It's always the way

After am0's post about bourbon yesterday, I was moved to have some Elmer T. Lee bourbon. So, as Alistair Cooke used to say, "The most melodious sound in the world is ice clinking into a glass at 4 pm" and the Elmer T Lee was poured. I went into the living room, sat down, and prepared to enjoy.

The phone rang. It was an interviewer. Her telephone connection (perhaps the fact she was calling from some Gawd-forsaken place where furrin languages are spoken and her accent was heavy) was bad and the background noise in the interviewing room was pretty loud. I had to ask her to repeat herself regularly. All this time the Elmer T Lee was sitting in the living room and being diluted by the ice.

It took me 5 minutes to get back to my drink. Interviewer, nothing personal, but I don't like you.

Happy birthday, houseboi

...and many happy returns of the day.

Today's product URL

As you may remember, I bought an Asus EEE when in Singapore. It works well, and I plan to start taking it out to Starbucks occasionally to surf and Tweet.

Asus has another product that is even more interesting. I have seen computer that were fitted into the back of a flat-screen monitor (quite common). I have never seen a computer fitted into a keyboard.

My initial impression is that the monitor is not well placed and is a bit small. But, you decide!

For fj and others of the HK persuasion

...some sartorial splendour for you.

Joe Godlewski is a retired barber, but he knows a business opportunity when he sees it. You've heard of kosher salt? Well, he's selling Christian salt. Blessed by an Episcopal priest, no less.

I suspect that the ladies and gentlemen of the AMIA and various other far-right separatist Anglican organisations may want to come out with their own alternative, blessed by Bob Duncan and called "Straight Male Christian Salt".
