Back, sorry

  • Luis: I still can’t believe it! Holy shit congrats again.
  • SimpleDB is built on Erlang!
  • Does anybody know of anything awesome in Scranton? No The Office jokes, please.
  • Prodigy of Mobb Deep’s My World Is Empty Without You is amazing. He claims his forefathers built pyramids on Mars – I missed you! H.N.I.C. 2 = most anticipated new album.
  • Via Louis I’ve become a huge fan of Ben Croshaw’s, uh, video game podcast or whatever you want to call it. The Peggle one is particularly funny.
  • You know what I bought that’s hippyish but I’m kind of in love with? This Sigg bottle. It holds about the same amount of water as a disposable plastic bottle, but it’s not disposable and has a pleasing form. It’s aluminum on the outside with some kind of non-leaching taste neutral liner inside. I’m unhappy about the plastic waste generated by water bottles AND pissed about their cost versus the tap, so this was a perfect little gift to myself.
  • There’s this fan-translated manga I’ve been reading that I like a lot – Historie, by Hitoshi Iwaaki – part fiction, part fact, it’s about the travels and development of Eumenes of Cardia, who would become Alexander the Great’s archivist. I’m a sucker for the ancient world.

    I love the Sigg bottle – where did you get it? I want to get one for me and Steve.

    Also, congrats to Louis for what?

    xoxo

    WHICH SISTER?

    Just kidding. You can get the Sigg bottle at that link; use the code “BiterVIP30″ with no quotes at checkout for 30% off. Keep in mind that it’s small, just 12 ounces or so.

    (I was congratulating Luis, not Louis.)

    Thanks for the code – so what did Luis do – can you say? Either way I want to know.
