What's up with all these names? Raspberry Pi, Icecream Sandwich, Honeycomb, etc.

Now, if someone came up with a device with the name "pork spare ribs", that would get my attention.

Just for the record, Raspberry Pi isn't a version of Android.

I know. It's hardware, not software.

New York.

Do people have to take vitamin D supplements there? No bloody sunlight on the streets...

Also, bloody expensive, and I'm from London where I'm used to beer being pricey. but. Bloody hell. $5 for a shitty Bud? Bud isn't even proper beer.

Otherwise, pretty amazing place. Prefered Brooklyn to Manhattan. Felt much like where I come from in south London.

Anyway, back in the UK.

Pro tip: Never fly long haul with Delta.
Their service just plain sucks.

Also: Rachel Maddow's 9pm show on msnbc would probably get a good audience over here in the UK.

Well, I'm sure she'd appreciate having at least one. ;)

I have a roommate from New York, he's from the Bronx, and I was engaged to a girl from Brooklyn for a while. Plus, I hate the Yankees and the Mets. So, despite having never gone there, I feel like there's a tenuous connection. It's just up the road, I should really go sometime...

Also, careful about drinking, it'll make your ears fall off.

I'm in need of a good mouse, preferably wireless and rechargeable.

Any recommendations?

So, I just found out I got accepted to law school. That's pretty cool.

I also just found out that another school accepted me to the Master's portion of a Master's/JD degree program in Public Policy. So, if I get accepted to their law school as well, I'd be working on both a MPP and a JD at the same time. It would be a monster, but make for excellent prospects afterward!

On a side-note, I have to say it seems like you have very different career paths in mind every so many weeks. Police academy, law school...perhaps in a couple of months you'll be in astronaut training. :P

Well, I was thinking of getting running shoes this weekend. ;)

Friends of mine had one in late October, another ones had one this week, and my brother should get his in May. Plenty of spawning all around it seems :P

Congrats Rkiver!
