No Free Lunch?
I was in a meeting yesterday where the presenter kept saying, “You never get a free lunch!” or “There’s no free lunch!” All I kept thinking was, bummer! I’m kinda of hungry…
Oh well, free lunch today! – and it’s one of my faves! Kneader’s Reuben. Thanks guys! I feel like I should share it with the guy who never gets a free lunch…
Is Deflategate Even Real
Interesting article about the whole deflated footballs thing. I personally don’t really care one way or another, but it was interesting to watch unfold. The one thing that’s bothered me throughout it though is the lack of accountability by the NFL. No one said to the NFL, if psi is so important than why doesn’t the NFL have a “check-in” and handle the footballs during game time? This whole episode is kind of alienating…
Original article is apparently gone, this one works too.

The Crunch in Figs is NOT a Bug’s Skeleton
Had this come up again today…
Years ago I listened to a speaker whose entire presentation culminated with the declaration that figs don’t have seeds, that the crunchy bits are insect parts! Gross right? Totally ruined Italy for me since figs grow like weeds there. Only thing is, it was total bs. While partly true that bug(s) get trapped in the flower as part of the pollination process, the developing fruit completely breaks down any trapped insect(s) with various enzymes.
It’s Surprising how much this story spread and how many still believe this myth -what with google and all. Figs DO have seeds! You should be able to enjoy your next fig treat in peace. I recently had a fig pizza that was especially delicious.
Cool Design Ideas
Was researching some backlit stone walls for a project and thought these were pretty amazing. These are all made with natural stone that’s cut thin enough so that it allows transmission of light.
Leave it Alone!
Just checked my mail. This is about a weeks worth of mail from my office… yes, most of that mail is junk mail from Dish Network. I mean, I JUST signed up for Dish bundled with internet here THEN they started sending these sign-up cards! What more do they expect of me? It’s like when i bought a car and the dealership started sending a ton of mail to get me to buy a new car…. I just did! They need to just let it be, at least for a little while!
