Posted on June 4, 2014 | Leave a comment

UberBOAT! Boston by Boston Harbor CruisesStarting today and running through June 15, Uber users can request a water taxi from BHC to navigate Boston Harbor. The temporary offering makes me wonder if this is a test or beta run for Uber. Pricing remains competitive with a fee of $10 per person for a one-way ride plus a $1 Uber booking fee; 20% gratuity is automatically added.

Service is available starting today and running through June 15; Monday through Saturday from 6:30 AM – 10 PM and Sunday from 6:30 AM – 8 PM.  Sign up with the promo code UBERBOAT14 and your first two rides are FREE.

Chelsea Handler

Posted on June 3, 2014 | 3 comments

Chelsea HandlerChelsea Handler’s popular show, Chelsea Lately, on E Television will end on Tuesday, August 26th.  I’m  not sure what is next for the author of Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea.  Her show has given a number of comedians an excellent platform, and I really liked her format which is very different from other night time talk shows on television.

I have no idea who will follow Stephen Colbert after he replaces David Letterman on CBS, but I’d love to see her follow Stephen and replace the Craig Ferguson Late Show.

What percentage of Americans have ever…

Posted on June 3, 2014 | 3 comments

Even though I read this article last week, I figured it would be fitting to post it following my weekly “Temptation Tuesday”.  Last week Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight website shared results of what percentage of the population masturbate.

This topic could conceivably cross the line for my pg-13 rated blog, but I figured I’d write about it because I find it strange that this remains a taboo topic considering the data.  I can understand the discomfort one might have if I were a parent talking my child, but this remains a taboo subject for many in society; especially women. nate silver, fivethirtyeight.comI’m not looking for any confessions; how you spend your time is your business. Rather I’m just pointing out the irony of American culture and how strange our views towards sex and sexual pleasure remain even in 2014.

Realm health and fitness tips from Kyle

Posted on June 2, 2014 | 2 comments

Realm health and fitness tips from KyleFarmers Markets make for a good day

I recently took a trip to the local farmer’s market and walked away with a lot more than just groceries. It was great to get outside and walk through the market. My skin was warmed by sunshine and the place smelled of fresh vegetables, roasted nuts, and flowers.  I interacted with vendors and discussed the origin of the foods they were selling, which as we are slowly learning is very important (Grass-fed vs. Corn-fed Beef; Farmed Fish vs Wild-caught Fish).

I was not tempted by microwave dinners or ice cream, but was presented with food as nature intended. I ended up walking away with more and spent less than I do at the grocery store, with this robust feeling of well-being that isn’t possible under fluorescent lights.  Find your local farmer’s market here: Boston Area Farmer’s Markets.

AIDS Walk & 5k Run Boston

Posted on June 2, 2014 | 2 comments

AIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonThe 29th AIDS Walk  & 5k Run Boston took place yesterday, drawing a large crowd probably in part due to the spectacular weather.  At the time I wrote this post details about how many participated and the total amount raised had yet to be announced.  If you have not donated and would like to I’d encourage you to visit the link below.

AAC.ORG/GOTO/IWALK

Feel free to select my photo (Rob Wilson) or any of my colleagues who participated in the AAC social media campaign to raise awareness and fund raise. This event is crucial to raise unrestricted dollars to help fund / support mission-critical programs that aren’t always popular or easy to fund.   Much thanks to the AIDS Action Committee, the many volunteers and those who participated. Below are some photos from all the fun. Thank you to all who posed for Sergio.AIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk BostonAIDS Action Committee, AAC, AIDS Walk Boston

Showtime bringing back Queer As Folk episodes

Posted on June 1, 2014 | 2 comments

Showtime QAFSet your DVRs: In honor of gay pride month, Showtime is bringing back all five seasons of Queer as Folk and the complete six seasons of The L Word and Showtime Anytime beginning this summer. Back-to-back episodes of both series will air weeknights at 8 p.m., starting tomorrow, June 2 through June 30, and then exclusively on Thursday nights from July 3 through Nov. 13.

I remember first hearing about the original series in the U.K. and eagerly awaiting this show after Showtime announced they would produce an American version of the storyline.  One year Sergio and I ended up doing a Boston AIDS Walk & Run with actor Scott Lowell who played the buttoned down, conservative friend, “Ted”. We use to have QAF parties since we were one of the few friends who had Showtime. I remember those years and the series fondly.
