Karenism Deliciously geeky

I’ve always considered myself a slightly creepy man with hippie influences. What would you look like on the inside?

As some of you know, California passed a law to band partially hydrogenated oils in restaurants. This is a wonderful step in the right direction, though these nasty oils will remain in packaged goods. Texas A&M did a study on oils comparing fry life and taste. Their conclusions:

All of the zero trans fat oils showed excellent fry lives that were functionally equivalent to or better than partially hydrogenated oil.

Notably, all nine of the zero trans fat oils were preferred by consumers over the partially hydrogenated oil.

Not consuming foods with trans-fats is healthier for you AND tastier.

Here is a little peek inside “The Dark Night” screening made by Vanessa. Her movies make me happy in a way I can’t quite explain. There is a little strip tease action in the middle by one of the Zivity models so it might be NSFW or CLAT (come look at this), depending on your workplace.

The movie was everything I hoped for, and then some. It was violent, beautiful, thought-provoking.

The Dark Night Trailor 2

I haven’t seen Wall-E; not interested in Hell Boy. THIS is the movie I’m esploder about. (Notice how nice and sharp this video is compared to some other video sharing sites. Trailor 1 and Trailor 3)

I recently found this clip in one of my cameras. This clip proves that despite all of Dennis’ talk about saving the environment, he secretly wants to destroy it.

Cheap flights, yummy snacks, power outlets; What else could I ask for in an airline? (aside from consistent timeliness which I’ve never gotten from any airline) They recently added a couple of new premium tv shows which was a very nice surprise.

PS
Being in Boston when the Celtics crush the Lakers is pretty darn sweet. I’m not a huge sports fan but I watched half of the game during dinner tonight. The excitement is contagious. I currently hear tons of shouting, screaming and honking. I can’t wait to see how they celebrate in the next few days.

Lately I’ve been feeling quite restless. I love San Francisco and I’ve lived & studied in the bay area most of my life. Little things about San Francisco that were just flies have become giant attack mosquitoes (cold nights, traffic, tourists getting in the way of where I’m going, etc). I need a little time away so I can come back and appreciate all the wonderful things this place has to offer. So… I’ll be in Boston for 10 days working in a new Y! office. I’m looking forward to the change of pace and expect to get a ton of work done on my current project.

I’ll get to watch Amanda Palmer (of The Dresden Dolls) perform in her home town with the Boston Pop Orchestra. No doubt I’ll be esploder the day of the show. Are there any recommendations for entertainment while I’m there?

Hit my pownce account to hear the D-Dolls’ “Boston” from their new album, “No, Virginia”. (get individual songs)

Bye for now SF.

The group workout is my favorite part. I love making movies with Justine.

A big thanks to the guys who were willing to be fun and silly on camera. They got adorably excited when they found out Micah designed the new comment system at Digg. Many of the guys in the video developed Tooble. They’re high school kids! Quite impressive. I didn’t try the app, as I have little interest in downloading shitty quality content off youtube. It would be cool if they could hook up rss subscription to it so you don’t have to individually pick each video. With all the rss converters out there you could make youtube feeds for any interest. Neat.

I’m looking at pig-shaped jewelry in a shop in Monterey when I realize that it’s the end of the semester and I need to take my finals. Somehow I magically appear back on campus in time, but there are no more seats in the room so I sit outside on the cement. I try to find a comfortable sitting position. It occurs to me that everything I write will have that squiggly bumpy property from using the sidewalk as a table. I worry about legibility as I flip through the test — computability & complexity and it is taught by Paul Hilfinger. I blink, time’s up; I’ve finished one of eight problems.

I wake up in a panic for the 4th night in the past 7 days. Needless to say, life has been a little stressful lately.

It keeps drawing me back.
