01 23 10 | Pinkberry Palo Alto Opens, Overheard New Location News

Fro-yo girl here. I'm liking Pinkberry much more now that they added some new toppings, created some new fro-yo flavors and added the unlimited toppings policy. Adding the mini size and the satisfaction guaranteed “if your masterpiece does not inspire chilly bliss let us swirl you a new one" are customer friendly moves too.

I always thought that Stanford Shopping Center would be the perfect location for them. About a year ago, Orange Tree was supposed to open a location there (someone told me they saw a sign, I never saw the sign but it was listed on the Orange Tree website). I'm glad that didn't open because their frozen yogurt just isn't good and not at the level of Stanford Shopping Center (the best outdoor shopping center in the Bay Area).

01 07 10 | That didn’t take long: Pinkberry opens new location … in West Village!

Pinkberry, the West Hollywood frozen yogurt phenomenon that opened in Preston Royal late last year after months of planning, has apparently realized the gays really are a target market. The second Dallas location will be in the West Village. It could be open as early as Valentine’s weekend. So, honey, you’ll have to choose between roses and pink berries.

01 04 10 | Best Things of the 00's

Best Things of the 00's.
10. GMAIL. Google will obviously soon take over the world with Apple, but Gmail seems to have paved the way for its vast international popularity. And who doesn't love a good gchat at work (or gchatting your friends at work while you're home... working on your own creativity).
9. WIKIPEDIA. We've all used as a source for papers, regardless of its credibility. We've also probably all altered articles to have incorrect information or made up our own articles, but let's face it, we probably use it as a verb almost as commonly as we use the word "google".
8. JETBLUE. While it was founded in 1999, it didn't start operations until 2000, and has since changed the standard of how we fly at an affordable price.
7. MARTIN SCORCESE FINALLY GETS AN OSCAR. Okay it should have happened in the 90's. Or the 70's as far as I'm concerned, but it happened and for a decent enough movie to watch repeatedly on HBO.
6. FROZEN YOGURT. Okay so it's been around for awhile but the yogurt craze, spawned by the popular Pinkberry, makes us fat ice cream lovers feel mildly healthy. Hello strawberries combined with fruity pebbles.
5. STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH. Not because it was a good movie, but because the end of the awful trilogy prequel was finally reached.
4. THE 2009 WORLD CHAMPION YANKEES. Because the decade wouldn't be complete without bookend rings.
3. THE iPHONE. Sorry Blackberry, I'm dreaming of a different dessert. I want a gadget. Call me a fetishist or whatever, but I love my iPhone and my complete iLife.
2. TARANTINO STRIKES BACK. Not just one, or two, or even three... BUT FOUR (and yes I'm counting Kill Bill 1 & 2 separately) new Quentin Tarantino movies. There you have it, my inner film school nerd coming out.
1. AVATAR. The greatest way to end a decade is with a film that will forever change the face of how we view cinema (and that took over a decade to be made). James Cameron is still the fucking king of the world.

12 29 09 |  Our Big Picture Debate: Want vs. Need

NEED IT: "But Mom... I NEEEEEEEED IT!"

We really can't tell you how many times (to this very day) we've put aside all sense of dignity and exclaimed this sentence in a public setting. Much to our embarrassment this is probably (definitely) more than true, and our much more mature selves are ashamed of our past doings. Now to rub it in even more, some artistic do-gooders created a new e-store called, Needs for Sale. And no, they're not talking about the "Extra-Large White Cherry Slurpee" (or more recently, the Proenza Schouler PS1 Messenger in Python) kind either.

Needs for Sale was modeled after the first project from artists Christine and Justin's (no last names, like Madonna), called Wants for Sale. This is where we would find ourselves investing in artwork of things like a fully-loaded dish of Pinkberry or a one-way ticket to Vegas, with the full benefit going to our new first name basis friends. However, Wants for Sale, actually presents itself as those heart-wrenchingly sad but true "wants" in the form of kitschy technicolor artwork. The purchase of the art goes towards actual needs of society, such as, $500 for a hand-painted portrait of a microscope donates $500 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and $250 painting of an early-90s-esque army green cell phone goes to the American Red Cross for phone calls home for the troops.
