    Last Call for Tiny Bubbles; Don Ho dies

    Never saw him myself - heck, haven't made it to Hawaii yet. But, my parents had, and my dad used to sing "Tiny Bubbles" from time to time.

    Food Network

    The Food Network is the devil… I'll agree. My faves are Good Eats and Iron Chef (Original, but I like America fine as well). Many of the shows don't do much for me, and some actually annoy me (Flay, Emeril, the host from Unwrapped who clearly doesn't really like the food). I think someone...

    What's your favorite martini?

    Heh. But probably better to get two regular sized ones in succession - they stay colder that way!

    Blended vs. Single Malt

    Sad day today… While packing up my Scotch cabinet, I dropped a half full bottle of Aberlour 10 Year Old, smashing it all over the basement floor. Admittedly, the reason it dropped was I was holding it by the top, and the cork snapped (due to drying out), but still - vexing. This is the...

    My new print.

    Let me guess - the final run is to pepper it with a hello kitty stamp? ;) Looking better and better! Nice work!

    How popular was/is your name?

    For the 30's/40's, of course remember that names listed for them are popular baby names during those times. For the typical adult name, go back 20-50 years. My name isn't terribly creative - it's been number one since before I was born. But, at least my parents were going with themes (first...

    A Culture of Snark

    I think it may be hard to judge our own time, vs. previous eras. By the time we are looking back on this time period, perhaps much of the "lesser" snarkyness will have faded from memory, and only the classic pieces - Marx Brothers, etc. - will remain. Then those in a future decade will lament...

    Folding Money

    I suspect what I call a "Yuppie Food Coupon" - a $20 bill. I normally carry around $20-40 cash, but use my ATM card if I can. In fact, I've been getting less cash recently, as I tend to not think about how I'm spending it - kind of the opposite of how others seem to do it. I have a...

    Your signature cocktail.

    Hmmm - this Pisco Sour? Sounds interesting, but I've never seen Pisco, much less the cocktail.

    Computer/Internet Usage

    Fortunately for me, I'm the one who'd be monitoring it. Even more fortunately, my boss is very, very unlikely to be the type to write such a policy.

    Advice on virus protection for my computer.

    It's actually an interesting trade-off. I use Symantec Corporate Edition to protect the machines at work, virus wise. We also have a separate email scanner. At home, I'm using AVG free edition. While the big name pay ones are indeed good - especially in getting updates out (response time)...

    Where did your user name come from??

    Cool - one of my friends was, until lately, a ref for the Seattle (Rat City) Derby girls.

    Chicago - Windy City Hot Spots?

    I'll vote for just general recommendations - looks like I'll be there for a quick overnight, but might have an afternoon to kill.

    Ack! No nice vintage suit - no nice picture. Something to aspire to…

    What's your favorite martini?

    lol lol lol Senator Jack, should I ever meet you, if I don't have a drink with you, I will honestly be tempted to cry.

    Computer/Internet Usage

    Ooops, messed up my vote, then. Actually, I guess it depends - I think of computing as a hobby, so technically, that would be zero time. I answered the top tier, as I spend a lot of time on it at work for work, at work doing things like, well, posting here, at home on hobbies (gaming, posting...

    Your signature cocktail.

    That got me curious - from some marketing material on the internet, which we all know can never, ever lie.

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    I must admit, in the software biz, I tended to dress much like most of the other developers - sneakers, jeans, and t-shirt. The main comment on my dress was that I had a large and interesting collection of t-shirts. I've been slowly upgrading, but still not at the suit level yet. [huh]

    New member, first post

    Greetings and welcome! Glad my local hat store was able to be the gateway stepping stone in your rise on the hat chain! I'm still on my first Stetson (as I'm a 7&5/8th, haven't found a vintage yet). Still working my way around what's available. :)
