Harvest Moon
We all love the Harvest Moon in Autumn. But it is out side and you can't drink it.
But now you can! Thanks to technology innovated by the LCBO, you can bring the Harvest Moon home.
1.5 ounces Spiced Whisky (which is good on its own)
0.5 ounces Goldschlager
2.0 ounces apple cider
Shake and serve with a slice of apple.
Yum!

EBay Finds
Thanks to Frank, I am now the proud owner of a $0.99 iPod holder for the car, plus $2.50 for shipping. From Hong Kong. What a deal.

Hacintosh 10.7.2
Yup, upgraded to 10.7.2 without a hitch using the instructions from here. That got me from 10.6.8 to 10.7.0 (the Lion upgrade I bought for the real Macs in the house). The 10.7.0 to 10.7.2 update went smooth.

Tom Waits - Bad As Me
Working Downtown last Saturday
I love working downtown Toronto when they close the Gardner. It seems to happen every time. Here I am zipping along Lakeshore Road West at, oh, 0 km/h.
Jericho
When I was in Denver, I was bored. Really bored. Flipping around Netflix, (can you use the term 'flipping'?), I came across Jericho. It is a series (unfortunately only one and a half seasons) that deals with life post nuclear war.
My kind of happy, go lucky TV.
Anyway, lots of twists, turns and conspiracies. You learn what is going on as the characters do. A very entertaining show. A shame it was killed off. Luckily they managed to end part of the story line in a relatively decent way.

Expenses
Well, you know that your company's expense system is bad when it takes both sides of Tom Waits' "Blue Valentine" to do the expenses for a five day trip to Denver.
On the good side, I was able to listen to Tom Waits' "Blue Valentine" on work time.
On another Tom Waits note, I just received the download code for "Bad as Me". Plus, notice that the CD and LP should be shipping soon.

Hackintosh lives!
Well, until I get my iMac, I have been able to get the Hackintosh up and running again. And it was pretty easy. It is running 10.5.8, and doing quite nicely with the new video card, an NVidia 9400GT.
The main reason, so I can burn DVD audio disks from my collection of 24 bit, 96 KHz FLAC files, mainly from Bowers and Wilkens Society of Sound.
