the making of a food mythology

Le Chambord at Haachtse Steenweg 10, 1210 Sint-Joost-ten-Node, België (Belgium) just replicated the memories of a dish (seafood linguini) I had at Maggie's in Bayfield, Wisconsin in the summer of 1994 (http://www.maggies-bayfield.com), but which they don't serve anymore (and lost the recipe by the second time I visited, ~4 years later). It's a very beautiful thing (as you might know if you've ever seen that Ratatouille movie and liked it).

Tardiness for Insomniacs

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:33:31 GMT

S and I ordered from Insomnia cookie the other day, and they took an hour and fourty minutes. We thought "What the hey?" but then it turned out they sent the guy out to our apartment on a bicycle ! Makes us feel better: sincere incompetence instead of negligent disregard. The only way to make this story better was if he was using a pogo stick. "I'm sorry I'm so late, but when you delivers cookies with a pogo stick, you gotta be really careful."

A Poem from Perl to VB

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:29:55 GMT

The Symbolic Poem
by Fred Bremmer and Steve Kroese

<> !* ' ' #
^ " ` $$-
!*=@$_
%*<> ~ #4
&[ ]../
|{,,SYSTEM HALTED

How this poem is spoken:

Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH.

Apparently this sequence does make some VB editors crash.
