Memories About Tortilla Chips and Black 78's






Back in the day, my great-aunt Rosa S. used to Bake 78 records

She baked them for Art's Sake.  She would put them in an oven, balanced on a bowl I guess, and turned up the heat. 

A little bit later the round black disc would curl up and sink to the bottom of the bowl  leaving a black flower like shape.

This she would paint and decorate with glitter and such and make gift-giving decorations

That was many many years ago.


I haven't tought about that in years until I saw a new "Bag of Chips" my son brought home from his last shopping day.




Looking at the New Shaped Dipping Chip I said to myself: 


"I've seen this before...." 



And with that, the great-aunt story about Rosa came to the surface.

Memories can taste pretty good.

It's a bird, it's a plane -- it's Dart, Google's soon-to-be-released computer language for structured web programming. Having hoarded dart-related URLs for the past couple of months, Google's confirmed the (previously) secret project on the Goto International Software Development Conference Website. 

====================

Dart makes a nice addition to Go, JavaScript and Python in Google's coding bag-o-tricks, but there's room for one more --  Spot.

LBK Post Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 1 with New Alt+Tab Login Screen and Firefox 7



ubuntu 11.10 beta 1



 

The first beta version of Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot has landed right on time, and if everything goes to plan a second beta build will be released on September 22, and the final build will emerge on October 13. If you’re still a believer in version numbers, the most significant change is the inclusion of 
Linux kernel 3.0.3.
