Pizza Paradiso is my all time favorite neapolitan pizza, beer bar, and restaurant. If ever find yourself in Washington DC, make a point of stopping in.

The owner and chef RuthGresser has posted a 17 part video series on how she makes her pizza’s!

Awesome, I can’t wait to try my hand at making a pie. Baltimore has plenty of Italian deli’s that can be utilized to skip the laborious dough making process. We buy our pizza dough and other ingredients from Di Pasquale’s in Highlandtown and when we are feeling lazy stay and have a neapolitan pizza from their brick oven.

Kill your television folks! Adbust your counterculture!

Bloggers at one of the major annual electronics conferences used a tv-b-gone to power off electronics used by presenters. What ~hilarious pranksters~ jerks.

I grabbed 10 Shmoocon tickets this year, and that was forgetting two people.

Last year our group was able to upgrade to a suite. We’ll be trying some smooth William Shatner moves to repeat the upgrade this year.

UPDATE: We waited too long to get hotel reservations and sure enough, the entire Marriott in Woodley Park is booked. We ended up getting rooms at the Washington Marriott, which is at 22nd and M St. NW. After SANS at the Woodley Marriott for a week last month I could use the upgrade / change of neighborhood.
