I have a few minutes before a late meeting (curse you Australia people for not working US hours!). Anyway, at the end of my day the other day, I noticed that I had a few web pages open. These were pages that I meant to look at and read but did not quite get to due to the busy day. Here is what was left...
- http://www.skodalaura.co.in - I was IM'ing with a new coworker that is located in Bangalore, India. He (or I guess a she, not sure based on the name) was telling me that their father had purchased a new car over the weekend. I had never heard of the Skoda Laura so I found the website. All I could gather before abandoning the page was that the motor was a diesel.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smore - I was IM'ing with another coworker (this one was in Cordoba, Argentina) and trying to explain that we had gone to a cook out that ended with us making s'mores. I could not describe the technique so I sent him this link. Amazing what I did not know about this tasty treat.
- http://news.google.com/news?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=slim+jim+factory+production - I had heard somewhere about the ONLY Slim Jim factory coming back online after being down for something like a month. When I was at the gas station the other day, I did not think to see if the price of Slim Jims was up due to supply and demand economics. I did not find a news article with the level of detail that I wanted.
- http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/27/opinion/27harris.html - I like reading Sam Harris. I saw from another feed that he had written and article for the NY Times. I think I made it through 2 paragraphs.
- http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-56385566-raqueta-head-liquidmetal-heat-antivibrador-head-funda-_JM - A link provided from (yet another) IM session (this time with someone in Buenos Aires) and he was telling me he was selling his tennis racquet online. This must be the Argentina equivalent of eBay. The pricing is in Argentinean Pesos (about 3.85 = $1 US) if you are interested.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
