Dishin’: Shrimp and Sardou at the Waterfront Seafood Grill Seattle | (0)
Last week, Dishin' described how Dulces' Chef Guerrero defeated our childhood’s Chef Boyardee in battle: ravioli. This week, shrimp and eggs get the grown-up treatment at Waterfront Seafood Grill. Recalling our younger days, we remember rejoicing on that rare occasion when someone splurged for Sau-Sea shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were so small that they disappeared amidst the added oyster crackers. And, as a frugal family, four people had to share the three-pack. So imagine our delight with Waterfront’s version. As if the four jumbo prawns and generous portion of Dungeness crab aren’t enough, the cocktail sauce is fantastic—bright with just the ...

Offline Google Docs Access Deployed Stuff | (0)
Offline access to Google Docs is coming, as announced today by Phillip Tucker over at the Google Docs blog. Personally, I’d be a lot more excited if I didn’t just upgrade to Firefox 3, since this is a Google Gears based project (and Gears isn’t yet compatible with that version of Firefox - see my Twitter log for documentation of my Firefox problems). On the upside, though, Gears will ultimately come to FF3 through some form or fashion, and Firefox 2 users can start enjoying offline access themselves very soon - some even today. The migration of accounts with ...

Where to Grab a Good Beer if You’re Headed to Safeco Seattle | (0)
With the start of the MLB season upon us, it's time to head down to Safeco and see the Mariners try and win the AL West (or at least win a game). Before you get in the park, there are plenty of pre-game spots to grab a good beer. Here are some of our favorite watering holes for game day: The Collins Pub - This is easily the #1 place to grab a good beer on the way to the M's game. They rotate beers so often that chances are what's listed on the menu is no longer accurate. A nice ...

The Daily Poll: Is Yahoo Shine Competing with YPN Publishers? Stuff | (0)
Jason Calacanis has an interesting take on Yahoo’s latest launch, an online women’s magazine dubbed “Shine” that we covered earlier today. In Calacanis’ opinion, Shine competes directly with the some of the same web sites that Yahoo partners with in its Yahoo Publisher Network, the company’s competitor to Google AdSense. The summation of his argument: “If I was running a women’s site today I would make a point of puling everything I have off of Yahoo and building a voting block of women’s sites to do the same. If Yahoo wants to go “winner take all” that’s their right, ...

Time Begins at 3:40 This Afternoon Seattle | (0)
Excuse our giant smile, but it's Opening Day!!! The Mariners, behind possible savior Erik Bedard, will get underway this afternoon against Texas. Although the Angels are still the smart pick to win the West, their recent pitching injuries and the M's new rotation have some (including ESPN and the New York Times) picking the Mariners to be spraying champagne on each other come late September. As for predictions by the local writers, Steve Kelley plays Obama to Jerry Brewer's Hillary. Former Seattlest' Seth's Mariner preview on Deadspin. Oh happy day, Richie Sexson back in our lives.
