If there was ever a luxury beer made for food pairing, my South African buddy Rui created it with Collective Sao Gabriel. And damn, they did such an incredible job with packaging. Wonder how it tastes? Stay tuned.

My friend Eric from HTC popped by my office the other day with a demo unit of the new HD2– I have to say it was pretty impressive. I’m not a huge fan of Windows Mobile but they did a very nice job rebuilding the key components of the OS (with their multi-touch sense project) for this specific device. Where they really shine through as a company though is in the construction of the physical device– it’s so good. If they keep up developing products like this they’ll be on people’s radar in a much bigger way very soon.

I wish I was in London next week to check out the Frieze Art Fair. If you’re there, pop by Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin’s booth (F11) at Regent’s Park in London. The opening reception is Wednesday 14 October, 2009 15 – 18 October, 11am – 7pm.
