I was looking for YouTube footage of the 4th of July parade in Hannibal, Missouri, one of my most memorable 4th of July's ever, when I came across this marvelous effort that worked. Flippy Cat didn't set up the dominoes, but he makes a comment about them. Very cool.

Do you want the lowdown on what's going on in Honduras right now? I know I do! I found a great explanation of the Honduran coup at the Moon blog, ...

This post is the first installment of my culinary travel feature column, "The Accidental Chef Travels". Come join me to discover all that's delicious!
I think the best way to introduce myself is to begin with the basics. I grew up in an unusual family -- part West ...

As a fan of summer, I think I've finally found a way that even I could be happy ringing in winter: Festa de São João. I've just taken part in the festivities in Caruaru, Brazil. Like many festivals in Brazil, it combines a religious side and a pagan side. ...

With a week where we've added a new blogger to the Gadling fold, I didn't want to pass up the chance formally give Stephen Greenwood a hearty welcome. He's going to be dazzling us with posts from his current home in Hong Kong. Tune into his Dim Sum Dialogues.
This has been ...

So you're at home this summer. Your vacation budget is bust. Sure, there are backyard barbeques with friends and family stretching out into summer, but that tropical vacation feels long gone.
Or perhaps, you have never been on a tropical vacation. Perhaps a tropical fruit ...

There's a museum in Ft. Mitchell, Kentucky that is a reminder that if you have a passion about something, collect it. If the Baked Bean Museum of Excellence isn't proof enough, check out the Vent Haven Museum. Across the Ohio River from Cincinnati is collection of ...

I admit it. I can't help it. I love "I Survived a Japanese Game Show." Some may say the show is an insult to intelligence. So be it. Insult away. Last year, I was drawn in by the frivolity, creativity and how wonderful people are when they are out of their element. [Here's ...

Before I moved to Alaska, I assumed that solstice celebrations were for druids and/or hippies, and imagined long-haired folks with crowns of leaves preforming incantations and ceremonies on both the longest and shortest days of the year. While there are no doubt spiritual ...

There are certain events that are purely connected to the place where they are held. The Mermaid Parade at Coney Island in Brooklyn is one of them. Tomorrow, June 20 starting at 2 p.m. is the big event. Since 1983, people have been dressing up in over the top creative ...

Four hundred years ago, when Henry Hudson first saw the river that was named after him, I imagine he felt inspired by its beauty. The river not only captivated Hudson's attention motivating him to take a look-see far up into its reaches, it has also inspired artists to ...

A few years ago, in the audience of the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center watching A Closer Walk, a wonderful documentary about the global struggle caused by AIDS, I felt tuned into something bigger than myself. Reading New York Times film critic Steven Holden's article ...

It's Aloha Friday as they say here on the islands -- and a very special Friday at that! Today marks the beginning of the 62nd annual King Kamehameha Day festivities in Hawaii, so you can count on me enjoying the parade, draping ceremony, fun, and sun that lasts through the ...

Local Hawaiians have plenty to be grateful for. We've got sun, surf, fun, and a cultural history so steeped in legend that sometimes we have to pinch ourselves as a reminder that we live in paradise. Yesterday marked the 62nd annual state holiday that celebrated Hawaii's ...

This past Saturday, I walked out of my brother's apartment building near Stuyvesant Park in Manhattan to discover the 2nd Avenue Street Festival underway. Block after block, 2nd Avenue was closed to traffic and perfect for discovering those items I didn't know I had to have ...
