Things that cannot be done
I have been trying to use my iPhone for more publishing scenarios, but the limitations are bad for even the simplest things on a laptop: most tools don’t provide formatting options. Like a bullet lost in the WordPress app I’m using to write and publish this. Hence my astrick use. lack of spell check. I…

The American way, she said, was simple. “There are two rights essential to freedom: private property and gun ownership.” Such thoughts find fertile ground in Texas. This state has always had a swaggering, independent streak and a dislike for too many laws. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/feb/28/tea-party-debra-medina-texas

If things go so badly that the S&P 500 becomes permanently worthless, I have a hard time believing that the people who own gold will rule the world. I think it’s more likely that the people who own steel that is conveniently shaped like guns will control everything, including all of the shiny rocks. At…

D K Sushi and Seoul Asian Food Market – A Brief Review
DK’s is a neighborhood sushi bar – a few blocks from my house – if that concept even makes sense. There’s tables inside a small Asian market, and you walk up to the beer fridge to select your beer and sake. The sushi is delicious and affordable, and it’s a casual place. The same sushi…

Kim’s morning iPhone routine – Austin’s Very Own #48

The last week of January
This month started off with my birthday, as it does every year. Kim was kind enough to throw me a surprise party – the second she’s done – and many people were kind enough to come. Some even brought gifts, one of which I quickly finished off, mostly on the night of the party with…

Lost on a Pacific Resort Island, Saved by HEB
In this dream, I was traveling with a group of people, including Kim. In one leg of our travel, someone planned a detour or a plane crash which landed us on Maui. We were on the beach of Maui, and not knowing the people too well, I split off from them. This island wasn’t really…

“I’m in your hands”
It’s hard to get good customer service, but it’s hard to be comfortable expecting it. On a recent Robert Brook episode he complains at length about the lack of old school customer service in London book stores: at the grand old Foyles in London. At least, he makes it sound as if it had been…

My Work is infecting my dreams
Had a strange dream Monday night where I was in some largish, darkly-lit meeting room (almost like the business casual equivalent of an opium lounge conference room) with Brandon Whichard eating dried edamame. A continually morphing character of Steve Mills/Sam Palmisano came into the room. Brandon and he started talking about programming in Java, as…

Notes from No Maps for these Territories
Last night I watched No Maps for these Territories which can get seriously embarrassing to watch in front of your spouse (who didn’t faun over the cyberpunk as kid) at times. You know, like, “too heavy, man” and “what are you watching?” sort of stuff. Esp. when Bono starts reading. Bono! It’s essentially a bunch…

Notebooks from dime novels
Notebooks from old books, originally uploaded by cote. Check out these blank books made with covers of old, lurid and cheesy paperbacks. I spotted these at the Blue Genie Christmas Bazaar this year in Austin. As the little note next to them said, this is an example of upcycling, or making something new out of…

Frank – A Hot Dog Review
At Frank, it’s hot-dog gimmicks and bacon galore, but they’re good eating at not too high of a cost. We have a weird mixture of “hand crafted”/local food and a love of fast-food here in Austin resulting in gourmet food from trailers, burger battles, and now hot-dogs. The “Artisan” hot-dogs are fun and tasty –…
