Olivier van Themsche, Planner
Fashionable scenesters like the model Hanne Gaby Odiele and the jewelry designer Waris Ahluwalia wandered the halls, checking out two dozen classrooms that had been transformed. In one, the restaurateur Serge Becker held a dance hall class with students in Jamaican uniforms. In another, the streetwear kings behind aNYthing installed a working skateboard ramp, while blond socialites in little white dresses looked on. Orchestrating it all, wearing a blazer and white V-neck, was Olivier van Themsche, a former night life hot shot from Paris, who left France to make his mark in New York as an entrepreneur. “Life was really, really easy for me in Paris,” said Mr. van Themsche, 35, whose streaks of gray hair add a touch of gravitas to his otherwise lighthearted demeanor. “But I needed something more.”
Why Do 15,000 People Care About a Missing Cat At JFK? One Word: Facebook.
By Guest Post 10/18/11 10:16am Share this: The story of Jack the Cat, lost by American Airlines baggage handlers at JFK International Airport , continues to captivate public attention six weeks later –as evidenced mostly by tweeting, clicking the Like button on Facebook and commenting on Facebook. This is a guest post by a Delaware-based “Friend of Jack,” Andrea Baumann , who writes about why she felt moved to join the 15,000 or so fans of “ Jack The Cat is Lost in AA Baggage at JFK .”As we’ve mentioned before , having an awesome 404 Page is a source of pride among startups. From the Twitter Fail Whale, to the Google Fail Whale (of course) to the Digg Fail Ox to Blippy’s Fail Double Rainbows you have to admit that these things freaking make your day. Social gaming startup EightBit.me (which has yet to launch whatever its planning on doing with its armies of 8-bit Twitter avatars ) has moved a step beyond fail animals and memes, to yes, a Fail Nintendo Game Cartridge, above.

Playboy Magazine is on magazine racks, on the Web, on iPad , and now it's also on a hard drive . The iconic publication, which has struggled a bit as the world goes increasingly digital, is offering every issue of Playboy, from 1953 to 2010, on a 250-GB drive described as small enough to fit "inside a briefcase or jacket pocket." "Why would you let more than 650 of your favorite Playmates celebrate the holidays in a damp garage, stashed under your bed or crowded together in the basement, when you can bring them all together beneath the mistletoe this year?" Playboy said in a statement. The USB hard drive sells for about $300 and has more than 650 issues loaded on the device. The hard drive also has 200 GB worth of free space for those looking to save other files alongside the digital archive.

While it is my understanding that playing with the actual Jon Stewart is not safe for children over four years of age, it appears that playing with his Star Wars action figure is just fine. This amazing action figure, made specifically for Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, was created for presenter Jon Stewart by George Lucas. Needless to say this is not part of canon and is not for sale. The figure comes with two heads, one with a goatee and one without, and Stewart looks surprisingly virile in his while battle dress. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Lucasfilm had a custom Stormtrooper system? You send in a picture of your head, they scan it onto a 3D model, and then print it out?
Your intrepid reporter invented "The Jetsetter," a consciously pretentious salmon burger on brioche topped with a melange of Brussels sprouts, gruyere cheese, hummus, and lettuce. It costs a total of $6, which is expensive as far as burgers go overall but not too bad by New York standards. It was, in all honesty, extremely tasty.
