Found Chuck

After visiting the previous post location, we found this "art" in the
hotel. Perhaps Chuck was looking for these...

So many things in Santa Fe

So, we checked out the Santa fe chocolate trail. Basically there are
four chocolate makers in the town that have banded together to market
the idea. We hit all four and samples some good and sone interesting
chocolates. Chuck's Nuts has been renamed to C. G. Higgins, but they
kept the sign.

A classic never dies

In high school, we had a graphic design lab. It had some nice
computers. Apple Macintosh LCII's and a Macintosh fx, and the one that people tried
not to use because it wasn't as powerful, the Classic. I was in Santa
Fe last week and this caught my eye. The check out was a Macintosh
Classic II. Probably the first style of all-in-one computer on the
market. This one was made in Singapore in August 1992 and looked to be
still running strong. The screen was a little faded and dim, but it
was humming along. Right next to it was an early model power mac. One
of the less desirable designs that Apple has ever invented.

It sounds so yummy...

Rush out to your local grocer and grab a pile of these yummy treats.
"cheesey smothered meat patty meal". Note may contain no cheese OR
beef... It's a "meat" patty covered in a "cheesy" sauce. It looks
like somebody threw up on their salsbury steak meal... No thanks!

Things that are new: Milky Way simply caramel

So, what can I say... A bar of caramel covered in chocolate. That's
what you get. Yummy, but not very interesting. 5/10 is my score. Now,
if I could just find some heritage Dr Pepper...

That's one smart car...

I was in a car yesterday and noticed this feature... You can turn off
the car's "ESP". That keeps it from guessing where you are going.

Oldie but goodie...

Here’s an old picture from a trip to Boston a few years ago.  I thought it was pretty funny…. I guess you need to get everything clean somehow ;)

Correction

So, I'm actually using blog writer lite on the iPhone. It allows you to post text only posts. That's a bummer. The other, more annoying lack of feature is that the keyboard does not rotate. So, after 2 posts (counting this one) I think it will be retired. Email posting seems to work well. Google has an iPhone app, but it only links to blogger. Not so useful. I'll keep looking.

... and some other people

Here is the description from this week's American Idol. I those "other
people" don't really count.
