Today I had the good fortune to run into two interesting blogs that I enjoyed reading. The first one is The adventures of the Accordion Guy, the blog of Joey deVilla, who in wikipedia features as an accordionist, and who I had never heard of before. I particularly enjoyed these two posts.
The other is Let The Good Times Roll by Guy Kawasaki, who I also had never heard of before. He had some very good advice about schmoozing and emails. Thanks Guy!

I am starting to really like Ruby! I was working on my plugin, for Gregarius, and I found myself having to often have the php code spit out javascript code using echo. So something like:
function myinsert(node) {
var ob = document.getElementById("maindiv");
ob.setAttribute('style','display:none');
}
would be converted to:

Recently I had the good fortune to visit once again a great chocolate store in Chicago named bon bon. I highly recommend it to everyone. They have an extensive collection of chocolates with the most unimaginable and interesting combinations of spices, from chili to anise to cardamom to green tea leaves. And they look amazing. If you do go, you absolutely have to try their hot chocolates, made by directly melting the same couverture used for their chocolates, optionally adding a lot of spices.
This is what they have to say for themselves:
Run by a free-spirited mother-and-daughter team, ‘bon bon’ elevates the art of chocolate to new levels. Fusing unexpected flavors like rose petals, Chai tea and Ancho chili with chocolate, and then transforming them into distinctive designs such as King Tut, Buddha and the Kama Sutra, Bon Bon has definitely set itself apart from all other chocolate shops.

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of watching the Shakespeare play “Measure for measure”, presented by Illinois Wesleyan’s School of Theatre Arts. It was directed by my good friend Tom Quinn, and it was truly a wonderful experience. Surprisingly enough I understood more than I expected to, and the actors (all undergraduates) did a really excellent job. This is the second play I am seeing produced by our School of Theater Arts, and I must say they are doing a wonderful job so far. Keep it up guys!
