I'm super excited. I'll be in Portland, OR from 5/26 to 6/5.
The last few days of the trip are to attend the Open Source Bridge Conference, which just looks completely awesome.
Very happy and this will be the first real vacation, non-family, long distance, etc, I've had in a really long time.
(e:James) is going to tag along too, so we'll hopefully paint the town red. James says that the town has the highest per-capita rate of both strippers and micro-breweries in the country, so we should have a lot of fun ^_^

How do they get their croutons so nice-looking? Saute them in butter?

I am split between getting this as a mobile PDF reader for my library or waiting for the Chrome OS netbook/tablet that is just around the corner (end of summer).

Yup, so far so good. I'm typing this comment on it. Basically it can do everything I want out of a computer, except for developing software.
Email and other communication apps work great, games are fun. Web browser is perfect.
Keyboard is a bit to get used to but works well if you trust the auto-correct. Already typing fairly fast on it.
Works great as a an ebook reader. Definitely heavier than a paper back though.
I am very happy with it.

Greasy Honky PieCategory: food
GREASY HONKY PIE
You will need the following:
- ground beef, maybe half a kilo? ish?
- family size box of mac & cheese
- a packet of taco seasonings, maybe two
- tater tots
- mashed potato, preferably left over from like 3 days ago
- delicious shredded cheese product of your choice
- casserole dish at least an inch or so deep
- an oven (you'd think this was obvious, right? guess again.)
01. bake tater tots on a baking sheet until crunchy as all hell
02. make entire box of mac & cheese
03. stir-fry the ground beef in the greasy frying substance of your choice
04. mix in the taco seasoning
05. lightly butter casserole dish, and line it with tater tots. LIKE A DELICIOUS PIE CRUST OF TATERY AWESOMENESS
06. mix the mac & cheese up with the taco-y beef. feel free to do this in a giant bowl, using your hands. hungrily devour enormous handfuls when no one is looking. share it with the doggy and then feel guilty for not washing your hands after. >_>
07. dump it in your tater pie crust
07a. if you're using a really deep casserole dish, you can put in a second layer of tots before adding the rest of the beefyroni.
08. smear mashed potatos on top in a shepherd's pie-esque manner
09. put it in the oven at like, 350 or something, til the mash on top gets crusty
10. dump a fuckton of grated cheese on top and put it back in the oven til the cheese is bubbly
11. NOM NOM NOM. try not to burn your mouth on eebil molten cheese, the napalm of the food world. enjoy with a sixer of xibeca or san miguel, or the incredibly cheap local beer of your choice.
