Who’s Next, too?

Are you getting the latest Mac OS?

Snow Leopard is not as fearsome sounding as ocelot would’ve been, but that’s what Apple’s giving us. No new features, but supposedly changes under the hood.

First and foremost, I hope they do some optimization. Make OS X run faster on my MBP. Make it consume less battery.

Next should be some bug fixes. Fix whatever is scary. Then fix the security of the OS. Just make it better.

From a programming perspective, the multi-core programming doo-hicky has to be explained more. I want to know how to make an octocore mac scream. That would be nice.

Link of the Day [6.02.08]

Today’s link is to Krispy Kreme in Japam. What’s so special about that? I don’t know but it’s interesting to me. I’m wondering about the flavors they have. Do they go beyond glazed? From looking at the home page picture, I think they do things a little differently than they do here.

Dried squid flavor anyone?

Eats

Me and Marge from the Fish Tank spent the day looking for some eats.

It started with the need for some noodles. Obviously, with a post about ramen, that’s what I wanted. There really ain’t none in Bmore except for Mimoto. It doesn’t open until 5:00 pm on a saturday, but we were hungry too much earlier.

So we get to Edo Mae Sushi in Owings Mills, because they had soba as well as udon. Marge loves it cold, and that’s what we had. Plus a sunshine roll which was too much.

Then we get some coffee at the usual haunt. Yet, the coffee was too sweet (for Marge).

So we head back home, but she’s locked out. We wander around a bit and end up at Edo Sushi for a snack: a beer, sashimi and unagi.

That’s a lot of eating today. We’re gonna look for that ramen later next week. And perhaps more cold soba.

Capitol Swell moved from old school blogger to the beata-beta blogger and added labels to his restaurant reviews. This is a cool move and nice touch on using labels. It makes it easy to browse. So if you’re looking for a place to eat in the nation’s capitol, check out Capitol Swell’s DC Restaurant Guide for all the scrumtuous details.

I know I blogged this before, but since I had virtually no audience then, I should tell you about the wonderfulSun, Moon, and Stars Cafe right in my backyard. Just a quick run out the back door. Go there now.
