Donuts!


Friday, August 12th, 2011

Thinking on it, I'm pretty sure the dust in the Ark of the Covenant - the dust that was so powerful it literally caused men's faces to melt off - was ancient donuts.  You'll also notice that the super laser on the Death Star is shaped like a donut.  And, in case you were wondering, I'm pretty sure the Large Haydron Collider, the most powerful piece of scientific equipment known to man, was designed based on the  mighty donut.* 

Such are their power.

I recently went on a Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas.**  Bless the waitstaff onboard that ole' tanker - they tried to serve us a proper breakfast, but there were no donuts to be had.  Just small, roundish objects with some form of diesel flavored glaze and a dab of what I imagined to be raspberry jam on top. Those aren't real donuts.  That's why I had to come back... for real donuts.

Donuts glisten like the morning dew in the early summer. Donuts smell of cake and childhood fun.  Donuts are shaped like the modern torrid shaped model of the engine that drives our galaxy.  That's right, folks!  The object that makes our ENTIRE GALAXY SPIN*** is, essentially, a chocolate, chocolate glazed donut - also known as a Quantum Singularity, or black hole.

There are donuts in every kitchen in the office!  There are literally DOZENS OF DOZENS.  There are donuts for all.  There will be donuts for some time yet today!

Enjoy everyone!****

**Disappointingly, Captain Jack Sparrow did not stumble across the island. Probably because there were no donuts on it.
***Contrary to popular belief, it isn't alcohol. That just makes the room spin.
****Donut responsibly

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, or What It's Like When a Nerd Takes Acid

Image
I went to Star Wars Celebration, and I feel the need to tell you about it and provide you with an honest, clear review of this event. You have been warned. Firstly, are you a fan of Star Wars ? I don't mean "Yes, I saw some of those. They were good." I'm not referring to the people who have seen each and every single film, some more than once. I'm not even talking to people who have a plush taun-taun, or that 'one really rad shirt from the first film in Japanese.' If you are one of these people, congratulations, you are well adjusted, have a strong appreciation for a culturally significant movie, and probably go to therapy for other reasons. Also, if you're a casual fan and live nearby, sure, give it a shot, maybe take a day trip to check some stuff out. If you wake up every morning in Star Wars sheets and eat Kellogg's C-3PO's  from a vintage 1997 Special Edition Re-Release Box with a light up lightsaber spork, DO I H

TESLA REVIEW PART II: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Image
PART I: THE BASICS Now we're on to the ACTUAL REVIEW! What's it like to drive a Tesla, for the average joe? I'm not a man who drives a BMW 3 series, or a Mercedes, or an Audi. Or a Lexus. Or an Acura. I don't have the latest Mazda 6 series. I have a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD Honda Accord. I imagine a large number of Tesla drivers will be coming from a similar experience - so I want to share what it's like moving from a car to an electric-powered rocket with wheels, airbags, and the most advanced cupholders I've ever seen. Here's the car. It's smaller than I thought, has no power, and I can't get the trunk open. A model Model 3. If I paid it to wear clothes, It would be a model model Model 3. As for the ACTUAL car: First, you gotta get INTO the thing. You walk up to it with cellphone in pocket, push in on a block bit which pops the handle out, pull the handle, and climb in. So far, I've noticed that this works 95% of the time. 5% of the time

Spanish for Donut

I'm BACK!  After several weeks of long, long hours at a fun, but unfortunately short term position, I have returned to my roots! Unfortunately, I can't tell you where I was working, not because of the project I was working on - because the position I had (special kind of Production Assistant based around intellectual property security). I CAN tell you that it was in Miami. And I learned some things there.  Something important and breakfast related.  Churros. Those are delicious. It's like a single donut stick - a Mexican donut-saber.  It's an oddly long and amazingly delicious treat. Churros are served hot - the outside is awesomely crispy, covered in a stardust-type sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and the inside is a melty, doughy blend of amazing deliciousness. You should go get one of these right now, for two reasons.  Firstly, because based on their addictive nature, I have to at least guess that somewhere in that cinnamon sugar mix is crystal meth or some other
