What is a Delmonico Steak?

december 2010
This question is the source of lots of confusion and debate. There are at least nine cuts of beef which are identified as Delmonico, and they are variously "cut from the chuck", "cut from the rib", or "cut from the sirloin". To add to the confusion, some common Delmonico Steaks are boneless while others are bone-in.

In France, exposed brake cables remained popular longer than elsewhere, because French cyclists sometimes like to transport baguettes home from the boulangerie by resting them crosswise across the brake hoods. The cables help hold the loaves in position.

Natasha Schüll at Gel 2008
november 2010
Las Vegas casinos increasingly pay attention to their customers - their likes, dislikes, moods and patterns - in order to create an engaging experience. As Natasha Schull explains, the stated goal of these new designs is "customer extinction" - the moment at which the customer is out of money. This talk, essential viewing for anyone in the design or user experience fields, underlines the neutral nature of customer experience methods: like any tool, they can be used for good or ill.
