Bachelor Chow

Futurama often featured advertisements for a product called "Bachelor Chow". I always liked the title and longed for the day when I could deem something my personal "Bachelor Chow".
Well, gentle reader(s), that day has arrived. The answer was always there, but I somehow missed it.
Bachelor Chow is made and sold by the wonderful generous souls at Boston Market.
Seriously - how great is the BoMark? (thanks )
I've been going there somewhat regularly in the past month or so (as life has gotten busier) and I am constantly impressed with the quality of the food, the speed of service, and the fact that nobody cares if I'm eating alone.
It's as if I'm eating at my mother's house, except she's learned how to make a decent order of mashed potatoes and learned that one can steam vegetables and serve them without any sauce whatsoever. And I get all the leftovers.
So say what you will, but I'll keep supporting the big bad food service industry. Maybe I'll be the BoMark's Jared (nearly 30lbs since June. Not that you can really tell.), but who knows?

What a post

This post is a fantastic bit of commentary about the power of New Media, specifically with regards to a recent tragedy in the news.
The poster is the co-creator of the amazing Firefox web browser, and he's only 21. He puts me to shame.

Go here. Do this.

Light a candle. Fight AIDS.

Don't Read The Ruins!

I recently read The Ruins, by Scott Smith. It's something of a horror-ish suspense-ish novel. I was drawn to it because Smith wrote A Simple Plan, which is a favorite of mine. A Simple Plan was riveting, The Ruins kinda sucks.
I'd write more about why, but I don't want to give away details for people who are dead set on reading it, but I'd recommend readin A Simple Plan again instead.

Got the strangest cold call today

The woman was from a company that specialized in "Document Concept Management".
After she said "Document Concept Management" my eyes kinda glazed over and I don't remember much of the three minutes that followed.

It's always a shock...

To see people you sorta kinda know appear where you aren't expecting them. Like, say, in a pull quote on a website. Well, at least and I know we can trust these smart Swedes.
The guy I saw the One Man Star Wars has approved of these developers...

For people waiting for the Runway finale.....

go here and read this guy's blog recaps of the Runway episodes. Each one is a delight. I particularly like his little bits of artistic inspiration...
I'm still laughing about a porridge box he mocked up.
Read read read.
(and curse my friend CC for holding out on me with this until now.)
