salt cereal

honey nut happy o-shaped oat cereal has been prevalent in the corporate kitchen, so i decided that bringing milk to work is a good idea. breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, so i figured i should start eating it again.
today i brought my own liter of milk, labeled it with name and date, played a quick game of fridge tetris, and walked over to the snack dispensers to weigh my options.
hooray for breakfast!
only three of the five containers are filled with edibles.
choices this week are pretzels, cheese crackers and popcorn.
sigh.

funky algorithms

i was perusing cnet and amazon for a new set of 2.1 computer speakers since my personal speakers are broken and not produced anymore. actually i'm not sure if the company even exists anymore. i've had two sets, both of which have lasted over 5 years with no problems. my speakers in philly only stopped functioning because of a fatal run-in with gravity and a wood floor.
sometimes i just don't understand where these recommendations come from. you're usually so good, amazon, but not today.
i don't usually shop for audio equipment and dental hygiene products on the same day, but that's just me.
