Funny and so true.This doesn't ha...This was great! Funny and so true.<BR/><BR/>This doesn't have the family spin, but my coworkers and I have this debate all the time. I only eat lunch with them once or twice a week (since I'm frugal) so 50% of the time they just tell me to pick. Talk about pressure! I don't think I like it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, a few of us are programmers, so we joke about developing an algorithm which will give us a destination based on:<BR/><BR/>- who is coming (knowing who hates what and who loves what)<BR/>- how much time we have for lunch that day (e.g. before a meeting), knowing how long each place typically takes<BR/>- how cold/hot it is and how long of a walk it is to various places<BR/>- how recently we've been to an otherwise selected restaurant<BR/><BR/>Sounds pretty similar to the "Robocracy" you long for :)Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017527712691391156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37403451.post-67718383045976281842007-02-15T18:48:00.000-06:002007-02-15T18:48:00.000-06:00Ms Q- thanks for your comments and tips!

It was fun and I learned a ton about modifying my code. I might pursue the review idea, but I am fearful I would get too many ideas I don't like and end up ignoring them all :)<BR/><BR/>Karen & Liza- Thank you! Each morning it is both daunting to think about what to write, and then thrilling when you think you don't have much to say and then end up with a better-than-average post.<BR/><BR/>DigitalRichDigitalRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268800011597032930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37403451.post-32442366803990467052007-02-10T10:29:00.000-06:002007-02-10T10:29:00.000-06:00Hi, Rich - Even more cool updates!

Like the change in the header - matches the "daily" newspaper idea. <BR/><BR/>If you want feedback on your new layout, you might ask readers to review it. John Chow of JohnChow.com asked for reviews and it generated a lot of traffic for him as well as some ideas.<BR/><BR/>If you have a specific "review me" post, it will also allow all the feedback to be in one place.<BR/><BR/>I like JohnChow's idea of linking to each other (e.g. readers post a review of his site and link to the site) and then he linked back to them. I wrote a review of his site and once John linked to me, my Technorati rating increased. <BR/><BR/>I'd be happy to review your blog on my blog and my guess is your other fans will too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37403451.post-52756664144068537292007-02-09T14:07:00.000-06:002007-02-09T14:07:00.000-06:00Brilliant!

Brought me back to the days when I was ...Hilarious! Brought me back to the days when I was a kid. I think we only ate out on Sundays when we would visit the grandparents. Then it was the grandparents' choice which usually wasn't pizza or burgers. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the Thai food! Well, I pretty much like all Asian foods. If friends want to go out I just tell 'em I don't want to go to "Bob's House Of Deep-Fried Fish" as I stay away from deep-fried and I'm allergic to fish.<BR/><BR/>You changed the look of your blog and added Adsense! Nicely done!<BR/><BR/>I haven't added ads yet. Yeesh. What a sentence. <BR/><BR/>I like the 3-columns and the wider format. My 2 cents: not sure about the gray background. Hope you don't mind my saying so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
