moth: cute cute comment from my friend's little daughter: Amira, today, after closely inspecting her pineapple-scented bubble bottle: "This says 'Made In China'. Someday, I'm going to go all the way to China and thank ALL the China people for these pineapple bubbles." |

| personal geographies: some airplanes I've been on |

I knew for a while that there were web sites that would show you the current locations of planes in flight, but I only recently found out that some of them also have archives going back several years where you can look up the routes of old flights if you can dig up the flight number and date. So, thanks to fboweb, here is where some of the planes that I've been on went:
I had no idea I had flown between northern and southern California so many times. Apparently I used to be a lot more comfortable with flying than I am now. |

| the grocery store with the best computers |
[Jul. 6th, 2009|07:33 pm] |
One of the reasons I'm such a packrat is that every one in a while, something that I read a long time ago will percolate to the top of my mind, and it's nice to be able to be able to grab whatever it was off the shelf and read it again. But that doesn't help me if what I read was in somebody's blog somewhere and I can't find it any more.
What I'm thinking about right now was somebody's blog entry about how the UK has regulations about what hours grocery stores can be open that are intended to help little mom-and-pop stores at the expense of big chain supermarkets. But since you can't write a law that says exactly that, what they have instead is one saying that stores under 2500 square feet can stay open late and stores larger than that have to close early. Actually it used metric units instead of square feet, but you get the idea.
The blog entry went on to say that the unintended consequence of the law is that it does not actually cause mom-and-pop stores to automatically do better than big chain supermarkets; instead it causes the chains to try to operate stores smaller than 2500 square feet so they can stay open late too. And, says the blog, it is very difficult to run a full-service supermarket in a space of this size (even a smallish normal supermarket is about ten times as big), so inventory management is very important, so the chain that does the best is the one with the best computers. Naturally I can't remember which chain it is that has the best computers.
Does this ring a bell with anybody else? |

From http://www.critical-hits.com/2009/07/02/origins-2009-exhibit-hall-in-words-pictures-and-sounds/
"Hellas I had never heard of, being described to us as “300 in Space” and using a really great sounding Fate mechanic that allows you to do awesome things... but when you run out, your fate has come to pass. After checking it out, we were told by Monte Cook that it was one of the coolest things he had seen at the show... Hellas is an amazingly put together product, which marries great production values (especially for a small company) with a unique setting and very interesting sounding mechanics." |
