Sometimes, people, you’ve still got to remember the wonder.

Wow, welcome to the present, Xanga. Took you long enough. -_-

Harney and Sons makes some fabulous tasting tea (and they smell good too)! I like! The teas come in these cute little mesh bags which are good because they supposedly offer more flavor and tea-ness. Whatever. The bag is neat though.

I can’t understand why anybody would want to use Yahoo! Music’s new lyrics database. The lyrics are provided as a courtesy from Gracenote, the same company that owns CDDB. Anyway, the lyrics show up, but the stupid thing is that you can’t select the lyrics because they seem to be blocked by some invisible image (much like Flickr does for their images sometimes). Yeah, why would anybody use Yahoo! Music’s lyrics database when you can easily just Google the same results just as quickly?

I often think in this way.

How awesome is this Mario Kart remote control car?

Geez! Spiderman 3 is only days away from being released in theaters and already there are reports that Spiderman 4-6 — yep, that’s Spiderman 4, Spiderman 5, and Spiderman 6 — are already confirmed by Sony. Wow, can Sony milk this franchise any more than they already are? Gosh.

This is interesting. The Twin Towers Diaspora is a look at where some of the companies in the former World Trade Center towers have moved to after 9/11. A lot of the companies seemed to have remained in or around the financial district. But also, a lot of the companies have moved up to the area right below Central Park. Is that the new pseudo-financial district? Who knows.
Other things to note: one company, The Beast.comm, has moved to Canada. A select few have chosen New Jersey as their new headquarters. [via]

Wonder Bread! by lijewski

I love Wonder Bread, so much so that I once owned a Wonder Bread tee. I find this New York Times article about the inherent wonders of Wonder Bread really amusing. I mean, if there ever was a food product that deserved such sweet praise, I think Wonder Bread would definitely be it.
Here’s some parts I found delightful to read:

As I write this, a loaf of Wonder Bread sits beside me, growing steadily smaller. For a mass-produced product, what a delicate creation! I’ve left a half-eaten piece on my desk for 20 minutes and it has already gone stale. One bite, though, and the heat of my mouth melted it right back to freshness. No, I don’t find that scary. I find it magical.

Which brings me to another point: to toast fresh Wonder Bread is a crime against nature. The fresh Wonder Bread experience, something like eating Play-Doh shot through with air and flavored with milk, cannot be truly appreciated when it assumes a form other than squishy. (Except perhaps as French toast when the edges get delectably crispy.)

And the article ends nicely, with this one simple line:

All I’m saying is that sometimes, people, you’ve still got to remember the wonder.

I’ll admit, I sometimes sit and just eat plain Wonder Bread. It’s too good to pass up. Yum!

And uh…if you want your baby to look like a loaf of Wonder Bread, then your dreams can now be a reality with this Wonder Bread loaf baby costume. Yikes, that’s just scary.
By the way, this is a nice “vintage” Wonder Bread tee. It’s quite different than most “vintage” tees of the same sort I see around town.

And if you’re as crazy about Wonder Bread as I am, then maybe you should pick up the Wonder Bread Cookbook. It’s got some incredibly delicious recipes in there. You can come over to my house and ask to see it. But don’t bother asking to borrow it. I won’t let you.

Oh, just a reminder that those You Don’t Know Jack episodes are being released on a regular weekly basis. So if you haven’t been playing, maybe you should!
