BLOG HAIATUS

This year has been really busy, and I'm rethinking the way that I spend time with social media.

If you care about what I put online, I recommend you try to find me at these services:

Facebook: Things that I want friends and family to see will go on Facebook.
Google+: I use an Android phone so this is convenient for me to store personal information. I upload my entire photo albums with Picasa. I "check-in" to keep track of how often I make it to the gym, and where I go with the hiking club. I use +1's instead of bookmarks. Search for me here if you want inconsequential information about my life.

Steve Jobs vs. Dennis Ritchie

I stole this from a Facebook post by Sviet:



Without Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) we would have:
No iProducts
No over expensive laptops

Without Dennis Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – October 12, 2011) we would have:
No Windows
No Unix
No C
No Programs
A large setback in computing
No Generic-text Languages.
We would all read in Binary..

They died in the same year and the same month but it seems only few notice the death of Dennis Ritchie compared to Steve Jobs.

WRONG WORSHIP

GREAT SNO CONES OF AMERICA #1: The John Deere

The John Deere Sno Cone is available at Jerry's Sno Cones in Memphis, Tennessee. I can't really describe the taste, is didn't seem to be lemon and lime; however, it is the best tractor themed sno cone that I have ever tried.

Moreover, it is one of the only times that I have had to wait in line for a sno cone.

NAMES OF THE ORIENT: MONEY HO

This lady is a secretary in Hong Kong. This is her real name. The existence of her name gives credibility to every female character that Ian Fleming ever conceived.

Whale Bacon from Apita

I finally tried whale. I found it in bacon format in my local Apita. It left an oily residue of fat on my tongue. I'm pretty sure that you could imitate it, if you mixed a bottle of liquid smoke in with a bucket of Crisco.

I probably won't make a habit of eating it. I hope this makes the environmentalists happy.
