Skimmed it with my coffee this morning after reading this.

Take that, building.

Very popular in the Torrez household when I was a kid. My mom makes the best, of course.

No shit.
Where I used to work there was a quote on one of the doors from David Ogilvy, "When you advertise fire-extinguishers, open with the fire."
I always liked that quote because it's something often missed when people are trying to explain what they're selling or even just trying to convey. I see this happen the most on web sites for applications that have a strong visual component. I can never understand why someone who wrote an application that does X doesn't have a nice screenshot on the front page showing it do X.
This entry started because Jason pointed me towards a MovableType plug-in called BigPAPI that does something very cool and very visual (allows plug-ins to affect MT's interface), yet there are no screenshots to be found.

Someone please start a sleazy CL job posting blog.

I used to be a boyscout. I feel kind of sad that it didn't change with the times, as it was a good organization and gave me a lot of tools to deal with situations.

I love these products! The illustrations at the bottom of some of the product pages are great. I have no idea how the products work, and I don't care right now. Someday maybe I'll try one out.

I can't think of any friends who are passionate about Windows. Maybe one was pretty excited about C# but that was a few years ago.

Some podcasts that discuss FM
I can't remember if I'd ever brought this up, but I had an idea for desserts at restaurants. It's always so difficult to decide on what dessert to get, and sometimes you don't even want a whole cheesecake or tort, so how about some restaurant serves spoonfuls of dessert?
Imagine it: 50¢ a spoon for cheesecake, apple pie, maybe two apple pies, a cherry pie, some angel food cake with strawberries...

I had a crazy time Googling this info. Lot's of people have "Pop Goes The Weasle" in their neighborhood, we had "Turkey In The Straw"

I can't explain why, but as a technologist I find this terribly fascinating.
I can't decide which is worse: finding parking on Friday night, or finding where you parked on Monday morning.
I'm going to follow Anil's lead and put a call out for something in the Cole Valley/Noe Valley area. Living a block south of Haight has been nice, but if I hear "Yo, bitch, I said 'STEP THE FUCK OFF!'" one more time from this window I'm seriously going to go down there and explain to the gentleman the merits of a respectful, two-way relationship. Or something.
Also: walking + hills = holy fuck.

Here's a nice iTMS and iPod history.
