Yes a Mac developer.
It looks interesting. Sign me up.

It’s a dawning of the new era in Japan. Reiwa.

Wasn’t just last week that I was writing about “Office Space?” Seems like it.
Here’s another retrospective on everyone’s favorite movie about work.

I’m sort of in agreement with this list of best french fries. The vast middle I don’t care about, but there are several there that deserve mentioning.
First is first place, Five Guys. Agreed. Last is In-N-Out. Agreed for the same reason that putting junk on it doesn’t absolve it from being terrible.
Also agreed with curly fries from Arby’s. And also with the diss of the dumb waffle “fries” from Chik-Fil-A. If I wanted potato chips, I would’ve bought potato chips!

If I ever do a podcast someday, I’m gonna need some music. Perhaps this is a good place to start.

Another year, another year of “Link of the Day!” Perhaps I will find something better with my time. Maybe…
There are a set of films that I believe have described my life. “Office Space” is one of them. Both when I was a server at some shlock place like Tchotkes or working at IniTech, this film speaks to me.
I remember catching it with the Shore Studios crew. We did not laugh one bit during the show. It took video and us maturing to see how funny it was.
I really miss the Shore Studios crew.

I know you’re saying to yourself, “BrowserMetrics, it’s kind of late in the day for a link to visit, dontcha think?”
Sure. Sure.
But any time is a good time to talk about ramen.
Tonight’s link takes us to the introduction post for a series by the now non-anonymous, Ramen Lord, as he tells us what we’re gonna learn about making ramen. I’m not sure I want to make ramen, but reading his take makes me more appreciative of cooking a good bowl of ramen.
I’m hungry. I feel like a bowl of…

Number one with a sword is everyone’s favorite: Seven Samurai. It’s mine as well, and one I consider in the top 5 of greatest films ever made, top 3 of the best films ever, and numero uno as the GOAT. Maybe. But that’s my opinion.
Let me know what’s yours.

Go, Carp, Go!
The Baltimore Orioles may be in a dismal situation, but checking in on my team in the Nippon Baseball League, Hiroshima Toya Carp, I find they made it back to the Japan Series. It’s like their World Series. This is the second time in three years. They haven’t won it, yet, and it’s been since 1984 that they have won it.
I wonder if Carp fans in Japan were ever thinking if they would ever win the championship again since that time.
As an Orioles fan who hasn’t seen them win since 1983, I know how it goes.
One day. Maybe. One day.
