You know, for kids.

I missed the original entry on the Publisher’s Weekly blog; otherwise I would be bellowing “Why was I not informed?” at the top of my lungs.

What am I on about? The Antarctic Express. Think The Polar Express but with shoggoths.

And I’ve had this in the back of my mind as blog fodder for a bit now: “Experiments to Do With Your Baby“, based on the book Experimenting with Babies: 50 Amazing Science Projects You Can Perform on Your Kid. Hmmmm hmmm hmmm. Somebody might get this for Christmas. (Hey, $8 for the Kindle edition?!)

The NYT has awarded four stars to Sushi Nakazawa.

Why do I care? Why should you care?

  1. Four stars is as high as the NYT rating scale goes. The paper of record does not hand out that rating like candy, so this is kind of a big deal in the dining scene.
  2. Sushi Nakazawa is run by Daisuke Nakazawa. If you’ve seen “Jiro Dreams of Sushi“, Mr. Nakazawa is the apprentice sushi chef to Jiro Ono who spends much of the documentary struggling to perfect his tamago. See? Hard work sometimes does pay off.

I haven’t watched a single episode of “Breaking Bad” (it is on my list, though), but I have to admit: I like this hat. It may be a little pricy at $149, but you know, man walks down the street in that hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything.
