It’s going to be nice and toasty this week. Humidity has been around 30%. Low humidity and high temperatures are conditions in which grass fires can become very dangerous very fast. Please be careful out there! Never throw a lit cigarette out of the window (that’s why there’s an ashtray in your vehicle) because they can also spark grass fires. Be careful with outdoor grills as embers can fly away and spark fires. If you have a spigot outside, leave a hose attached to it with a spray nozzle that you can turn on if you have to extinguish a grass fire in your yard. If possible, get enough hose to reach your whole yard.
And of course, make sure that your smoke detectors are working and there is a fire extinguisher handy.

I just noticed this earlier – Microsoft Security Essentials will scan downloads in real time. I’m sure other anti virus applications do the same thing, but it’s nice to see that Microsoft didn’t screw this one up. You have visual feedback that it’s doing something while downloading your file, which is nice.
I was downloading Firefox 3.5, which came out recently. I’m going to write my thoughts on it a little bit later.

I have no idea where to buy one, or if it’s even street legal in Texas, but one of these looks like a lot of fun. It probably gets better gas mileage than my current vehicle, even with the oversized tires. It looks like it would be fun to take on a trail with a bunch of Jeeps.

Ok, someone in the San Jose, California area… go to Tony Di Maggio’s, get a picture of the stromboli, and then tell me what is in it. I used to get them all the time and figured that’s just how strombolis were made. I can’t find anything like it here in Texas, but I did find a local pizza place that said they’d make a custom one for me if I gave them a list of ingredients.
Help me, Internet. I must have some stromboli love. The Di Maggio’s strombolis are absolutely delicious. The Yelp review says “cheese, ham, salami, sausage, mustard” but I have the feeling that there was more in the thing than that. I thought there was sausage. I used to work for a nearby ambulance company and my partner and I would go there quite often. More than once, we walked into an emergency room with a patient and didn’t realize that we were covered in marinara sauce. The strombolis were easy enough to eat on the run and could feed two people.
That’s one of the things that I miss about the Silicon Valley. That, and Clarke’s in Mountain View, CA. Best burgers ever.
If anybody has any recommendations for similar places in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, let me know!
