We ended up grabbing a cinnabon, side note the employee couldn’t do math. I gave her 50.11 on a 8.11 item, so 42 for change but since she entered 50 and I then gave her the 11 cents after the register showed 41.89 and she looked like a deer with headlines on her. Ugh, is our school system failing us?

Ok back to the healthy food approach. Bob suggested why not have a deli, could it be that hard, or does healthy fast-food not scale? Are the margins on a bigmac versus a fresh deli sandwich that has bread, meat, cheese, and condiments that different?.

Thinking about this a bit more, Subway is considered the most healthy choice for fast food, basically a glorified deli. How can this be, seriously?!

Living in NYC you get to eat at some great food places as well as some divy types. Near where I live fun lunch spot named Switchfood is basically a gourmet deli located in Chelsea as well as a secondary location near wall street. It reminds me of Vermont sandwich company another glorified deli that can be a healthy alternative. So where does fast food and health leave you? Can healthy fast food scale? If I was going to get into the model of building a food company, outside of a Mexican chain food establishment in NYC as NYC doesn’t have good mexican food, a healthy fast-food business would be next on my list.

So with that, maybe McD’s can prove me wrong and provide healthy alternatives in the near future. America is FAT as the obesity epidemic of twinkees falling from the sky is killing us… or is it just the options of food while we travel?

I really wanted to bust out some thoughts that I had as it’s becoming very scary to be an American. 3 wars, bloated programs, high taxes, and seeing people making a living being a ass of themselves for millions of dollars (the ‘sit’, Johnny Knoxville, etc.) American Fail!

American’s need to WAKE UP.

Become a leader, make a real change today! We need to push back on our government and take them on the same way startups take on big business. I know I am going to be and pushing for some real Hope and Change (wtf Obama!) with this next election.

Tonight at Hoboken TechMeetup, I got a chance to listen to Alex Torpey a 23-year-old mayoral candidate, running for Village President in South Orange, NJ this spring! Talk about REAL CHANGE! This young up and comer is leveraging social and technology in big ways. Although I don’t live in South Orange, I am really excited to see what happens with him and how he can change politics for the better.

Hopefully I can do a mind dump tomorrow night and get more of this startup/big business government/politics comparison really going.

The other day I was playing around with some of the settings on my iPhone when I realized that you can have different search engines as your default search for safari. I quickly noticed that you only have 2 options: Google or Yahoo.

I was a bit shocked and amazed since I have never noticed this nor heard any Microsoft people complain about this or any other search engine (Ask? Mahalo?)

I wonder if this was just a jab at Microsoft for all the past history between Microsoft and Apple.

So last night while at the grocery store I had a simple recipe stuck in my head and I picked up all of the 4 (yes count them) 4 ingredients. Okay Okay, so maybe 6 if you count milk and butter, but those are just ingredients you already have in the house (hopefully). Also the milk and butter add a bit more flavor and taste, so you could always do without them.

1 package of chorizo
1 package of 4 Cheese Mexican
1 box of elbow pasta
1 bag of peas

You just need to cook and slice the chorizo. Boil water and add pasta, once done add cheese (optional milk and butter) then stir. Now add those peas. Once all has been melted add the chorizo and your done.

For all you food porn addicts, you should end up with something like this. For all those entrepreneurs out there, this is some home cookin cheap eats. Enjoy!

So the pic above is a clip from the music video below, this just screams get rid of your US Dollars. Invest, Now! As Robert says cash is trash, we need to stop investing in paper or put it into “savings”, the US Dollar is worth nothing, invest in Gold and Silver! I know I will be! The other point I want to make on this topic is the fact that our US dollar is not even backed by Gold or Silver. I wouldn’t get into the concept of how you can create more US dollars from nothing, but just look at asking for your credit cards to raise your limit, if they do and you max out your credit card. Boom! You just created more US dollars in our economy. It’s a crazy thing money, but seriously, how funny is it that the US Dollar is taken out of a Rap Music Video!

Enjoy!

Well I have been meaning to post a couple of reviews of recent purchases like my prius and my aeron. I also have a couple of books I read that I need to post up on the geek guru book club. I am currently trying to get some code out the door and launch something! Ugh, so many things so little time.

Oh, and for those people who are still reading, stop by again, like next week and I will have a couple more posts.

Living the past 4 years in Vermont I thought I could name at least 10 different types of snow as well as know how much you can get. Well this afternoon I got this link from a friend and was blown away, I had to blog about it.Have you ever seen so much snow?

Heres the Funny..

Which do you choose, religion or life? Well, I found it funny, but its Darwinism at its best. If you are still looking for a funny links, check out which Vista Operating System should you buy?

As many “Faithful” people know last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday the start of lent.
A church in New Mexico got a bit more then a time to give up something. CNN reports Police blow up foul-mouthed CDs that blared in Church. It looks liike 3 CD Players were hidden under the pews blasting explicit lyrics and sexual content. The chuch members removed the CD players and called the Police. The Police called in the Bomb Squad. (Are you serious?!?! No, it gets better) After the Bomb Squad blew up 2 of the CD players, they plan to test the third for “fingerprints or DNA”. This just reminds me of the famous summer of Sex for Sam (Thanks O and A!)

Video Games have always been a part of my generation, but they are now growing to other more “older” generations. As many of you know I had to Social Engineer a Wii only to receive the Wii Elbow from all that intensive playing. The DailyTech is reporting that Wii Invades Retirement Home. Yes our Grandparents are playing the same video games that our generation and younger generations are enjoying. Nintendo has build a video game system that is now for ALL AGES. Its funny to think that people at a retirement home are not only using the Wii for exercise but also for social interactions among residents. I think it is time to start getting some Wii Bowling shirts and hosting a Grandparent, Grandchild Wii Sport Event! Who’s with me?
