    Why I want to consume "World of Warcraft" — 2 years ago

    I finally broke down, after 2 years of avoiding it – and bought World of WarCraft a few nights ago.

    This evening, I came across the WorldofWarcraft Crazy Christmas on YouTube so now I am in a rush to start playing it.

    The user manual for the game is slightly daunting but I think I actually will read it before playing.

    One thing that is helping me get acquainted with the game more quickly is watching the videos (screencasts, they are called) recorded from the game by people who like playing it.

    One thing that is cool about WoW for programmers is that you can customize it using the Lua programming langauge and XML.

    I may not keep playing this for a really long time but I think I will give it some serious attention this winter.

    A story about "World of Warcraft" — 2 years ago

    I spotted a couple really good music videos people produced all the visuals for just by recording the World of WarCraft gameplay.

    Here is another one – a kind of gothic WarCraft rock video

    much more enjoyable than the second in the trilogy was — 1 year ago

    WORTH CONSUMING!

    The second one had length scenes in the underground city that were just, well, boring – but not so this one.

    The action/suspense kept moving along in this film.

    The only thing that seems silly about this whole series is that the story writer put forth a ridiculous premise. He put forth the idea that human beings contain a lot of electrical energy – when the fact is, they do not.

    The voltage levels of the human brain and nervous system can barely be measured.

    The idea that a machine population would farm humans for electricity is preposterous.

    The machines would have quickly used up all the energy just keeping the human beings alive, and gotten back little in return. Plus, taking all the energy (what little there was) from the human hosts – would have killed everyone immediately.

    The Matrix is about impossible combat. And the fight scenes in this movie delivered that once again.

    good-tasting but you really do not have to pay $4 for one — 1 year ago

    WORTH CONSUMING!

    I found that if you make coffee that is just a little extra strong and a little extra hot, then add about a quarter of its volume’s worth of milk – it tastes the same as a latte.

    So, while they taste very good compared to regular milk, lattes are shamelessly over-priced and over-hyped.

    Why I recommend "Sugar in the Raw" — 1 year ago

    WORTH CONSUMING!

    It is the only kind of sugar I like in coffee. Usually, I have it black – sometimes with milk and sugar.

    Initially, I did not even see it in this country. Only in England.

    Then, I started seeing packets of it in the trendier coffee shops.

    I looked for it in the supermarket for years but could not find it. Finally, it showed up this year at one of the grocery stores near where I live, so I bought it.

    The reason I like this sugar in coffee is that it has a tamer and more interesting taste than most sugar. The crystals are light brown and larger than regular sugar. It tastes like a cross between brown sugar and regular crystaline white sugar.

    It is made with Turbinado sugar from Hawaii, in case you are interested.

    Try it in coffee sometime, if you have not already done so. I think you will prefer it of regular sugar for your coffee.

    Why I want to consume "Bubble Yum ice cream" — 1 year ago

    NOT WORTH CONSUMING

    I used to like Bubble Yum bubble gum when I was a kid.

    I have tried cotton candy ice cream and bubble gum flavored soda.

    So I thought I would give this a try too.

    ugh, this is gross — 1 year ago

    NOT WORTH CONSUMING

    The taste of the ice cream is good, and the product would have been just fine – if they left it at that.

    Apparently, somebody decided to carry the homage to its namesake just a little too far, however.

    When you eat the ice cream, bits of some weird stuff they embedded in the product get stuck in your teeth.

    You chew them but they do not dissolve. What the heck is this stuff???

    Please tell me that someone at Breyers did not decide to embed bubble gum in food.

    You know, food – that stuff you are supposed to swallow? You know, bubble gum – that stuff you are not supposed to swallow.

    At first, I thought the little pink and blue chunks of some unindentifiable substance were some kind of candy. And I was swallowing some.

    Then, it started to form bum-like little balls between my teeth – like bubble gum, sort of. And I chewed them, and they did not go away.

    Here is the Breyers Bubble Yum ice cream home page. I do not see bubble gum or Bubble Yum listed as an ingredient, thank god.

    I still think this is a dumb product, and I doubt I will ever buy it or eat it again.

    They should have left out the weird gum-like stuff and simply made an ice cream. My advice is stay away from this.

    Even a kid that begs for it at home is probably not going to be too taken with it once he gets it in a bowl.

    not my favorite in the series but it is still very good — 1 year ago

    WORTH CONSUMING!

    I eat very little pork. It does not have the greatest reputation as a healthy food.

    However, in this meal you are getting a pretty healthy mix of foods.

    Total calories on the entire dish is 240 calories. That is about the same number you will find in a 20 ounce soft drink bottle.

    What you will not find in the soft drink bottle is almost forty percent of your protein requirement for the day, some vitamin A, calcium, and some iron. You might find some vitamin C in your soda if it is an orange one.

    This also has 16% of your daily requirement of dietary fiber. That is another thing you are not going to find in your soda – or virtually any other drink, for that matter.

    It has 15 grams of fat total (10% of daily requirement) – zero grams of which are trans fat.

    It is pretty tasty.

    It is still pork, though. So heed the warnings on the box – keep it frozen until ready to eat, and then cook it thoroughly according to the recommendations. Undercooked pork is dangerous.

    In these days of electric freezers and microwave ovens, you can have a hot pork dinner in minutes. The number of calories and the amount of fat in this dish is not as high as you would expect, and is a great alternative to junk foods.

    A story about "Vegetable Medley" — 2 years ago

    I was really enjoying it. Until I looked on the back to copy the name of the company on here – and saw they are based in Salinas, California.

    In case you were living under a rock this fall, that is where the e. coli outbreaks that have been hitting vegetables come from.

    No wonder they recommend microwaving it in the bag!

    See Farmers given sharp warning before outbreak – Infectious Diseases – MSNBC in case you have recently egressed from a large, sunlight-occluding stone.

    The thing is that it is not super-relevant that the particular outbreak that was publicized is over, or that the tainted vegetable that time was spinach.

    The FDA was warning farmers in that valley a year before the recent outbreak killed people in various states across the US.

    And also there had been a lot of e. coli infected produce traced back to that valley before the mid-2006 incident.

    I think I will pass on any more of this brand for a while. That, or microwave it really well before eating it.
