My client Jeff C invited me out to a dinner meeting at a Japanese
restaurant, Ichiban's. I normally don't care for Japanese food but as long
as there's something besides miso soup and sushi (which I affectionally
called “bait”) I'll go.
Especially if I'm not the one paying for it.
So we're sitting at the table, type type of table where they cook the
food for you right there and the cook is standing on the other side when he
tosses this egg up in the air and catches it with a spatula. It's
not broken mind you. He then flicks the egg in the air and catches it again
with the spatula. He does this about a dozen times, working up speed when
snick the spatula goes vertically through the egg cleaving it in
half and spilling the contents onto the cooking surface sending the shell to
either side.
I wonder how many eggs one has to break to perform that particular
cooking maneuver?
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
