Lunchbots, created by a loving father to save the (mid)day — For the past couple of weeks Justin has been drawing a different "Lunchbot" on his wife and son's lunch sacks each day. He warns: "This is what happens to underemployed dads/husbands who mostly work from home. Clever creativity or cautionary tale?" Justin is now officially this blog's dad. Thanks, Dad.

Today was a Boring Day (12/2/2008) — The alarm clocks buzzes and I’m awake at 6:30. Monica and I watch some more episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and our morning begins. Those road plates that plagued my commute home for a few weeks are now on the other side of the bridge. As a result, my morning commute is delayed and I have to make sure I leave about 10 minutes earlier in order to make it in to work on time. I don’t understand how these stupid plates can back up traffic so much. They are strange and unusual. The office has the usual...

Fired-Up Chicken Chili - Feast Your Eyes — Filed under: Feast Your EyesChicken chili is one of my favorite quick dinners. It's easy, tasty and always makes a bunch, meaning that I can cook once for at least two nights (and sometimes squeak a lunch out of it as well). Rebecca (and her husband Jeff) are also fans of the chicken chili and have their own fired up recipe. Looks pretty darn good to me!Thanks Rebecca, for adding your picture to the pool.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments... [Tags: chicken chili, feast your eyes, lunch, pool, quick dinners]

New York serves AMD free Foundry lunch — Empire State fab a go As state and local governments across the U.S. starve for revenue during the ongoing financial meltdown, AMD and its Abu Dhabi-based partner, Advanced Technology Investment Co., were yesterday unanimously voted $1.2bn in tax and cash incentives from New York's Empire State Development Corp., according to a report published in Albany's The Business Review.…...

Black and White cookies — I love b+w cookies. They remind me of my days in NYC running around town with stacks of Silicon Alley Reporter. I was broke, and a good lunch was a slice, hot dog or a black and white. I love my life in Los Angeles, its better than NYC on so many levels. However, there are these pieces of NYC I just can’t get out of my head. Black and whites are one. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile Posted by email from jasoncalacanis’s posterous       ...

How Physicists Make Lunch — For coffee, a pot just won’t do. Neither will a microwave oven. How about a YAG laser beam? For hot dogs, forget the grill or toaster oven. Cook them with a 10-foot tall Tesla coil! See videos of both procedures at Talk Like A Physicist. Link -via Dark Roasted Blend... [Tags: coffee, hot dogs, laser beam, lunch, microwave oven]

Burger King Burger Shots — From A Hamburger Today Over the weekend, while I was trying not to work, we at A Hamburger Today received this email from longtime reader and frequent commenter Phauxtoe: Hey, I got a bone to pick with you guys. Today (Friday) I stopped at Burger King to get a road coffee (nothing else). I saw an ad the menu for "BURGER SHOTS," with and without cheese.I guess they have moved into the slider market.Here is the problem: I read your site everyday or so—why do I have to hear about this on the streets?Thanks but no thanks, Phauxtoe Trying my...

Our first ShoZu Grand Master reveals himself in Vancouver — Yes, Roland Tanglao has grabbed hold of the MIR ShoZu Campaign Mantle and thrust a stake in the ground right in the centre of Vancouver. To paraphrase the A-Team introduction: “If nobody else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Roland Tanglao.” That’s right, Roland is offering to help anyone understand, install and setup ShoZu — although he rightly points out that if you’re using an iPhone, you probably don’t need any help as it’s so easy. But if you’re in need, buy Roland a $2.25 macchiato and the knowledge is yours. What a deal.... [Tags: cameraphone, dab hand, email address, gastown, iphone]

This is a guest post from Danny Kofke, author of How to Survive (and Perhaps Thrive) on a Teacher’s Salary. Times are tough. Many are finding it more difficult to stretch their dollars. I know this first-hand because I am a school teacher, and my wife is a stay-at-home mom with our two young daughters. Despite earning a modest income, we have managed to own all of our possessions (including two cars!) except our house, set aside a six-month emergency fund, and invest so that we are on track to retire as millionaires. We live a financially secure life on... [Tags: big ticket items, coffee, credit card, electronics store, emergency fund]

Following Top Chef Judging, Foo Fighers Rider Fun — Wonder what the Top Cheftestants were in for on the road with the Foo Fighters (in the episode that aired) the other night? Check out this recent concert rider from the band, which The Smoking Gun found out the Foo's tour manager made funny so it's "interesting to the woman in Oklahoma City who has to go out and get the hummus." The rider includes soup, of course ("every lunch should include a soup of the day--please try to to make it a vegetarian selection. Meaty soups make roadies fart."), which was the surprise twist of the Quickfire challenge this... [Tags: fart, foo fighters, hummus, lunch, oklahoma city]

Blogging Hard or Hardly Blogging — One of the things I love about this “job” is the amount of variety, both in the things I do, the opportunities that come along, and the interesting people I get to hang out with. Strange thing is, I am not sure if the blogging part of my life is starting to shrink. Perhaps it is just a definition thing, but I seem to do less actual blogging now than I have in about ten years. I create blogs, I consult about blogs, I used blogs, read blogs, but my actual blogging has gone way down. Part of that is... [Tags: blog, blogger, credit cards, fox, friend ryan]

It's about the users, dummy! — Michael Fraase tries to explain what I've tried real hard to explain for the last N years (where N might be as many as 15 believe it or not) that news, like any other business, is about the users. I do this with programmers, with about as little success as with people in the news industry. People who write software invariably think the users' job is to give them "feedback" which they are free to do with as they please. Of course they are free to ignore the users, but eventually that results in the users (er ahem, drum roll... [Tags: bus drivers, california school, doctors, glutton, job]

A guest post from Devan Sabaratnam I am always on the lookout for free or low cost web services that will help me (and my clients) to better organise their day, and to be more productive. About a year ago, I stumbled upon a free service called 'I Want Sandy', which, in a nutshell, is an online virtual assistant.  The way it works is, I can send Sandy an email asking her to remind me to do something or to remember any pertinent detail, and she would do it quickly and efficiently in the background. For example, I could send... [Tags: appointments, betrayal of trust, brilliant designer, dismay, email]

Brando Clock Thermometer Has More USB Hubs Than We Know What to Do With [Brando] — I sometimes wonder if the people at Brando have a competition going to see how many USB ports they could possibly put into one gadget. This alarm clock device comes with seven hubs, as well as a calendar and thermometer. With seven hubs (and knowledge of your room's exact temperature), you could charge your iPod, warm your feet, warm your hands, heat your coffee, heat your lunch, humidify your cubicle and still have a hub left over. Sure, having all those things running at the same time could cause some massive electrical shortage, but at least you'll be toasty,... [Tags: alarm clock, coffee, cubicle, exact temperature, gadget]

Biden's Role Still Unclear: No Defined Portfolio Yet — WASHINGTON - The day before Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s birthday last week, Barack Obama surprised him after lunch with candlelighted cupcakes. Within hours, the photograph of the president-elect and his running mate, smiling over the dessert, was on the evening news. The photograph, circulated by Mr. Obama's office, was meant to project unity, confidence and camaraderie. But while Mr. Obama has moved quickly to assemble his White House staff and the beginnings of a cabinet, he is lagging behind even the chronically late President Bill Clinton in bringing clarity to the role his vice president will play....
