Since 12:01 a.m., the NYPD has been doing this crazy thing whereby they enforce the law, issuing tickets to drivers using portable electronic devices in one of their regular 24-hour sting operations. And one driver we know has already gotten nailed. The scofflaw, who asked to remain anonymous, was shocked to find that he was being ticketed for what the cop perceived as sending a text message. But he wasn't texting, ociffer!

You may recognize Andy Kindler from Comedy Central, Everybody Loves Raymond, or his recurring correspondences on The David Letterman Show. Or maybe you've read the name in interviews with comedians, specifically the part where comedians talk about Andy.

- Ed Levine has a short round up of the Il Buco annual pig roast; looks like it should be on the calendar next year.

Yes, I have, but I'd rather not say since I won't be able to surprise people and I won't be able to top the last one.

New York Times food columnist Frank Bruni has joined the ranks of the bloggerati with Diner's Journal. Bruni describes the purpose of the new site, which will replace his weekly column of the same name:

This new blog is an attempt to capture and share more of my notes from the field. To provide, in something closer to real time, a sense of what’s being served in the city’s newest, oldest, most delightful and most frustrating restaurants and of how those restaurants are serving it. To flag trends and, less often and more selectively, flog underachievers. To report moments of real significance and incidents that just happened to be interesting. To keep a journal, and to keep the tone of that journal light, casual, accessible.

Ah yes, to flag and to flog. Now that sounds like Bruni-speak. Interestingly, there will be comments, but it looks like they'll be moderated (damn), and there's a related Podcast. Our next question is, will The Bruni Digest be able to keep up? With so much new fodder, we certainly hope so. And our next, next question: Will Amanda Hesser be blogging soon?

Fact: Thunder Road is the greatest song penned by an American songwriter in the last 30 years. This is an unarguable, unassailable, unquestionable truth.

Following in the footsteps of it's parent company, Channel 7 Eyewitness News launched three video podcasts last week which are now available to you for free through iTunes. Current content runs about three minutes in length and features such news worthy content as What's Bugging You - The Pregnant Belly Rub!, Neighborhood Eats, Ice Cream, and Joe Torre announces his reuturn to the Yankees. Thankfully it seems that they are just using segments from the nights shows, instead of entire news casts. When we tried to download the latest episode of Lost, it took over 20 hours for it to show up in their music store. If they follow the same time line, last nights news is history (although news about ice cream is always timely, in our book).
