  • Mike ordered Chicken Fajitas and  a Rita Cointreau Original ‘Rita with Sauza Hornitos tequila.
  • Jeff ordered the Beef Burrito and a Frozen Raspberry Rita with a “floater” on top.
  • We also ordered some tequila wings as an appetizer. BTW: These wings could arguably be the best wings in Boston.
  • Gradon ordered something and got his crunk on too but we can’t remember what it was.

Huge thanks to our editor Brian Schwartz who conquered major power outages and various family members squatting at his house to make this episode possible.

Conversation Topics

  1. Mini Rants – Mike goes a little crazy about people who eat hot dogs and burritos in the movies. He also marvels at Jeff’s George Costanza like parking luck.
  2. Apple’s iPad - Despite the limitations that have been illuminated by many tech writers we are both really excited about the iPad. Are you going to get one? Warning! Do not buy a used iPad. Watch to find out why.
  3. Shopping for Clothes - Despite his frequent use of the word “fabulous” Jeff does not like to shop for clothes. Mike on the other hand is an odd duck in that he loves clothes shopping.
  4. RANT! Inappropriate Use of Interruption Channels - Just because you happen to have someone’s cell phone number or instant messaging account doesn’t mean you have been given permission to use it.

What do you think of our new editing style? We are hugely grateful to have Brian Schwartz joining the NomX3 team as our chief editor. The diner’s perspective footage spliced in with the picture and picture is amazing.

  1. Weird Hobbies or Avocations - Things like ice fishing, horse shoes, and snow camping are just glorified excuses to drink outside.
  2. Auto Tech - What is your favorite automotive technology in modern cars? What option can you not live without? Are you excited about Scott Monty bringing social media to the new Ford lineup?
  3. RANT! Urban Superiority Complex - We gave our city dwelling (or near city dwelling friends Rachel Happe and Eric Andersen) friends like Gradon Tripp a bit of a hard time for their lack of willingness to travel out of the beltway for coolness.

During this Episode NomX3 Ate With a huge number of people. If you were at PodCamp and would like us to add you to this list just leave a comment here or ping us via @NomX3 on Twitter.

Bonus Rant

November 10, 2009

I was on the way into the city today and encountered what I consider to be the biggest flagrant foul of all – someone pushing the button to get the pedestrian light. No, that’s not it. Try to maintain focus.
What burned me wasn’t the energy expended in the frantic button pushing, BUT the unabashed and [...]
