Bored at work....keep me company!
hertarget (me): vegetarian tacos sound like a fail, no matter how you slice it a taco needs meat. The idea of a meatless taco makes my skin crawl. It is clever to try and sell to hippies but a real taco has meat, i think a vegetarian taco should be called a aco minus the t. It is just not a complete taco so there for it loses some credit and thus the letter t.
On a different topic, but not really, is anyone thinking of ice cream tacos? The choco shell makes it not just a food but science.
w00t (random internet person): choco tacos ftw
however, what about replacing the meat in a taco with some tofu type deal for vegans? i have had curry like this from the jamaican ital spots, and its delicious (im a big meat eater btw)
hertarget (me): ofu is not acceptable as a taco meat no. i will not allow it. nope. sorry. not tofu. taco gods decline your request.
Choco Taco is the shit and the win......
w00t (random internet person): i must admit, this made me chuckle
ihearttacos (david): For the biggest question of the thread, tacos vs. chaco tacos. Thoughts?
w00t (random internet person): tacos > choco tacos > taco salad
A BoxBot's Favorite iPhone Apps
One of my most used iPhone apps as of late has been Momento. Think of it as a daily journal/writing app. It keeps track of tweets and FaceBook status updates, even your LastFM account. Momento is also a very nice looking app. For me Momento is a great app to keep all those thoughts that I do not share with the World Wide Web. Momento does this in a very well designed and easy to use interface....

Another Late Night
Seems this is an on going theme. This late into the night working and finishing projects and don’t forget the school work. One day I will be able to get this all done before the sun sets, maybe if I were to awake before noon this might happen. In order for me to awake before noon I would need to go to bed before 4 am. Damn this vicious circle.
To easy the night and have a little bit of...

iPhone 4.0 Hope: Background Tools via launchd
balanon:
quatermain:
A lot of people want to run apps in the background on the iPhone, but I believe that Apple has some very legitimate concerns about the feasibility of doing so, at least on the current hardware platforms. However, I believe that there is a perfectly valid way of accommodating most developers’ background-execution needs. This system is called ‘launchd’, and I believe it...
