my new salmon board from neoCategory: birthday
(E:matthew) also got my this awesome silver and wood salmon service from Neo on elmwood. That store has a lot of cool atuff if you are looking for gifts and aren't aure what to get.
I love the look of Silver and wood together. It makes want those fancy eye glasses I didn't buy last year.
The wrapping is so cute. The lighting sucks so its hard to tell but there is a little furry buffalo in it.

Exlusively Alaskan Good Crab Legs Part 2Category: food
As part of my birthday surprises (e:matthew) and (e:terry) headed back down to Exclusively Alaskan Good in Eden (e:paul,53138). Its so amazing to have such a great source of fresh Alaskan sea food close to home.
Its hard to believe but I think we got thicker crab legs than last time (e:paul,53149) and you know they say its the girth, not the length that matters anyways with king crab.
Here they are cooked
They also got some delicious looking salmon, halibut cheeks and elk steaks. I will take a picture of those when I cook them.

Happy Birthday Paul! Hope Beefy Salvatore's was a good time ;-)
How does this Seafood place down in Eden get better quality merchandise? I may have to check them out myself.

These outsize seafood posts of yours sometimes end up in my nightmares in the oddest ways.

Objective C and XCode SuckCategory: programming
First of all my nook color is going to bankrupt me. The ability to have every computer book on one convenient, internet accessible package is overwhelming. Especially when they use such sneaky tactics as sending me an email saying, "Its snowy out, wouldn't you like to get a new book for your nook without having to leave the house."
Anyways, the point of this is that I got an objective C book so that I couldn't finally spend some time on it and it does in fact suck. For me, its simply too verbose and the NS (NextStep), camel case bullshit kills it.
That plus Xcode is so freakin awful. I thought an apple designed IDE would be refreshingly better. Turns out not to be the case. It makes me miss eclipse. Apple seems to be losing it to me anyways. Just look at the non standard interface for the new app store and the new itunes. I think the only reason they are generally successful with design is they cut out features until there are very few things to add to the design. Of course its easy to have a clean interface on something that only has a few options. I guess Xcode is an example of what they do with a larger, complicated application..
Xcode gets to the point where you have ~10 windows all open and even have to drag between them to accomplish stuff. And yes, I can remember all the keyboard shortcuts to bring the different parts I want to the front but its still a cluttered mess.
Enough with Xcode, this was supposed to be about objective C.
Well here is an example of my point about objective C. Several language comparisons of making arrays.
Objective C
NSMutableArray *items = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"One", @"Two", @"Three"];
Javascript
var items = ["One", "Two", "Three"];
PHP
$items = array("One", "Two", "Three");
Perl
@items = ("One", "Two", "Three");
Java
String[] items = {"One", "Two", "Three"};
C#
string[] items = new string[] {"One", "Two", "Three"};
Ruby
items = ['One', 'Two', 'Three']

Thats not fair. Those are string in my example and you are using integers. They all would be small with integers.

Yeah, the superset-of-C syntax craziness is pretty unbearable, and they haven't even allowed garbage collection to be turned on in iOS apps.

How many days do you celebrate your birthday?! If I had fb I could get an alert telling me what day it is. Oh well. When I come in March it will be a giant celebration. Your bday zooey's, and my brother's. Woot.
