In Pittsburgh Good luck finding one. Until today. A new Dunkin' Donuts opened in Market Square, which is a block from work. I walk past it every day.The grand opening was pretty grand. People were lined up around the block. In order to stay stocked in donuts, they had a truck baking fresh ones outside. The whole square smelled of fresh-made donuts. The store was selling them...http://t3knomanser.livejournal.com/997479.html Happy Turing Day!- June 24, 2008 Today would be Alan Turing's 96th birthday. Show your respect to the father of modern computer science and savior of England by wrapping a paper tape about your waist for the day!Bonus points if your tape is infinitely long!http://t3knomanser.livejournal.com/996947.html Public Safety Issues in Pittsburgh- June 23, 2008 In 2005, Pittsburgh was unprepared for a zombie outbreak.

The first episode in the arc showed a surprising lack of fanwank. Twitter is useful. Visit me there.http://t3knomanser.livejournal.com/996590.html Teriyaki Duck-Bacon Udon- June 21, 2008 It's been awhile since I've posted a Remy-trademarked recipe, so I think we're about due. This one might sound a little odd, but bear with me. Based on my experiments, when served to a date, spouse, or other willing victim, this will increase your chances of getting laid significantly. The ingredients might be a bit tricky to come by, but this is entirely worth the effort, I swear.Remy's Teriyaki Duck-Bacon Udon - Serves two IngredientComment 8oz of duck baconThis is the hardest bit to get,...http://t3knomanser.livejournal.com/996209.html Worship my Genius- June 19, 2008 I had an idea a moment ago. Bacon sushi! Replace the seaweed with cooked bacon. Fish and rice wrapped in bacon.You're welcome, world. It may not be the cure for cancer, but this is a ten foot stack of awesome in a six foot high room.http://t3knomanser.livejournal.com/996004.html The Gay Gene- June 18, 2008 Yet another study shows some evidence of a biological basis for homosexuality. On one hand, this is obvious. Human beings are constrained by their biology, and so everything done by a human is based in our biology.On the other hand, this is being treated as a political coup. I'm not really sure why. I've always been opposed to what I call "The Biological Excuse", e.g., "You must accept my sexual preference because I have no control over it," is a very weak grounds for social change. I much...http://t3knomanser.livejournal.com/995725.html User Momentum- June 18, 2008 The new version of Firefox is providing an object lesson on user momentum.Momentum is mass velocity. Velocity, as you might recall from high school physics, is a "vector" quantity. That means it has a magnitude and a direction (if you're driving the speed limit, your speed is 55 miles per hour; your velocity is 55 miles per hour due north).User momentum is user-base size (mass) workflow (velocity). Firefox, as an application, has a fairly large user base. This user base is biased towards more.http://t3knomanser.livejournal.com/995493.html |
