Fast lunch does not have to mean fast food. I decided to stop by the local grocery store today instead of going to a drive through for a burger. The grocery has a deli that makes sandwiches to order, and they have a seafood counter that makes fresh sushi every day. I checked out the sushi and was able to get a box with 12 California Rolls for under $6. That’s the same price as a burger and fries, but it tastes better and it better for your health. So that’s my fast lunch today.

The new Internet Explorer release does not impress me any more. I used to really look forward to the new versions – they always seemed to have an assortment of new features that made things faster, easier, more logical, etc. But ever since I switched to Firefox, I could care less what other browsers promise. I’m just not interested in IE or even Google’s new Chrome anymore.

Yahoo Games has a link with their take on what 7 video games “changed the world.”

Their countdown includes:

  1. Pong
  2. Pacman
  3. Doom
  4. Dance Dance Revolution
  5. World of Warcraft
  6. Guitar Hero
  7. Wii Sports

Not sure that I agree with Dance Dance, but if you want to read their reasons for these picks you can read the click show on their site link.

This month started off with a huge cold front that swept half the Nation and dumped snow on people from Oklahoma to Georgia and up the Coast to Maine.

At my house it started sleeting Saturday night around dinner time and by bed time it had changed to snow. So the snow fell on a frozen slick bed of ice and had a nice foundation to make the roads very slippery and dangerous. When I woke up Sunday morning it was still snowing. The ground was covered with snow and ice, but the roads were clear, as the salt trucks did a great job all night.
