Planet Geek!: A snack marketed DIRECTLY at ME!

Someone at General Mills totally got this one right. I found these on the shelf while shopping for Arisia this year. "Protein, salty, AND sweet. And I LOVE peanuts!"

Lemme tell ya, they're awesome. Tasty, not too crunchy, not too squooshy, and salty and sweet. Mmmmmmmm. If they had come to me and said "Design a granola bar. What would you want it to taste like?" - this comes pretty durned close.

And, while we're pushing products, I'd like to just point out the massive LURV I have for my new Bose Companion 3 speakers. Bose has a reputation for doing mighty elegant designs, and under normal circumstances I wouldn't be able to afford their gear, but with an in, it becomes more manageable.

I replaced my old set of dying 3-ways with this system, and ZOMG are they schweet. I guess my only real complaint is the speakers are mounted on 5" pedestals, which makes it somewhat difficult to work space around on a crowded desk.

I think I ended up with a reasonable desk compromise though, and I sure can't complain about the sound. Note the above desktop picture is after a massive cleanup and rearranging, my desk is not normally this antiseptic, though I aspire to Star-Trek like geek spartanness some day.

Tasty salty sweet snacks, really good sound, and a clean workspace. Now all I need to do is get some work done, oh look! Day's over! Later all!
