From the description of the hotel we will be in this week:

The hotel is a beautiful seven- story hotel with a lively indoor atrium, business center, and a complimentary 24-hour fitness center. Enjoy lunch or dinner at our new exotic restaurant, Concha Me Crazy, serving Thai/Caribbean cuisine.

Thai/Caribbean is not a cuisine and Concha Me Crazy is the worst restaurant name.� Ever.

From an article I had to read for school:

Admit it: the reason many of us got into IT security was, well, sex. Technological sex, to be more specific, the stuff of Clifford Stoll, Take Down and BugTraq postings, stack overflows, reflected DDoS, polymorphic worms�and so on.� It�s cool. It�s sexy. It�s OK to admit it.

This explains why programmers are always getting some.� It's right up there with "rock star" as a sexy profession.

I'm also getting rather annoyed with all of the ugly jewelry ads on TV.� Kaye Diamonds is advertising that their diamonds are "hand selected".� I guess this is to differentiate Kaye from all of those other jewelry stores that have a robot select their diamonds.� It's right up there with ice cream parlors that advertise "hand dipped".� Because it could be "dipped" in a factory.� Or by an animal.� Or something.

I need a vacation.
