One of the problems with being so outrageously intelligent is holding two or more apparently contradictory positions on a single issue.

So, I was thinking tonight, in reference to something I was thinking about a few days ago, and realised that I have some pretty serious ethical problems with eating meat… I mean, taking another life, just for a meal, it simply isn’t necessary.

Not going to stop, though, it is delicious… But it might force me to eventually. Who can say.

Lastly, I’m sick of getting my arse kicked, so please stop.

Newton MessagePad

I’ve recently acquired an old Newton MessagePad to play with, built a serial cable adapter to connect it to my workstation… Details are here. BTW, you don’t give a damn about this unless you have a Newton yourself, so don’t bother, there aren’t any jokes or anything.

Ouch.

Getting my arse kicked...  Some of the people standing up in the mirror are waiting to take their turn kicking my arse, too...Graded. Was horrible. Got the crap kicked out of me… All sorts of wonderful coloured bruises and scrapes. Very relieved to have it over with.

Food and drink.

So, you might have gotten the idea that I liked my lunch yesterday, I did, it was perfect, timing wise, and everything wise. But it might have been surpassed by today’s lunch – my baby made me a most delicious bowl of pasta, with yum crusty bread, a big glass of vanilla coke, and a delicious caramel chocolate muffin!

This is the glutton, that ate my last button!

Vanilla Coke.

So, vanilla coke… And damn but doesn’t it taste like creaming soda, very smooth and creamy. It took Coca-Cola a long time to get over the humiliation of their cherry cola failure, but I didn’t expect them to introduce two totally new flavours in the space of only a couple of months.

Whatever happened to NZ being used as a test market?
