• 112 Eatery
  Just made an awesome sandwich: breakfast sausage patty fried until it's golden brown, slice of cheese, and a little bit of Sriracha sauce on a whole wheat English muffin. Hat tip to 112 Eatery in Minneapolis, though — they have a bacon, egg, and harissa sandwich that's awesome, and if I had bacon or [good] eggs on hand I might have tried for that. The spicy thing is the knockout punch, though. If you're in Minneapolis I recommend that place. Was there with a bunch of friends the first time and we ordered just about one of everything and split them all. MMMM.

  "EA is giving away Command & Conquer games to celebrate the release of Command & Conquer 4. You can download any or all of these three games…" I played C&C a long time ago, downloading them right now to relive my youth! :-)

• Prius owners blame wild rides on cruise control – CNN.com
  I think CNN interviewed a bunch of people who have no idea how their car works. For instance: "The car came to a stop on the shoulder of the road. An overwhelming battery smell wafted through the inside of the car, he said." That'd be a brake smell… Or: "When the car stopped, the two front brakes 'had a red glow to them,' he said." Yeah, stop rapidly any time and your brakes may glow. Friction causes heat. Or: "He frantically pushed the power button. It didn't respond." If you'd read your manual you'd find out that you need to push and HOLD it for three seconds, and that's intentional so that you don't bump it during normal operations. READ YOUR MANUAL (which, to CNN's credit, is what the end of the article suggests, especially given the changes to the way the cruise control works on the 2010 models).
