Surprise, surprise: The New Yorker dogs S.F. takeout to help elevate New York delivery food. Calvin Trillin's piece is well written, however predictable it might be, until he starts to praise the one thing I despise about Bay City dining: overstuffed superburritos. Give me a San Diego taco shop any day. Burrito al pastor!
Always committ all dates to calendar immediately or as soon as possible. It is never fun to walk into a 9 a.m. meeting at 10 a.m. But if I plug it into Yahoo right away, I'll get a reminder emailed to my phone, usually 12 and 2 hrs beforehand.
Got to love the Internet. Check out this traceroute from a server less than two blocks from my apartment to the PC in said apartment:

Yup: down to LA and up again. I've been wanting to move away from campus. In a way, I already have!
