Dear John...

Serving quite a blow to our office which has made Taco Tuesday a weekly event, we found out today (of all days) that the Dinkydome Taco John's is closed for the summer. :( There was only a note written in blue highlighter stating as much and a thanks to their customers. Our Tuesdays are now ruined.

Log Browsing

And the winner for the most confusing search query to find the blog so far: giant heart created from keyboard characters. Second on the list as of right now.

Hockey + Will It Blend = Princess Diana?

YouTube sent me a friendly reminder this morning about new videos in my channel subscriptions. I only keep an eye on two channels. The NHL channel hasn't been all that active during the off-season, so that had to mean there was another BlendTec "Will It Blend?" episode. (My interest in Will It Blend? was recently reinvigorated after they tested the iPhone's blendability.)

Videos to Di for

Alas, neither channel had new videos. Instead, YouTube wanted to let me know that there were newly posted videos in the "princessdianaislove" channel to which I had supposedly subscribed. We've been known to watch and link to some fairly random videos in the nerd room, but I'm fairly sure this was the first time I've ever seen that channel before.

Obviously something went awry in the code that generated the e-mail. Usually you can piece something together from stuff you've previously looked at. For example, when you've been recommended something completely oddball at Amazon you can usually find out what it used to generate the recommendation. But not this time. The least they could have done was default to something like the debate videos from last night rather than a random pull from the database.
