I spent the past weekend with Nadia – pretty much just the two of us over the four day weekend. It was a pretty damn great time.
Friday night we got some teriyaki and watched several episodes of Doctor Who (season four, three episodes)… We’re about half way through the season now, and I think Nadia is really enjoying it. It’s fun going back and re-watching some of the episodes, seeing how the various bits actually played into the overall arc of the season.

Warp Core Breach : Best Drink in Existence
I’ve found it! I’ve finally found it!
After months of looking, I’ve found the fabled recipe for the Best Drink Ever: the Warp Core Breach, once proudly served in Quarks Bar and Grill at the Star Trek Experience.
I remember one night, a month and change before the place shut down, Rosenberg and I hit the place up for a visit… and we got to talking to the bartender, who promised that the recipe would find it’s way online.
Well, today I had a bit of slow time at work… I did a Google query, and found it nestled deep on a Trek BBS somewhere on the interwebs. (more…)
I just realized I like my lunch more than my job.
I was sitting here, eating my lunch… and got to thinking that if security were to walk up, right now, and say I was no longer employed and would I please follow them…
That I’d be more upset over not being able to finish my lunch than I would be over no longer having a viable source of income.
Last night shall forever be known as “Free Steak Night”, for reasons of the obvious – I received a free steak from PT’s. I shall now attempt to record for future posterity just how this steak, those twelve ounces of meaty goodness came to be eaten by me, free of charge.

Disaster: Students Quarantined in University As Epidemic Unfolds.
In short: It looks like a school in China has quarantined everyone due to an outbreak of cholera. So far this hasn’t hit the major news networks - despite the quarantine having gone on for over three days now.
Reports were getting out via blogs and social networks – such as lack of food, water, medical treatment, information going either direction – and, as of yesterday (I think), their net access and water were both suspended.
I’m not entirely sure just how real this situation is – As with all things, it could be a massive hoax – but if real, it’s chilling, and a damn fine example of how easy it is to manipulate and suppress information despite the speed at with it can be disseminated.
