You can tell by the way I use my walk I’m a woman’s man: No time to talk.

Masaharu Morimoto polishes his own rice for sushi. He says that polished rice loses flavor when it is stored in bulk. Watching him prepare the rice is a zen like thing. I really want to go to his restaurant.

Even though the commute from San Fran to San Jose and Pleasanton is brutal, moving here from Seattle is one of the best decisions I’ve made in the last 10 years.

Pacific Heights is perhaps the perfect neighborhood.

Off to see THAT site!!

Also, “Confirm Navigation. Are you sure you want to leave this page?” windows annoy the shit out of me.

Sometimes the only answer is bacon. Regardless of the question.

Did my taxes tonight. As has been the case for several years, my refund is negligible. That $17 will go far.

$17 can buy many peanuts!

Not THAT many when you factor in the cost of the beer.

When Viruses Infect Worms - Slashdot

An anonymous reader writes "Bitdefender reports that there exist viruses which, when they encounter other viruses, will merge and combine effects so that they create a new virus. 'A virus infects executable files; and a worm is an executable file. If...

This is awesome. Sort of “self evolution of computer malware” thing.

I posted this on another forum I’m on:

"I have probably learned more maths and statistics in the past week reading about Artificial Intelligence, than I did throughout my entire secondary schooling.

Shouldn’t they be telling kids, “This how you make games where man with nailgun shoot other mans” rather than bullshitting on about nothing."

And someone responded with this:

“When I used to tutor web stuff there was this campus rule of no games in class. In my classes I changed that rule to no games in class that the class itself did not make. All they need is the right motivation and it’s amazing what kids can accomplish.”

I thought that was pretty cool. But teachers/tutors who are like that almost always end up in a “real” job because the schools can’t afford to keep them.

What a terrific idea…

I wish people would stop ruining the Superbowl commercials. I realize being upset about spoilers for commercials is lame but we are gonna see them in 3 days…can’t you wait?

Good grief people, it’s after 11pm on a Thursday night. The four year old needs to be in bed, not running around.

The Super Bowl is gay.

It’s pretty cool when you realize Google Earth has an updated image for your area. It’s not cool when you realize some other areas you are interested in are still years out of date.

There are two phantom pages. It’s confusing.
