iPhone Fingerprint Scanner for Idiots

Watching Squawk Box yesterday I saw that the new Iphone comes with a fingerprint scanner.

Huh?

People are going to give up their fingerprints, just like that?

I did a little search online to see if there was any outrage over this. It looks like there is none. In fact, it looks like people are all excited about this and how “cool” it is.

First off, nothing about a cell phone is “cool”. Second, you are a straight up idiot to give away your fingerprint information.

Senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Phillip Schiller called it “an innovative way to simply and securely unlock your phone with just the touch of a finger.”

Yeah, because it is so hard to press “on” without getting your (Continue reading…)

The 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach Robbed

I am out of the country for the summer, but I just got the call; The 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach was robbed. Cleaned out. Heisted.

Devastating news, as I am a member of The Gym and love that place more than anything. The stole all the equipment, photos, belts, hell, they even took the ring. It looks like the only thing left is the pull up bar and arm straps for hanging crunches. And the recently moved jump rope rack.

I can’t even imagine who would want all that stuff (except the photos) with all the blood, sweat and Dino’s dogs hair all over the place. Hell, there is some of my blood in that place. And for sure a bunch of my snot and saliva.

I am also amazed how they pulled this off. I mean hell, it is on the (Continue reading…)

Saturday Night Step-By-Step™ in Montreal

Here is my Saturday night Step-By-Step™ for Montreal:

1. Go say what up to the crew at Le Filet. Go for a little grind, get the Huitres Garnies like the Hon Shimeji, huile de truffe, creme d’huitres or Gratin de miso. Thank me later. Finish off with the Hamachi, sesame, sumac and Rilletes de Maquereau, fume, huile citron and toast. (You might want to make a reservation at the bar, which is something I love about Montreal). Get some vino and some cocktails in your system. Alternate opening salvo: Hit up Lemeac or Juni and package with Baldwin, although I like those spots better during the week. Or maybe Pixtos, although I like that place better during the week also.

2. Head over to St. Laurent and get another warm up cocktail at Kamasutra and spit some Game at some dancers (Continue reading…)

Blueprint for a Perfect Thursday Night in Montreal

After 4 months in Montreal, I perfected a Blueprint for a Perfect Thursday Night in Montreal.

Here it is:

1. Go through some Nightlife Preparation.

2. Hit up New City Gas. Like I said before, I am rarely impressed by nightlife venues anymore. New City Gas impressed me. Make sure you get there early, which is something not exactly easy for me to do. This place is mad packed with (Continue reading…)

Nightlife Preparation Routine

People always ask me how I prepare for a night out. Well, it is a complicated step-by-step process now that I have to do every night before I go out.

It takes a while, but you will feel 120% everytime when your roll (and I don’t mean Beans, either).

First things first, I have a good day. I go to the boxing gym or get a good workout on. Then, after getting some work done, I go for a good open ocean swim. This helps clear the head no matter what you did the night before. Then I usually swim some underwater laps in the pool. I typically get a little sunset walk on as well to clear the mind. Or I get a second work out at my boxing gym.

When nighttime rolls around, (Continue reading…)
