We are a locally owned and operated small business using technology to continue doing business the old fashioned way. We offer high quality food, homemade from locally produced ingredients whenever possible, at very reasonable prices in a friendly, casual environment. There are no words to describe how much I truly LOVE this place. The look of the web interface is horrible, and as I remember, so was registration.. But you will become a happy customer of this fine establishment. Just go to the page, type in your account name, and your regular order is there waiting for you to hit go. And in very short order, a (cute) Burrito Girl will arrive with your order. They don't require your card at delivery and they have a way to add in your tip when you order, so you don't have to fumble with cash or cards when your food arrives. The Burrito's are very good. If you order extra nachos, I highly suggest the Salsa Fresca. burritodelivery.com |

More fusion news. Closer.. Closer... Closer.... Odds are by the time comercial fusion power plants are a reality, so will consumer fuel cells and distributed power systems. I hope that in about 30 years most of our energy will be generated in close proximity to where it is needed. And clean.. If you have eyes that can look more then 30 years into the future, its possible. Lets hope our government has those eyes and uses it's influence to drive the corporate world in that direction. They have no incentive to go there by themselves as it stands right now. Still Seeking a Fusion Solution |

He might have been the first Emperor of the United States to be based out of San Francisco, but he woln't be the last. he he he he he.. ha ha ha ha! HA HA HA!

This is something I need to take a deeper look at. I have been thinking alot about the changing buisness landscape latley. One of the thing I have said many times: The two forces you don't want to go up against are Technology and Nature, you will always lose. Right now we are walking into a realm where in various degress we _are_ fighting both, and if you don't think its going to become a bigger problem as time goes on you are shitting yourself. On the Technology side, Information is NO LONGER SCARCE. We have shitloads of it and we use it in a totally uneffective way in my opinion. We need filters to deal with this deluge of Information so we can turn it into the Knowledge we desire. I am doing my part to address this. Take this site for instance.. On the Nature side, we have the opposite problem. Natural capital, as the first page here states, is in decline. In America we don't always grasp this, as we have more space per person then any other developed nation. When you see a place like Hong Kong or Tokyo, you see this growing imbalence with nature. At some point, its going to bite us in the ass big time. Climate change is already visable. Energy concerns are not what they should be. Now, most of the world sees this as a problem that they don't want to really think about because its scary and hard to solve. I disagree. I think our greatest opportunities to improve the world around us, our quality of life, and our bank accounts, lie in the solutions to these problems. Its not a bad thing, as long as it gets addressed. I am sure people are looking, and don't get all green-hippy about it, they see dollar signs, not happy rain forests. I think evidence of long term planning for the future in referrence to nature does exist. I have theorized the primary reason that over the past two decades we have seen the 'gas station' as we know it change from a car garage with a gas pump, to a convience store/car wash/etc is part of a long term plan to be 'ready' to handle the changing market when Fuel Cells start to become the driving force of our cars. If you don't require as much maintainence/service, you need other services to use your real estate. The Gas Demons have no incentive to change anything any faster then they need to, but I think I see 'things' that denote some clue. Look who owns the patents on all this technology. At least, thats how I shit myself into thinking that as some point we are going to do someting to fix our energy situation. I'm working on the Technology angle here. If you aren't, read this and do something.. Ok? Natural Capitalism-Creating the Next Industrial Revolution |

I sware to God Decius and I came up with this idea first, only ours were going to eat people! Immagine if we acted on it in a even slightly more serious way then creating an inside joke. sigh.. These things need to be self aware.. Its not first to market that wins the game, its best to market. And I'm going to prove it damnit. SlugBot: Enemy of Slugs |
