Lunch Bits - Edition 14

We went to Foothill Ranch and Avila’s El Ranchito in the past two weeks. The days were warm and sunny when we talked about:

Wii multiplayer over the internet: Here’s an illustration why it’s not there yet.
Xbox Live has a good network and server infrastructure. Took advantage of their 1 year lead in the business.
Apparently there are a lot to see in Seattle, not just Starbucks.
The famous “main” street in Vancouver is Robson St.
Cox charges extra fees for cable modem installation that customers can do themselves. Apparently Cox sucks.
Facebook and LinkedIn: some of us use it, some of us don’t.
Last weekend April 12-13 weather was scorching heat (felt like 90 degrees).
Is Sprint Mobile Broadband faster than Cox cable modem in Newport Beach? Don’t know for sure until we can use the card again and test with their broadband speed test site.
Teenagers these days are doing Britney Photo poses. Like my nieces have done, for example.
Power Line Network. LK couldn’t get it work reliably.
Lectures are being videotaped and made available in the library. Does this lead to undisciplined kids by giving them another reason not attend lectures?
Mercedes new C-Class: LK and Miss J. like it.

We’re planning to go to Vancouver via Seattle. I know a couple of people with local knowledge, so it should be a no brainer. But who knows, when we get there the first thing we’ll do is probably find a few good restaurants and hang around them. We’re not that adventurous.

lol Is it that you don’t want to be adventurous or that you couldn’t be bothered? If I had the money, I’d be visiting a different city every other weekend!

I guess both can’t be bothered and not adventurous. I always go to places where I know someone there. That way they can recommend good spots to go and not waste time looking around. But, like you said, if I have the money, I will also stay longer and explore everything.
