I love Iphone apps and this site features the home screens of some of the best designers, developers and tech writers... oddly interesting to me.

I made some bran muffins this week on request and they turned out pretty good. They made about ten good sized muffins. I kept two out and froze the rest for the coming week's breakfast. I like to defrost them while I am getting ready and smear some peanut butter on them for a fiber and protein filled breakfast on the go. Here's the recipe.
Steven Alan's clothing is pretty simple but it has great lines and fits really well. Refinery has a sneak peek at his spring line and its pretty dreamy.

You can watch the first full episode of HBO's Bored to Death on Fancast. I just watched it and thought it was super charming and shot really well. Worth your 3o mins.

We went to check out the Greenpoint Food Market this weekend. It was its first weekend open and has some potential. The vendors were all sweet and generous with their samples although a bit more variety would have been appreciated. Too many baked goods and kimchee products. The set up was a bit claustrophobic too but it might be good to check out again in the fall. We also went to Flushing Meadows Corona Park this weekend (photo left). It's huge and the site of the 1939 Worlds Fair. Can't wait to go back and explore more of its 1200 acres.
