Google Maps
Category: maps
I was watching a couple minutes of the Geraldo show about sex offenders that escaped from New Orleans. I noticed that in the computer screen at the police station they were using google maps to track them.

Jimmy Macs
Category: food
As part of my gain weight plan, I went to Jimmy Mac's with Katie tonight to eat one of their death inducing bacon cheeseburgers. Once again we were the only diners in the place. I don't understand why this place is failing. Now I know that it is a Monday night but it seems really strange. Katie thinks that it is because it looks too fancy on the outside. (e:terry) says it is because their sandwiches cost $1.00 too much at $8.50. I honetsly thing that the price is not bad considering that it is a 3/4lb burger and you get an insane amount of giant fries and a pickle. For that much food you would spend the same at Wendy's.

Katie seemed pretty excited that (e:matthew) has awaiting list of 12 kids for the day care center they plan on opening.

Interview Process
Category: work
So I had the interview at Roswell today. I think it was very successful. The job sounds fun and challenging in a good way and it's all about reducing paper in the workflow, which I am all about. I am so into web application development. Especially since AJAX makes the web so much more fun to work with.

I really think that soon, most applications will move toward web-based solutions. It would be cool to make a web based operating system. Maybe next year, haha. Wednesday night I am teaching xmlHTTP with Sherbert 1.0. I have a couple fixes to make before class but I think it will be a great introduction to AJAX.

One of the guys who interviewed me and who would also be my prospective boss is the husband of a childhood friend who I haven't talked to in a long time. So even if I don't get the job I at least get a chance to reconnect with an old friend, who I haven't seen in about four years. Guess who it is (e:iriesara), it's Chrissy Galla.

On another note, (e:lilho) cut my hair last night for the interview and about an hour before it was about to begin she calls to ask what I am wearing. I told her brown pin stripe pants, a sweater and a suit and she said, "You are never going to get the job without a suit." Nothing like getting totally stressed o ut just before you leave. I think it worked out ok without one. Maybe with this job I could afford to finally buy a nice suit!

Glad the interview went well. I am hoping you will be able to buy that nice suit very soon! Good Luck!!!

I think I knew that Del worked for Roswell - She mentioned that to me when I saw her in August. Anyway, I bet it's in the bag now!

Latinas
Category: food
Yesterday I needed shrimp to make pad thai before the party and I didn't want to drive all the way to Wegman's. I decided to check out Latina's the new grocery store that is where quality used to be by North and Elmwood. It has pretty much everythign you need at a grocery store although it is no Wegmans. It reminds me of the grocery stores throughout the rest of the country. The prices seemed reasonable too.

It was yummy and about 1000 calories which fits nicely into my gain weight plan.

(e:flacidness) dances eternally on the internet.
