Well the staff of DP is finally on a much-needed vacation for the next ten days. We’re staying in the panhandle area of Florida, drinking beer and running. Not at the same time, of course, but…wait a minute…
Anyway, updates may be few and far between for a bit. But here’s this week’s installment of FTILFF:
- Dyson’s public restroom hand dryer - You would think that those fancy shmancy Dyson vacuums would be kinda lame for being so damned expensive. But the few times I’ve used one, I’ve been impressed. And seeing this video from CNet about the Airblade makes me realize that this guy has a crack team of monkeys cranking out some pretty incredible designs. Yes, vacuums and hand dryers are cool. There, I said it.
- Joe Mathlete Explains Today’s Marmaduke - Hilarious. I hate Marmaduke as a cartoon, but this guy has some pretty hilarious “interpretations,” and some pretty honest ones as well.
- Having a beer while watching the sun set over the ocean - Yes. A magical elixir to erase The Suck from the past year.
- Heath Bar Cookies - I’ve never been much of a toffee fan. But The Wife definitely is, so all things toffee are now added to my baking repertoire. These cookies? I’ll probably be making them in the next 24 hours they look so dang good.
- Nutmeg in your muffins - I’ve found that this little freshly-grated addition to muffins makes a nice, mildly nutty almost citrusy kick. Complimented w/ some chocolate chips, they make a 11 hour drive to the coast bearable.
I’m off to sit under an umbrella, slathered in SPF9000 sunscreen so as to remain as cancer-free painfully pale white as possible. Maybe I’ll have a beer or twelve to console myself.
Vacation rules.
