Ice Cream Festival 2011

Because Type II Diabetes simply isn't prevalent enough, our annual tradition of attending the Philadelphia Ice Cream Festival is still going strong.

This year's festivities proceeded at a more relaxed pace than that of years prior. No one succumbed to the dangers of lactose overload, and everyone had room for celebratory cheesesteaks afterward.

Building a Hackintosh

My friend and business partner Dave has been in need of a new computer. At work, he uses a passable all-in-one system; at home he only has access to an underpowered laptop. As the CEO of a dynamic cutting-edge web startup, he should undoubtedly be running more becoming hardware. Haim and I endeavored to build him a worthy machine, but there was just one issue:

Dave's a Mac.

I'm a PC.

There was a solution to the conundrum: Hackintosh. A "Hackintosh" is a computer built with standard off-the-shelf "PC" parts that can run Mac OSX. It's a great DIY project for techies who want to make use of Apple's operating system but don't want to buy pricey proprietary hardware.

What does this mean? In the end, I was able to build a machine roughly on par with a $3200 Mac Pro for less than a third of the price. Here's how!

It's In-n-Out Burger. The double-double animal style is a must to order, but I didn't save any room for a shake. It's as good as any of the cheesy tourist trap restaurants surrounding this place on Fisherman's Wharf. I'm not lucky enough to live somewhere that has In-n-Out Burger nearby so I try and work in at least one visit when I hit California, Vegas or Texas.For this location the downside is that it's so popular that you sometimes can't find anywhere to sit and scarf down your tasty meal. And sometimes that popularity can mean an unexpectedly long (for fast food) wait.

I dig Bud's Broiler when at home in New Orleans, but I buy an In and Out Burger when I am way out west. It is basic burger/fries type menu, but it tastes like the cow was recently deceased.

MMM, the burgers were good and the service was fast. Being in Fisherman's Wharf you wanted the seafood but for a burger, this is the place to go
