[Friday Joke] A woman’s poem: He didn’t like the casserole, And he didn’t like my cake. He said my biscuits were too hard not like his mother used to make. I didn’t make the coffee right. He didn’t like my stew. I didn’t fold his pants, the way his mother used to do. I pondered for an answer. I was looking for a clue. Then I turned around and smacked the shit out of him. Like his mother used to do. |

[This Week’s Sick and Shut Down List] Viva Saloon, 903 Duval St., Key West: Routine inspection, 16 total violations, four High Priority violations. It took us to the last restaurant, the first in a while from the Keys, to get to the usually much more common “Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine/bin.” The inspector counted over 50 pieces of rodent regularity in a dry storage area that had single service items and a reach-in freezer with raw beef.” “Observed employee engaging in food preparation and not washing hands after changing tasks.” But the cookline handwash sink was “not accessible for employee use at all times.” And, workers who got to the handwash sink and washed their hands didn’t have a quick way to dry without rubbing them on their shirts or pants. “During the routine inspection, the walk-in cooler was running at 50 degrees.” Link |

[Private Libraries] I read the eBook, but I liked the book so much I wanted the hard copy. The fact is, I will likely never read this book, even though I did enjoy it. I bought the book because I like having a visual, tangible record of the time this book and I spent together. I like scanning my shelves and seeing proof of a rich reading life. I like the way a roomful of books makes me feel about myself. Besides, I tell myself, there are worse ways to spend money. |

[What’s In A Name] How do people’s names differ around the world, and what are the implications of those differences on the design of forms, databases, ontologies, etc. for the Web? People who create web forms, databases, or ontologies are often unaware how different people’s names can be in other countries. They build their forms or databases in a way that assumes too much on the part of foreign users. Link |

![]() A week later the same guy sticks his head in the shop and asks, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looks around the shop and says, “About an hour and a half.” The guy leaves. The barber looks over at a friend in the shop and says, “Hey, Bill, follow that guy and see where he goes.” In a little while, Bill comes back into the shop laughing hysterically. The barber asks, “Bill, where did that guy go when he left here?” Bill looks at him and says, “To your house.” |
