The NFL has issued its statement on last night’s Packers-Seahawks game, saying that Golden Tate should have been called for pass interference, but the result of the game will not be reversed.
Read the complete story.


Wow.  What a mess, hate to win/lose a game like that… Time to settle with the refs, you think?

My cousin’s wedding.
The Cabin In The Woods.  Finally saw it.  Classic. Good job Drew Goddard, Joss Whedon and the wonderful cast and crew, exceptional.  And the DVD has the extras, go rent it!  Go on now, rent it!
Anyone else see it?

Train sounds perfect G major triad

I was in disbelief this morning, yet sure enough, it was a 1-3-5 triad, with the D above, the soft G on the bottom, and the loudest note B in the middle.

It’s usually an augmented fourth, right? Almost purposely an augmented fourth, as it is jarring. But not this morning - somebody (conductor?) perhaps had enough and tuned the darned thing, can you imagine?

Has anyone downloaded iOS 6 yet?

Update re the update: love the panorama option in the camera! And the 3D map option, pretty neat-o.

Estrella - Beer from Barcelona.  Yes, we must find this and try.

Designer Enrique Luis Sardi of Sardi Innovationhas come up with something clever. The baked cup is lined with a special icing sugar that makes the cup waterproof (for enough time to drink the espresso anyways) and sweetens the coffee at the same time. The designer claims that it has collected “hundreds of Awards in Ecology, Marketing, Business Strategy and Design sectors.”

On the other hand, espresso is all about speed, you knock it back and go. It is traditionally served in washable cups. So replacing reusable china with a relatively expensive fattening edible cup might not be a step forward.
Michael Coren at Fast Company thinks that edible containers are a bit of a trend. Except that the point of packaging or a cup is to keep your dirty hands separate from the food. I wonder if it is a healthy trend. What do you think?

As a consumer, I would be conscious of the ingredients in said cookie cup.  What kind of cheap sugar are we talking about?  Organic sugar?  What other ingredients?  I don’t want to feel like I just drank a shoe that had been stepped on Bazooka bubblegum, you understand - I would prefer to have my espresso doppio clean and pure as eden, but would give this cookie cup a try at least once.  I guess.  Maybe if it had booze in it?
