Today we got an international addition to our Starbucks roster from Blair, who’s in Spain.

Today’s Starbucks Alter Ego comes from Rachel, who happened to find herself in line at Starbucks behind another Rachel. “God bless a witty barista,” she writes,  after reading his strategy for differentiating between the two of them on the side of her cup.

My name is in a somewhat disturbing headline: More Reasons to Leave New York: Pat Kiernan, Insomnia and the Pencil-In. But Howard Jordon Jr., Huffington Post blogger and author of “101 Reasons to Leave New York,” doesn’t have it in for me—he actually has quite a few nice things to say.

Our Starbucks Alter Ego of the day comes from Luge Pravda this morning, who sent me this photo via Twitter. He writes: “I’m used to my name being misspelt, but this one takes some beating, 3 letters in wrong place.” The bright side: At least they got all the right letters in there, despite their order.

I’ve been writing about it for two months. Last night was the moment of truth. Here’s the video of my “Celebrity Skate” perofrmance for Ice Theatre of New York.

Normally I enjoy New York Rangers coach John Tortorella’s gruff but unfiltered post-game comments. But last night’s question and answer session was just silly.

This had escaped my attention until now. Swiss Chalet, the Canadian quick-service chicken restaurant, produces a cable channel that similar to the televised Yule Log. It is all rotisserie chicken, all day. There are no cooking shows or celebrity chefs—just chickens roasting, day in, day out.

I’m very excited by the fact that I have a New Yorker caricature cartoon drawn in my likeness. It’s in the May 21st issue, in an article about my recurring role as…myself in several films, including the new “Avengers.”

How many megapixels does your camera have? Electro-L, a Russian weather satellite, was able to snap a very impressive photo of the Earth in one single shot. This massive 121 megapixel image is one of the rare instances we get to see an original picture of our planet. Most of the views we see are stitched together from several pictures.VIDEO
