Today came with a discovery of a great Indian restaurant: Daabha Indian Cafe, located at 2772 Cumberland Blvd. The cafe is in the small shopping plaza on the left past the intersection of Spring Road and Cumberland, just past McDonald’s.

Today I had “diced chicken with red peppers”, and when they say “red peppers”, they really mean it. The food itself was excellent, and the buttered naan bread was absolutely wonderful. Overall, the little restaurant was very clean and tidy, and the service was very quick. A meal will costs more than fast food, at around $10 a plate, but the large portions and wonderful flavorings are well worth the price. If you’re in North Atlanta and looking for Indian cuisine, I highly recommend you stop by.

Now I can get my morning caffeine hit via my soap. I love living in the future.

Ooh, fun with Google:

With Google sets, you enter a few related items, and Google will attempt to find more items in that set. For example, I listed several industrial bands: VNV Nation, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Laibach, and Coil, and Google returned this expanded set.

Another nice Google feature eliminates the need to wait on sites with slow or nonexistent search functions. In Google’s search box, append site:sitename to your query, and Google will only return results from that site. For example, if you enter your query as “site:www.orbyn.com hair fudge” (note no http://), you’ll get an interesting result from Robyn‘s page, as well as giving her lots of interesting search referrals.

So, what do you do if you have 56 Quake 3-playing friends and a lot of time on your hands?

Oh look, Daniel got his own Bus Line.

Hey kids! Now it’s time to slather Unxmaal.com all over your car! Or your forehead.

It’s a pretty weird day when you wake up one afternoon and realize you’re living in the future.

I’m quite glad I had Jeff’s camera this morning. If you havent seen the Yatta Craziness, check out the Original Works, then check out What I Saw this morning. Needless to say, I was laughing my arse off.

So, not only can Wired not ship my subscribed-for magazines, they can’t maintain editorial integrity either!

After all the attention yesterday regarding Danit Lidor’s shoddy journalism, it seems the wording of the original article has changed:

“At Word’s ISP, API Digital, Rod Montgomery, chief geek, professed no knowledge about the company’s campaign."

Hey kids! Welcome to the Internet, where everything you read can be changed, and where everything you write can be held against you.
