Tidbits
Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…
A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles. I wanna play!

A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

Will trade beer for Crumpler bags. Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

July 18, 2007 | Geek |
I attended a lecture by Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++ today at UW. It was sponsored by the UW CS Club. Now, do you think I know who that guy was, or even who the inventor of C++ is? The answer is no, I have no clue. …
