Restaurant Social Media and its Immediate Implications (the sheep effect)

What’s happening people? It’s been a slightly long time and I’ve not been saying much so here I am. Back. Again.

I’m on holiday (finally) at the moment y’all, and it’s pretty peachy. I actually get some time to chill and do stuff that I want to do (start companies, update shit, you know the deal). Anyway, while being out here on the West coast of that country with all the little red maple leafed flags, and having to rely on eating out at restaurants to survive (and in no way is that a bad thing…), I have discovered a few new tools/apps/services that make this just a little easier (and more web 2.0 dare I say it).

Sandwich Awesomeness

Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

You may or may not know this, but I am of the school of thought that putting anything in between two slices of bread (or bagel/pitta/whatever) makes it better. The sandwich is a lifestyle element and by gosh I embrace it. Literally most sorts of food can be made better with a sandwich…

London…

Veni, Vedi, Vino…

I’ve recently become a member of The Wine Society and as such I figured it was about time to order a ~~crate~~ case (apparently crates are for beers…) of wine. Not really knowing all that much about different sorts of wine, other than that the ones that were normally expensive tended to taste better (unless they were on offer in Sainsbury’s, in which case they could be likened to coloured meths/petrol/water in a bottle), so, I went ahead and ordered a case of the Wine Champions Dozen. These were/are winners of a blind wine tasting competition, and seemed to be at moderately reasonable prices, so I figured it a wise place to start. FYI, the list of wines present are available here.

Wishlist…

Well the time of year that is my birthday is coming up (30th April for all those uninformed…) and well this one is apparently meant to be a big deal and all. 21. Crazy huh? I think it’s pretty old, well only to the extent that I don’t feel 21, but since when did a number dictate how old you felt. Surely that’s a relative thing?

Easyjet Speedy Boarding…

Moment of obvious realisation: Easyjet has Speedy Boarding (&#0153 (probably)).

Okay, it’s totes been around a while and all, but really is it necessary? You pay dirt cheap amounts for dirt cheap tickets on a pretty dirty airplane where they’re trying to snatch every last bit of money off you for any small service possible. Even using a credit card or taking hold baggage. Crazy.

Upgrading old Macs…

Recently, being on holiday and all, I had the time to upgrade an old Powerbook G4. One of those 12″ ones, that were basically netbooks before the whole craze started. It was running some old old version on 10.3, which was probably pretty state of the art in those days, and still isn’t that bad. But it’s just plain crazy with no Spotlight and trackpad gestures (partly a hardware thing…). A little bit crazy how much I use some of these features…
