I have been flying around quite a bit recently for the job and found that if I sit quietly in the cab or bus to and from the airport I can pick up on some remarkable gems from the local population. On tap from this weeks trip is this little nugget:
Don’t marry an American woman. They expect too much and are just too hard to deal with. I’m 56, retired, and moving to Thailand. Those are the women to have. My girlfriend is 26 and she’s thankful for the little things. That’s how a woman is supposed to be. And boy does it get the blood rushing again, if you know what I mean, even for an old guy like me.
This really isn’t my type of advice, but someone out there might find it useful. Feel free to discuss it with your significant other and let me know how that goes.

Sickly
It seems that I keep forgetting that I am a lanky white guy. This week I decided to go to lunch with some of the old NVIDIA co-workers at a local Indian food restaurant. The food was good and I was careful to pick things I knew I could handle. Or so I thought. When
I got back to work things seemed to be heating up just a bit in my stomach. Then, of the course of a few hours, that spicy chicken got into a shouting match with my breakfast and things just went downhill from there. Two days later I was still feeling the burn. I
I guess I’m not curry compatible. Which is a shame, because that’s some good food.
Current Mood:
Surprised
I’ll admit it, I’m finicky when it comes to food items. But this week I discovered Dreyer’s Grape Fruit Bars and I’m hooked. They taste great and seem to be somewhat healthy. At least more healthy than ice cream or other sweets. I don’t see how you could pass up such goodness if you encountered it in your local supermarket frozen foods section. It really is that good.
But now I’ve finished off the box and I want more. There is none to be had in the local store, so I guess I’ll have to wait a bit. But no! I can be notified whenever my local store gets more of the grape flavor. Is this really what I need, yet another email notification?
I saw this story and just had to laugh all the way through it. Literally, its a tongue-in-cheek take on the average geek (that’s me) using virtually all the Google services (still me) to get a girl. Besides being entertaining, it makes me wonder just how much of that stuff will work. I think I’ll have to look into the AdWords idea, though.
The evil genius in me often finds a way out into public view, exposing the secret plans I harbor for world change. In that mode of thought, as of today I have yet to find a more thoroughly researched and documented method for ending the world than this next link:
How to destroy the Earth
It really doesn’t get much more straightforward than that. If you ever wondered what it would take, wonder no longer. Go on, have a look.
