iPhone not running OSX? Hmmmm is Apple fibbing... not that
2007-01-14 07:07:01 iPhone not running OSX? Hmmmm is Apple fibbing... not that I would expect them to be honest. I mean their entire add campaign of Mac vs PC is at it's core a lie. Their campaign is really Mac vs Windows... a PC is a hardware platform and not an OS. In fact the PC platform is the primary platform used for Linux, FreeBSD (who's code base is partly at the core of OSX), and many other OSs. This is why it urks me that people worship Apple, they're a company, and their business practises have historically been little better than those of Microsoft (though OSX is significantly better designed than XP).

2007-01-13 19:06:02 So I work at Concord ia, and every day I'm faced with the question "What the hell am I going to eat for lunch?" The answer to this question often turns out to be "2 Zaatars all dressed and some tuna salad". So what is a zaatar? Well zaatar is a type of spice, and at Altaib (there are 3 but my favorite is the Express), "a zaatar" is a manakish (a sort of Lebanese pizza) coated with said spice. All dressed? well that' a very yummy wrap containing lettuce, tomatoes, olives, mint leaves, onions, and pickled turnip (you've seen it, it's pink, and they put it in falafel pitas). Now I can be a creature of habit, and I eat these things way too often. In fact at Altaib Express I no longer have to speak, a smile and/or nod will place my order for me.read more More About: Work , With , Face , Ever

Plastified Montreal
2007-01-12 19:04:01 Coolopolis points out this morning that Gunther Von Hagen's plastified bodies will be coming to Mont real . I'm excited, I've been wanting to see this thing for quite a while. There's something fundamentally cool, beautiful, and disturbing about this stuff. This is the the announcement from the Montreal Science Center site: From May 10, 2007 An authentic and original anatomical exhibition! After opening to public and critical acclaim in Europe, Asia and North America, seen by over 20 million visitors, BODY WORLDS is finally coming here, to the Montréal Science Centre, from May 10 to September 16, 2007. BODY WORLDS 2 is an authentic and original anatomical exhibition, with the primary aim of educating visitors. This is an extraordinary opportunity to see and understand our own anatomy and to gain a new appreciation and respect for the human body in all its complexity and splendour.read more More About: Last , Real
everybody's talking about...
2007-01-12 01:02:02 Talking about talk of the weather... I know there's concern, is it natural or not? Hell, I'm pissed off about it, but can we put a halt on the talk until March maybe. I guess everybody has to get their chance to speak, but it's repeating now; it's annoying like a record skip... but maybe I'm just grouchy... More About: Body , About , Talk , Talking , King
Damn
2007-01-12 01:02:02 Even the battery life on the iPhone is tolerable... I so want to dislike it, but I don't... In any case I have a contract that will last another year and a bit so there's lots of time for the competition to come up with something (preferably a Linux device). More About: Damn

Montreal: The Unknown City
2007-01-12 01:02:02 I've stated a couple of times that Coolopolis is my favorite Montreal blog, so much so that I bought Kristian's book "Montreal: The Unknown City ". I haven't started reading it, but I'll post a review when I'm finished. I expect my review to be a positive one; he writes about the city with an insight and flavor you don't often see. Aside: the archives of Coolopolis only go back 4 months... is the blog really so young? More About: Real , Know
