While enjoying a breakfast of vegetarian sausage, I noticed on the ketchup bottle the following words “GLUTEN FREE“. I’m pretty sure that the combination of tomato paste, vinegar, and sugar would be gluten free, or whomever is making the ketchup is doing it wrong. That got me thinking about these little food labels that have [...]

More with the surveys, and being cranky about books

Posted by craig  Published in Rants

Last time I was in Borders, I got a request to take a survey. I just filled it out. At least this survey has the decency to let me put in my remarks, which I’ll share with you: I’d appreciate it if the store would give equal shelf time to the areas of science and [...]

Kidney Stone: The Voyage Home

Posted by craig  Published in A day in the life

After consulting my doctor, we decided that having surgery to remove the stones was pretty pointless. After all, I have f’er #1 sitting in my bathroom (still), while f’er #2 is either AWOL, or pretty close to shirking off it’s ureteral coil. So, on Thursday, the surgery for Friday was canceled (thank God), and the [...]

  • Have acquired my lead-filled jelly donut for the year. Don't think I could eat more than one a year. :)
  • Where we're going, we need no downbeat. Open Metalcast 41 shows you the way: http://ur1.ca/8aaix !openmetalcast
  • @greg They're all awesome until you make a claim. Then they'll bury your honey-covered ass in a fire-ant hill.
  • Neat idea. Loved using it during PyOhio. What really rocked though was the after-conference conversation. Oh well.
  • Interesting to note that SACD and DVD Audio have heightened copy protection schemes, and no market penetration to speak of.
