Canned Potatoes
Category: food

Who is so lazy that potatoes are too difficult to cook? I guess they last longer but, seriously?

Think it is more of a not peeling them thing? But that being said some things (from what I have heard) are made to cook with the skin still on and some with the skin off so.........................

The same people who buy cut up vegetables wrapped in plastic and squashed on to a styrofoam tray?

Blue fin on Elmwood, soft shell crab, yum!
Category: food

Went to lunch at Blue Fin on elmwood with (e:samathon86) and (e:enknot).

I swear it gets better everytime I go and that says a lot because I really liked it from the first visit.

I usually get saba and toro sashimi with a side of fried rice or lo neon but all of the entrees I have seen and tried are so awesome that it's hard to keep getting that.

For example, (e:enknot) got the softshell crab. Check out how awesome it looks.

It actually was not greasy at all. The glimmer shine is a chilli sweet and sour sauce.

Hmm.. that thing is swimming in oil. Maybe it is all tasty because they deep fry everything.

lo neon? sounds toxic

Moto Attrix Benchmark
Category: mobile

I was really impressed with the motor attrix benchmarks.

paul - 02/26/11 21:18
The app is called quadrant benchmark and it measures processor speed, GPU, floating point, etc not network speed.

tinypliny - 02/26/11 21:15
What is this exactly? What does it measure? Doesn't speed over net depend upon your net connection alone?

Bowling at kenmore lanes
Category: games

Last night I was supposed to go bowling with terry and friends but I misheard which lanes. Apparently, I was supposed to go to Classic Lanes for disco bowling night but I understood Kenmore Lanes and I directed half the party there. So (e:samathon) won with the high score of like 153.

Hadn't been there in years, since like 93 when I used to go there to play gauntlet.

I found a nice pink ball to use but I only bowled a high of 119.

(e:keithT) dressed the part. I wish there was more light in the pic.

His bowling ball even coordinated - you can see the edge of it in the shot of (e:paul)'s pink ball.

tinypliny - 02/26/11 00:06
Bowling chic...Love the shoes and (e:Keith)'s getup.

Matthew's phone - Matthew's Journal
Category: mobile

This screen is what sold it for me. Frankly, I am a bit jealous.

tinypliny - 02/24/11 22:56
It actually resembles the Samsung Nexus S a lot. I kind of like the solid feel of the Nexus one.... of course a bigger screen would be awesome. At some point, I will get a tablet that runs on Chrome OS and accepts Stylus input.
