I learned from a colleague today that if you add the last two numbers of the year you were born plus the age you will be turning in 2011, the result is interesting. Give it a try!

The craftsmanship of knives has intrigued me since I was a kid. Whether playing in the streets or away at camp, the feeling of having a pocket knife always provides a voyeuristic feeling of safety.

These knives on the other hand, provide beauty and function. Enjoy!

The sixth largest snowstorm in New York history buried the streets in four-foot drifts, brought transit to a halt and spread a strange and wonderful hush over the city. The Blizzard of 2010 dumped between 18 and 24 inches of snow – with 29 inches reported in parts of Staten Island – and winds gusts up to 60 mph. It was a blast roaming around taking photos of the city.

The Bentley Boys were a group of wealthy British motorists who drove Bentley sports cars to victory in the 1920s and kept the marque’s reputation for high performance alive. In 1925, as the marque foundered, Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato bought the company, leading to the creation of the famous supercharged Bentley Blower car. I’m not in the market for a new Bentley, but I am always looking for a new pair of goggles.
