  • Location: Eleanor Tinsley Park, just west of downtown Houston, TX.
  • Taken: 17-Jan-2010

Foodie Friday - More CAKE BALLS!

February 5th, 2010

Last Saturday, a group of iPhone developers and other like-minded folk met at the Coffee Groundz for a two-day meetup/conference. It was a good chance to get out of the house for a bit, and an excellent opportunity to partake of my most favoritist snack food EVAH:

Into my mouth I hereby take...
These yummy little balls of cake

Yes, cake balls. Red velvet cake balls. Anyone want to guess what I had for my birthday cake(balls)?

OK, I'll admit... I can not get me enough of these delightfully delish orbs of yummy nom. And, if you try one, you will find that neither can you. Go ahead. Try to eat just one. I dare you.

This, on the other hand, could make retraining fun again.

...and we're Going Deeper in Debt

Obama Sends Congress $3.8 Trillion Budget, Soaring Deficits Projected

What I find particularly disturbing: our national debt is on target to reach $15.6 trillion (with a "T") by October 1, 2011. Or, looking at it from another perspective: we are looking at the day when the national debt will exceed the nation's annual gross domestic product (GDP).

Yes, gentle readers: before too long, the entire ****ing country will be underwater. Which is bad new for our great-great grandkiddoes. Although I can hardly wait for Team Repo to hook up to California (not to mention Detroit), and tow them away.
