Exciting news for the tech world: Google has released Google Fonts API. What does this mean for you? This is a easy way for you use different fonts than the same old fonts that have been around since the start of modern browsers. Adding fonts other than web compatible browser fonts has been annoying and tedious in the past. Not anymore with what I’ll call them, “google fonts” – really though, they are open source fonts. Amazing, once again, thank you Google for making our tech lives easier and broadening the web! Can’t wait for the library to grow and use more cool fonts.
Since moving back to Minnesota I must say there are certain things missing here that I grew accustomed to living on the west coast. One of them happens to be In N Out Burger.
Today for lunch I was invited to check out Five Guys Burger and Fries. I thought maybe, just maybe, it might kind of compare to the deliciousness of In N Out Burger? No way. Not even close. Other than the Juicy Lucy there is nothing in the midwest that compares with In N Out.
These two burger companies I’m comparing are actually kind of coastal rivals. In N Out from the west coast, Five Guys Burgers from the East coast. A lot of other facts you can review on each companies website (under history). But, for now I leave disappointed with just about everything about 5 Guys Burgers: Not as tasty as IN N Out, Slow Service, missed parts of what I asked for on my burger, bad fries, slow service considering there were actually more like 20 guys working there, loud and annoying in there, greasy to-go bag, and also, really not worth the $10.15 for the regular which should be called the double and the regular fries which is so much bad, greasy fries in your paper bag there really is room for nothing else.
Oh, In N Out, when are you coming to the midwest. Please, save us.
I heard about this topic a little while back and think it’s really cool what people are doing with this technology. I definitely expect to see more of this in the future.
Street art in Dubai, I’ve been to Dubai and the opening shots are a great example of what it looks like, although I have seen better projection art, the following video has some good shots and good music:
Follow the rabbit. Pretty cool what they’re doing in this video.
More to come,

My girlfriend and I choose Stellas tonight for dinner over Red Lobster. Poor choice, really poor choice.
Mainly what we were hoping for is lobster as good as we had when we vacationed in Florida a couple of weeks ago. Stellas lobster was no where near that. It was absolutely disgusting. 0 out of 5 stars for the lobster. If you go here I implore you, don’t order the lobster.
Why, you might ask? Well, for one, this was the smallest lobster tail I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s printed on the menu as a 1 and 1/4 pound lobster tail from Maine. What it was more like is a craw fish from Louisiana. If that wasn’t bad enough when we finished the several bites from the lobster tail was the guts. Probably about 1 pound of this lobster was guts. Gross.
Stellas has always left a good impression in the past. Delicious oysters and a nice happy hour (at least that much remains). Tonight was totally imperfect. Not the stellas I remember. Maybe because it’s the start of spring break that this night was so bad but it was loud enough in there tonight to the point I feel like I’m def now after trying to have a good dinner. Prices were really high. Staff was unprofessional. I still have the stamp on my wrist from where I was carded at the door. Really, if you want a good dinner, especially if you want a good lobster dinner, Stellas Fish Cafe is not the place. I really hope someday they can bring back the classiness to this place. Well, hey, at least we got a good laugh watching the security carrying a couch past our table tonight as we dined.
