ThePuristS.com Wine and Food Discussion Board: Grazing Crabbily at ‘Sei-ka-tei’ in Sapporo, Japan

shouldn’t have visited the PuristS food/wine forum, now I’m hungry…

Organized my delicious bookmarks to add the tag “forums” to all discussion forum links, man, there are a lot of them… I don’t frequent most of them very often anymore… RSS feed in vB or phpBB2 doesn’t work very well, but recently I am quite active back at Head-Fi and iLounge. I run Carmudgeons so I go there at least once a week…

Mark’s Sysinternals Blog: Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far

What a mess, Sony is evil.

So my full Waterford stemware collection is still in my house in Austin, need some wine glasses for the bottle of 2001 Mondavi Reserve cabernet sauvignon I picked up at Napa… So Amazon is now shipping me 2 pairs of Riedel O wine tumblers for cab/merlot and pinot noir. These glasses look like their high end Vinum line without the stems, and MUCH cheaper, I might even be able to wash them in my dishwasher. 🙂

Sherry and I finally tried out ABC, it was alright, prices a bit high for dim-sum, but was good. They have kickass congee, we waited more than half an hour for them to get a new batch of congee ready, got the one with “fresh frogs”, good shit… 🙂

Saturday night we went to Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge for some tapas and drinks, not bad at all, drinking here is a lot more expensive than Austin, but then Austin is like the cheapest place so that doesn’t mean much. They had hot waitresses in Halloween costumes. 🙂

Jeff Nolan switched from VC to ops, very interesting… and sounded like he’s at MySQL, although he wouldn’t say…

Earlier this year I started feeling a strong urge to do something different. I missed having direct operational control and I missed the sense of accomplishment that comes from successfully executing direct operational control

Creative blames Apple for flash shortage

Samsung/Apple is actually doing Creative a favor …If Creative cannot make as many players … they won?t have to write-off as much unsold inventory later on.
