Mmm good food.
We had a decent meal last night at Saint James Gate. We started out a pound of fresh mussels cooked in white wine, sambucca, tomatoes, basil, fennel and cream. Mmmm, yummy.
I decided on the Beef Tenderloin, yummy grilled tenderloin with a rosemary infused roast garlic wine sauce with some roasted potatoes, and fresh fried vegtables on the side. Damn, good stuff. Jenn decided on the Wild Mushroom Chicken Breast, a grilled and baked chicken breast with a sundried cranberry bread stuffing and a wild mushroom white wine sauce.
Desert rocked though, Jenn had a eggnog cheese cake, and I had this awesome triple layered moose, so rich and creamy. Damn, mix in a couple guinness and some coffee, and it was a wicked meal. I’d almost say it was up to Firlotte.com‘s standards

Romantic and sex relation structure of high school students
I like the funky patterns formed in this figure from a sociology journal paper entitled “Chains of affection: The structure of adolescent romantic and sexual networks.”
One component of the network linked 288 students – more than half of those who were romantically active at the school – in one long chain.
On a side note, I also find it ironic that the man who did the study looks like a pedophile. But thats just my personal opinion.

Submarine hits underwater mountain
I found this today, a little old, but still good.
A few weeks ago the USS San Francisco, struck an uncharted undersea mountain while traveling in the South Pacific at a depth of 500 feet. At the time, apparently, the sub was traveling at almost full speed. One sailor died in the accident, and 20 more were injured. The Navy has released some photos of the San Francisco, now that she’s been hauled into drydock. Wow. (WashPost backgrounder on the accident, and the uncharted mountain. Nice lil’ gif of the ship’s logo)

Jailed for using a nonstandard browser
A Londonder made a tsnuami-relief donation using lynx on a Solaris box. Nice normal day, right? Wrong. The site-operator decided that this “unusual” event in the system log indicated a hack-attempt, and the police broke down the donor’s door and arrested him. From a mailing list:
For donating to a Tsunami appeal using Lynx on Solaris 10. BT [British Telecom] who run
the donation management system misread an access log and saw hmm thats a
non standard browser not identifying it’s type and it’s doing strange
things. Trace that IP. Arrest that hacker.Armed police, a van, a police cell and national news later the police
have gone in SWAT styley and arrested someone having their lunch.Out on bail till next week and preparing to make a lot of very bad PR
for BT and the Police….So just goes to show if you use anything other than Firefox or IE and
you rely on someone else to interogate access logs or IDS logs you too
could be sitting in a paper suit in a cell 😦

A pronounced deficiency in IQ
Oh how I love redneck ebonics. Merriam-Webster online now gives "nu-kyu-lar" as an alternative pronunication of "nuclear." While dictionaries have become more descriptive and less prescriptive over the years, shouldn’t they at least list it as [idiotic variant]?

FYI: Pink/Red Urine isnt just blood
Well, I found out this morning that I have red urine. But no worries kids, its thanks to eating a bottle of beats yesterday. Hah, glad I’m not a paranoid delusional freak, I’d be convinced that I was dying.. I’d so need a course on coping with discoloured urine to deal with that.

Wanna be a hooker?
Rug hooking must be one of the simplest and cost-effective of crafts (basically, cut old clothes into strips, use burlap, insert hook, pull up loop of fabric), and so it.s all the more amazing that it can be used to achieve such cool, painterly and stunning results. If you click on just one link in this post, make it this one, made by a Japanese woman out of her grandmother.s old silk kimonos. I.ve selected just one excellent, comprehensive rug hooking web site, but there.s a lot of resources and information available on the web for this craft if you.re interested in it like The Jennifer is.

Handbag embossed with handgun
The “Guardian Angel” bag is embossed with the outline of a handgun, so it looks like you’re packing heat. The same designed has made a laptop bag with the outlines of groceries embossed into the sides, disguising the computer within as foodstuffs. The bags are sold to women in Rotterdam to assuage fears of muggings.

RAM-stick with an LED ticker
Corsair has shipped a RAM stick with a mini-LED pixelboard built into it. It’s intended to show the temperature of the RAM, but you can use Corsair’s Memory Dashboard to program the memory to display your own personalized greeting (or obnoxious salute). Click here for an image
Type in a message, you can have three messages of up to 23 characters each, click a button, and your message gets sent to some spare bits on the memory. (Where exactly? According to Corsair “the default message is stored in a microcontroller on the DIMM; user programmable messages are stored on the hard drive and loaded in Startup.”) And from then on, that message will scroll across the display like your very own tiny Times Square Zipper…except it won’t be giving you the latest news headlines and sports scores.
