Canada on Rails

So much to write about, so little energy!

More fanfare later, but for now:

And, for your possible enjoyment, some quick non-talk notes I made that look kind of amusing out of context. I’ll expand on these later. I’ve got a couple good stories to tell.

churrasqueria (sic)

parade of dead animals — onna stick (sword)
flip cards
flank steak
chacaba dancing banana drink
fried banana (mmmmm)

“2 blocks,” “4 blocks,” for large values of 2 or 4
rain, rain, rain
lots of buildings with awnings — because it rains all the time
tim horton’s actually sucks

    Well… TiHo sucks for coffee (and tea, frankly), but they have some rocking donuts. Try the Sour Cream Glazed.

    Tim Bray has in interesting write-up of this event:

    http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2006/04/13/RoR

    It gives a good healthy perpective of things which is sometimes hard to find if you tread mainly in rails circles (people either seem to love it or hate it) 🙂

    Great presentation at the conference Amy! Glad to see that your "style" isn’t limited to you writing. 🙂

    Sorry I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself, but I look forward to the book! Maybe next time.

    …and the only reason Timmy’s sucks is because you’re too used to Starbucks’ burnt beans! 🙂

    I didn’t have coffee, I ordered a hot chocolate. (I don’t really like coffee. GASP! Revelation!)

    They made it with powder and water.

    And the muffin I got tasted of frankenfood.

    🙁

    I don’t understand the frankenfood reference. Muffins are a bunch of dry ingredients (plus maybe fresh stuff like berries or whatever) mixed together and baked. What is frankenfood about that?

    Ohnoes! don’t diss Timmy’s with Canucks in the audience 😉

    I personally like starbucks, but only because they have lactose free milk and timmy’s just doesn’t

    somehow people get addicted to timmy’s I don’t know why.. been in Canada for 8 years but still haven’t caught the Timmy’s bug.. maybe one day eh? 🙂

  7. Amy Hoy says:

    As for frankenfood, it was spongey and bore no resemblance to having ever even introduced itself to something organic, much less been made from it.

    Wheat? What’s that? I sprang fully formed from the Muffin Pan of Unidentifiable Ingredients!

  8. I thout to do it in my local version!
