Voodoo Doughnut

Posted on by

A coworker brought in a box of doughnuts today.  “Ho-hum”, I thought, until I looked into the box and saw a maple bar covered with two bacon strips.


Meh?


Turns out his wife had been to Portland, OR recently and visited the Voodoo Doughnut store.  They make all kinds of crazy doughnuts, sell t-shirts, and perform legal wedding ceremonies underneath a large portrait of Isaac Hayes.  The fee for the wedding is $175, and includes doughnuts and coffee for 10 people.  AWESOME.


BTW, I tried one that was covered in crushed Oreos.  It was pretty good, and definitely better than a doughnut you’d pick up at your local Safeway.


Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up in case you’re ever up in the Pacific Northwest.  Check it out!

Incredible Bender Case Mod

I’m a huge Futurama fan – heck, my financial advisor even bears a striking resemblance to Philip J. Fry – so it’s no surprise that I’m more than a little envious of this Bender case mod (click image for more details):


Hitachi to ship 1 TB hard drive this year

1 TB drives getting ready to hit the streets


Ho.  Lee.  Crap.


And they’re only going to cost $400, which will surely go down with time.  Insanity. 


My first computer (Pentium 200 MHz) had a 2 GB hdd, and that was top of the line at the time.  1 TB?  That’s just ridiculous.  And my coworker just informed me that Seagate plans to have a 37.5 TB drive out in a couple of years.


This is great news considering that I am the recipient of a brand new Nikon D80.  Since I am just now learning how to use it, you can bet that there will be gigs and gigs of “learning” photos.


Yes, I love technology…  But not as much as you, you see…  Always and forever…
