For purposes of the bacon field trip I'm declaring foie gras an equivalent of bacon and concomitantly that dinner at La Folie was a success.

The cardamom gelato, while strictly speaking not a pork product, was quite tasty and a refreshing counterpoint to the hog.

Kindle DX is awesome. Already loaded up with PDFs of technical papers. If I had only had one of these babies in grad school...

Eagerly awaiting delivery of a Kindle DX. Two new gadgets in one week == goodness.

My desire to own Palm Pre has almost completely waned after failing to secure one before purchasing a new iPhone. Schade.

Back to the Saturday routine. Starting with breakfast at Gunther's. Book store up next. Home is good.

Got a new 3Gs at the subsidized price. Thanks AT&T for doing the right thing for iPhone fans.

Come on AT&T. Why are you charging existing customers $200 more than newbies to get a 3Gs? Lame lame lame.

Snow Leopard. Awesome. iPhone OS 3.0. Awesome. iPhone 3Gs. Awesome. AT&T's lack of MMS and tethering. Umm. Not awesome.

No Pre's where I'm at. I may lose interest depending on what's announced at WWDC today. Advice: don't have shortages if you're not #1.

Nobuyuki Tsujii took the Gold at the Cliburn. He gave a bunch of great performances. His 2nd mvmt of the Rach 2 was really impressive.

Bing vanity search fail. I'm #2 on Google, but not even on the first Bing page for [kevin scott]. Tsk tsk Bing.

[michael jackson's middle name] is better on Bing than Google. Bing has sitelinks for smurf.com on [smurfs]. Bing FTW on 80's pop icons.

It would be hard for the refs on the Orlando game tonight to suck any worse.

@Speroman Shannon and I are enjoying the playoffs too this year. Go Orlando.

So far it's Tsujii Nobuyuki for me at the Cliburn 2009. I'm a sucker for Chopin's op 10 and Nobuyuki's interpretation was impressive.
