I break windows of all sort
I managed to break the passenger side window in my dads truck that I was borrowing. Not sure how exactly, it just shattered when I shut the door.
Any recomendations for window replacement in the Raleigh area? Campus area even better.
Supperlatives
Per a discussion with margarita-5, I present a short
list of my “Best X Food In The Raleigh, NC Area”
Best Hushpuppies: Ole Time Barbecue.
Not only do they taste the best, they are free with the meal, and all you can eat. And I can eat a lot of them.
Best Sushi: Sushi Tsune
Pretty much everyone disagrees with me on this one, but I like it. Sushi Blues is probably second place.
Best Burger: Chargrill
That was easy. Mojoe’s in second.
Best Thai: Thai Villa
If you include RTP, I’d say the thai place in rtp whose name I can never remember. Helpful aren’t I?
Best Pizza: Capital Creations
In particular, the pesky chicken (chicken on a pesto pizza). Second place to Lillys.
Best place to get a pound or two of deep fried shrimp for lunch: Farmers Market restaurant
More as I think of them.
the tubes, they are yours, no?

Is there anyway to properly format an ipod as windows/fat from a mac? or from linux?
So far, the answer seems to be no.
Trans Am is playing with Zombi and Pshyic Paramount tonight at Local 506.
Should be an interesting show. Anyone going?

font people scare me
I was reading a thread on metafilter about which font one should use for a resume. I assumed the response would be “It does not matter”, but no, the font people are out in force. Dozens of responses of which particular font to use.
I am not a font person. I don’t really get it. Fonts pretty much all look the same to me. Sure, I can see obvious stuff like serif/san-serif or grunge fonts or other obvious elements. But of any of the normal fonts, they don’t really matter. I almost always just use whatever the default font is for whatever app/desktop/os I’m using.
I suspect the fontophilia some people seem to exhibit has some form of synthesia at it’s roots. Or perhaps, it’s just one more random thing for people to be geeks and snobs[1] about. Font choice seems to have the combination of being essentially arbitrary in nature, while offering plenty of opportunities for hyperbole (“omg! you freaking moron! Times New Roman is unreadable! Are you blind or just public schooled?”) that makes it a perfect target for snobbery.
[1] For years I’ve threatened to start a blog about the various levels of snobbery and the people who provide it. I could compare and contrast people dedication and aesthetic ethic and lambaste those whose snobbery does not meet my high standard and studied critical eye. I would be a snob snob.
