Are you aware of the many and varied benefits of pie?  Longevity, increased happiness and sexual potency, halitosis prevention, and beneficial mutations are just a few of the perks that pie has brought us.  For trillions of year, pie has been the leading the way in food technology and innovation.  From the pugilistic fighting pies of yesteryear, to today’s GigaFlav™​ portable micro-pies with over 120 megafillings.  Pies have impacted every part of our lives and society.  Did you know, for example, that a lemon custard pie once served in the United State senate, and helped pass the bill to abolish dinosaurs?  Did you also know that the deep sea blueberry crumbler pie is the reason why English trade with the orient was possible during the middle ages?  Yes, the rich history of pies can be found in anywhere you look, and you can help celebrate today by selecting your favorite pie from the local Crust-Station and Filing Enrichment Center http://www.hubbardavenuediner.com/assets/Uploads/Hubbard/Menus/Current/HUBpieMAYweb.pdf Please help us honor the history and tradition of the majestic pie by selecting one of these little bastards to devour alive. Time is limited, so act now!

 

In base four! I’m fine!

Seriously, always get a second (and third fourth and fifth) opinion.

I got a sms, email, and a letter is apparently on the way, from AT&T yesterday.  It seems that AT&T doesn’t own any cellular infastructure in Dodgeville, where I work.  So any time I use my iPhone in Dodgeville I am using “off-network” data.  The sms/email/letter state that I am using too much data (I’m paying for unlimited data), and that if I continue to use this amount of data my service agreement may be terminated with them.  So… basically they can’t deliver the service I’m paying for.  And they’re going to kick me out.  In 120 days when my situation is “re-evaluated”.  At this point I would be totally ok with that, they’d be doing me a favor.

Item 2 on my “things I hate” list right now is a game publisher called Ubisoft.  Ubisoft will henceforth require an active internet connection to play every single one of their newly published games for the PC, regardless of whether the gameplay would actually require one (all single player games will have this “functionality”).  So if you internet ever goes down, if you are traveling, if your router sneezes, you will be unable to play.  If you are in the middle of a game when your internet hiccups you will get booted from your game.  Ubisoft is now on the list of banned games in my household.  I will be doing what I can to warn people of this disease of a company.
