Two new local restaurants and an ice cream place, a trip to the pier, pictures hung in J's room, bookshelves finally put in place and books unpacked…it's like we're moving in or something!

The sky *looks* hazy, but it's astonishingly clear. Local mountains are crystal, I spotted Mt San Jacinto from Torrance, & I could swear I saw the Hollywood sign from *Irvine*.

Planespotting. Was on the wrong side of the building to see Air Force One, but did manage to see a convoy of about 6 helicopters spiraling in to land a few minutes ago.

Gee, I love how these “secure email” services train people to click on links in email and enter personal info on a website in response to the promise of critical financial documentation.
I can’t say I’ll miss [Yahoo Buzz]
I can’t say I’ll miss it. The few times I’ve used it, it felt like I was shouting into a vacuum. IIRC, they didn’t feel it was worth objecting when Google launched their own site called Buzz, so the writing’s been on the wall for quite a while. Hmm, I wonder how the two Buzz’s user bases compare….
Another One Bites The Dust: Yahoo To Kill Buzz On April 21
We knew this was coming, but Yahoo has announced that it will not longer support Yahoo Buzz, its a Digg-like product where users can rank stories from publishers.

You know what I miss about film cameras? The fact that they'd take the picture *when* you hit the button, not a second or two *afterward*.
I think I finally *saw* this commercial.

Ugh. Got the last phone bill for the old apartment and there's *another* fraudulent charge from “ILD Teleservices” for “Comp U Fix.” Looks like I get to spend more time on the phone with AT&T tomorrow. At this rate I half-expect to get billed again *next* month, even though our AT&T account should be closed by then.

Controversial Post on Facebook by Chef
Many of us who have Celiac, or live with those that who do, know the importance of avoiding gluten at all costs. Many times, finding a restaurant or cafe that has a gluten free menu and takes the time to make sure it doesn’t get contaminated is a source of great excitement. And, sometimes, gluten gets in there anyways. This post by a chef on facebook makes me wonder how often it isn’t a mistake…
Not everyone eating gluten-free is following the latest health fad. Many of them REALLY DO have a medical reason. Food poisoning symptoms wouldn’t start in your restaurant either, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t just poison your own customers. I wonder if this guy feeds sugar to diabetics and alcohol to people who are on medication that interacts badly with it?

Being poked in the eye with a baby's finger *is* better than being poked in the eye with a sharp stick, but I still wouldn't recommend it.

So I can change anything about my AT&T service online EXCEPT cancel it. For that, I have to call. And sit on hold. Because they want to be able to talk me out of it. I'm moving to an area where they don't *provide* service. It's gonna be a bit hard to talk me into keeping it.

Now I know why AT&T's website couldn't figure out whether our future address can get U-Verse. The city's phone service is handled by Verizon. (And yes, FIOS is available!) You'd think someone would program it to say, “Sorry, AT&T does not service this area” instead of, “I don't recognize that address. Would you like us to research it and get back to you in 2 weeks?”

I'm working on a remote server that keeps resetting itself to Mountain time. I keep glancing down and thinking, “It can't possibly be *that* late!” You'd think the fact that the sun's still up might be a clue.

Level 2 coffee? Character profiles? Is this a new Coffee-themed RPG?
Level 2 coffee? Character profiles? Is this a new Coffee-themed RPG?
For the record: The back explains that it's roasting levels.
Katie: I can see coffee having strength, constitution, and charisma, but the rest…not so much.
Wayne: roasting levels themselves are a stat right? ;> Actually, how does one measure charisma on coffee? How sane it ends up making you after you drink it? ;p
Katie: I'd think of coffee charisma as being layperson appeal…how friendly it is to the general public's palate. But tea automatically has a better charisma, being CHA.
Wayne: (forehead slap) groooan TEAed off good there
Kelson: That's a measurement of Total Effective Armor, right?
Wayne:totally 🙂
Katie:Yeah, that stat increases steeply over time. Makes a big difference in whether you take one lump or two.
Wayne:ba-lump-dump!
Glenna:now, do you want Charisma to mean attractiveness of a person or how hyper-bunny that person is thus driving the rest of us insane? lol 😀

Recycling tip:If you have to feed the cans and bottles to a machine one at a time, it's meant for people with just a few items, NOT 5 hefty bags or a full cart.
