Hello readers,

As some of you may have heard, fraud charges against Punxsutawney Phil for his incorrect prediction of Spring have been dropped. He’s being let off the hook as it turns out there was a communications problem between Phil and his handler, which isn’t hard to believe since Phil is a groundhog and his handler is a human. Spring wasn’t exactly rolling in like a lion, but this weekend, I saw a sure sign: Beansie’s bus has returned to Battery Park.

Beansie’s bus has been operating in Battery Park every year in some form since the ’40s serving up just what you’d expect exactly how you want it…burgers, handmade fries, Michigans and creemees from morning til’ night, April to October. I sat in the freezing cold with hot food and my kids and it was great. The one drawback is that I can see this oasis of greasy hot goodness from my living room window.

This week we welcome back an old tech to our ranks, Mikhael Cohen. We are happy to have him back on a bench and writing for us. We also talk about some features of OS X and speculate on the next big thing.

Thanks for reading,

Liam
