
Register to win a trip to Hawaii.
Turn the sound down first, I hate websites with embedded sound.

Cincinnati streetcar

I'm preaching to the choir because I'm assuming this blog has no apeal to anyone not interested in the CBD


All the sudden everyone online is all streetcar all the time. Maybe they’ve been emboldened by the Banks news. I for one can’t wait until the streetcar is running but I still think it would be better if it ran past Fountain Square. One more development that I think would be positive is the development of an independent corporation set up ala 3CDC, or even under their umbrella. I've also thought about financing, and why I think we would be better served with a quasi-private corporation in charge, what Wired calls the Future of Business, Free.

I imagine something like during baseball season the cars are total Reds and anyone with a game day ticket rides free. Taste, the various restaurants sponsor different cars and everyone rides free. Oktoberfest, beer sponsors all over the place and that weekend everyone rides free. Riverfest, the cars are all WEBN and everyone rides, yep free. Buy something in the Q, ride home free. Eat on Fountain square, ride home free. You could go on and on. I don’t think there will be any buy-in from hotels because their business model is designed to try and keep customers from leaving. I also like the idea of a surcharge for parking in the CBD that goes to the streetcar. But with the right marketing and some thinking outside the box, the streetcar could will be a huge success.[where: 45202]

I had been thinking of this over the weekend, and then I saw Jackie's video with Brad Thomas talking up the streetcar and also Sean Fisher.

Press Grill

On the way home from Akron, we stopped and had lunch in the Short North, C-Bus at the Press Grill. Not too bad and very inexpensive for a quick lunch. Nice and relaxed place. A few store fronts down Ms. 5chw4r7z was crushed, her favorite coffee place, the Coffee Table was not only closed it was totally gutted to the bare walls.

Big Mike's bachelor party

Ran up to northeast Ohio for my brother's pre-wedding party. Don't know how bad you guys had it Saturday night, but it was a balmy 17° in Cleveland. the weather was cold but the action was hot.

Los 5chw4r7z hermanos


bachelorette parties are definately more organized than ours. These girls got the 1000 point bonus on their scavenger hunt. They never imagined the 5chw4r7z would be wandering around Cleveland that night. Nick Lachey would have only got them 750 points.


What do they have to do with a bachelor party? Not much but they wouldn't leave me alone until I took a picture of them in my hat.

After walking around all night holding cigars, this was a sight for sore eyes.

Thats all for you guys, this isn't that kind of blog.

A very rare picture indeed

Somewhere high in the 5/3 building is a room, and sometime early afternoon an alarm will sound, a bed will tilt up and Suzanne will slide off the bottom and down a steep ramp only to pop out the bottom and drop onto Fountain Square holding a clipboard all George Jetson like.
True story.
Urban legend says she lives on the Square.
