This beats everything that happened in 2009.
The Geek Subgenre Social Acceptability Scale
I did the illustrations for another Gizmodo article today. 14 different forms of geeks ranging from cool to super-creepy. Adam Frucci’s writing is really hilarious so have a look!
P.S Here’s two other Gizmodo illustrations I did: “Best Buy” and “Steve Jobs’ House”
I wish that all I did was write things for Dan Meth to illustrate.
How Matsugen makes its soba
If you’re not impressed by the electric grinder and someone HAND CHOPPING these noodles, I don’t know what will impress you. There’s also something very odd about hearing a French guy explain to you the process of making buckwheat noodles.
As far as how Matsugen as a restaurant is, I haven’t been there in a little over a year, but when I last went, it was pretty enjoyable. The soba is obviously very amazing, but the other small plates are a little less so, pretty good but not great. There’s also a very different vibe for the restaurant from when it first opened and when it was somewhat busy and bustling (or as much as it can be in that big ass space), to when I went last year in November or December when it was almost empty and, dare I say, sadder?
This inspired me to make reservations for tomorrow night. That soba dish is only $14! Can’t argue with that.
Not the best, just my favorites. Since everyone else is doing it.

This is nuts. I’m hoping to outdo him when I go to Vegas for work in a month.
