iMonk

So here is a newstory that caught my eye ... http://www.cnbc.com/id/48778287 I know as stories go this one is up there beyond the Galaxy on the 5th storey or so claims the monk with intimate knowledge of the beyond. Something even the late Mr. Jobs could not see.. or could he? Maybe he was early (when he was not late) to a lot of ideas and hence he did. Now of course take the monks claim with grains of rice (salt sounds too unhealthy) since they are merely claims. However if this angelic existence were to be believed then perhaps it is fair to assume that the new book of Jobs will contain secrets to help the earthling 'Cook' something more exciting than what was offered to the consuming public before. The OS would be renamed iMonk and would be confounding to the serious technogeeks. OS is what makes the device come alive and work. The rest as they say is simply make believe. The monastic experience is already winning court battles it would appear from the latest US verdict where a Korean competitor no less was ordered to pay the wise man's company over a $1B. That should help the Koreans go back to their prayer halls and do some Galactic searching to come up with a new Kimchi.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
