Lazy Cooking

06.14.06

So some nights you just don’t feel like cooking, maybe you are home alone or maybe you just can be motivated to light the grill. Well for those nights I have discovered the perfect alternative - Lucini Pasta Sauce. This sauce actually tastes natural, it tastes like real tomatoes and goes well with just about any pasta. I tried their Spicy Tuscan Tomato and was very impressed. It was hands down the best tasting pasta sauce out of a jar I had ever eaten, most of the time when you open the jar you get some version of red food coloring with water and gelatin added. This my friends is the real deal, it actually contains fresh herbs, spices and fresh tomatoes. This comes straight from Italy where they certainly know their pasta sauce and they leave out all the crap nothing artificial, nothing dried, no sugar and no water.

Even the worst cook among us can boil some water and heat up some sauce, and for those nights I recommend Lucini Pasta Sauces.

Mobile Software Review: CityID

06.14.06

CityID Logo Recently, I’ve been borrowing a Nokia 6682 smart phone from my current employer in order to test out some of the new software that has been developed for these high-end handheld computing devices.  This will be the first in a series of posts about these software applications and my thoughts on them.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t tend to pick up a phone call when I have no idea who might be calling me.  Today, the limiting factor is whether or not that number appears in your address book.  As I’m sure has happened to many of you, when I receive a phone call from a number I don’t recognize, the first thing I do is ask the people around me if they happen to know the location of the area code.  Unfortunately, the list of area codes that I have memorized is short and limited to places I have lived, have family, or major US cities. 

As early as six months ago, I started suggesting that this would be a great thing to have on cell phones.  Sure enough, within the last month, a Seattle-based company, Cequint, came out with just such an application. 

First, I would like to caveat my comments by saying that this is an early stage company with the first release of their software, so a few bugs are guaranteed.  With such an application now installed on my borrowed Nokia, you would think my problem would solved, right? Well it is, sort of.
